4Springing from the OnlySoManyCanadianActors phenomenon, Six Degrees of Canada, also known as Canadian 6 Degrees or [=C6D=], is a multifandom {{fandom}} that grew out of the ''Series/DueSouth'' community. Originally, it was known as "Six Degrees of ''Due South''" and included fanfic based on other projects that the actors from ''Series/DueSouth'' worked on. As it grew and expanded the term [=C6D=] was coined (most likely in 2005) to describe the wider range of fandoms now encompassed by the larger Six Degrees fandom.

6Despite this, the fandom still largely revolves around works involving actors who were regulars in ''Series/DueSouth'', especially Creator/PaulGross, Creator/DavidMarciano, and Creator/CallumKeithRennie. It's generally safe to say that if an actor was in ''Series/DueSouth'', ''WilbyWonderful'', or ''Film/MenWithBrooms'', then they're considered a [=C6D=] actor and anything they've been in is considered [=C6D=] (though in the case of tv shows it often doesn't "count" unless it's a recurring or particularly memorable role). Thus, for example, ''Film/{{Inception}}'' would be considered [=C6D=] by some as it has Creator/ElliotPage in it. However, ''Inception'' and other Hollywood blockbusters are rarely cited as [=C6D=] and don't typically get much interest from the [=C6D=] fandom as such; independent and/or Canadian films/tv shows tend to be the hallmark of [=C6D=] media.
