Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon - BOTL Cigar Forums

Treinenwj · 03-16-2010, 09:20 AM

I thought it might be fun to play the Kevin Bacon Game. For those unfamiliar with it, it goes like this: there's a theory that all actors/ actresses can be linked to Kevin Bacon in six movies or less.

Example: Elisabeth Shue. She was in The Saint w/ Val Kilmer. He was in Top Gun w/ Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men w/ Kevin Bacon!

Three movies, and she was connected. Then, once a person makes the connection, he/ she posts up the next actor/actress for someone to connect, so on and so on until the thread dies.

To kick it off, I'll start with: Sandra Bullock

i had a professor in college who went to Julliard and roomed with robin williams, who surely must have done something with kevin bacon over the years...

Just to beat your example down...Shue starred with Bacon in Hollow Man.

Try to stick to acting roles in movies, makes it more challenging
