Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

[Treinenwj]

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...

...sandra bullock...

 

[kockroach]

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