Who is Kevin Bacon?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

It's that guy who donned an elaborate disguise to experience life as a non-famous person.

Famous actor and musician: Footloose, Tremors, Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13, Mystic River, JFK, etc. He is a pretty prolific actor, but of course not everyone knows of every famous person out there. My favorite Kevin Bacon fact is the game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". It appears to show up right in the comment below this one. My Kevin Bacon number is 3. My father is friend's with a bandmate in his son's band.

Can promise you mine is in the thousands no one I know been near him.

You'd be surprised. You can probably get 6 degrees to someone like Kim Jung Un. Just about everyone is more closely connected to everyone else than you might think. The "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game was meant to demonstrate that.

Ever seen Tremors? (the first one) X-men First Class? Footloose?
