Visualizing Each Layer of Relationships

Neo4j Graph Platform Cypher

Hi everyone, I'm new to Neo4j but currently what I'm trying to do is visualize a node and all the relationships to it by layers. So for example if we use the movies/actors relationships database that's one of the Neo4j tutorials and I look at tom hanks.

the command of " Match ((n:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]-(b:Movie)) where n.name =~ "Tom Hanks" return n,b"

gives me back Tom Hanks and all of his immediate relationships (all his movies). Now if I want to see what the next layer of relationships-- so all the people connected to those movies how could i do that?

Hi
There are 3 relationships until the next (:Movie)
(n:Person)-[1]-(:Movie)-[2]-(:Person)-[3]-(b:Movie)

MATCH (n:Person)-[:ACTED_IN*3]-(b:Movie)
WHERE n.name =~ "Tom Hanks"
RETURN n,b

You can except that the relationship does not come directly.
AND NOT (n)-[:ACTED_IN]-(b)

MATCH (n:Person)-[:ACTED_IN*3]-(b:Movie)
WHERE n.name =~ "Tom Hanks"
AND NOT (n)-[:ACTED_IN]-(b)
RETURN n,b

Or With Person

MATCH (n:Person)-[:ACTED_IN*2]-(n2:Person)-[:ACTED_IN]-(b:Movie)
WHERE n.name =~ "Tom Hanks"
RETURN n2,b
