Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon

[Gillette]

There is a theory that everyone in the world is connected by six degrees of separation. In this game the objective is to connect a given hollywood actor to Kevin Bacon through six movies.

JFK may not be used as the final link to Kevin Bacon (too easy, far too many cameos).

Example

Vince Vaughn
was in Psycho with Anne Heche, who
was in Six Day Seven Nights with Harrison Ford, who
was in Air Force One with Gary Oldman, who
was in Criminal Law with
Kevin Bacon

4 degrees shown.

Feel free to shorten a previous list (hint - this one can be halved) and leave a name for the next person to solve.

I'll begin with...

Christian Bale

 

[mindseye]

Christian Bale was in Batman Begins with Sarah Wateridge.
Sarah Wateridge was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon.


Dame Edna.

 

[ManlyBanisters]

Christian Bale:
was in Empire of the Sun with John Malcovich
was in Dangerous Liasons with Glenn Close
was in Mars Attacks with Jack Nicholson
was in A few Good Men with Kevin Bacon

OK I'll go with Johnny Depp next... (I wish)

Edit - damn - beaten to it:
OK:
Dame Edna (Barry Humphries) was in Finding Nemo with Willem Dafoe
was in Born on the Fourth of July with Beau Starr
Beau Starr was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon

I repeat - Depp!

 

[Gillette]

Dame Edna.

Finding Nemo - Dafoe
Born on the 4th of July- Cruise
A Few Good Men - Bacon

That almost made me late for work.

Johnny Depp as above

Ahem, way to kill a thread.

Johnny Depp - Penelope Cruz in Blow
Penelope - Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky
Tom Cruise - Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men

For any still interested...

David Duchovny

 

[ManlyBanisters]

I'm sure I must have missed a few more obvious ones but:

David Duchovny in
zoolander with jon voigt in
catch22 with alan arkin in
gattaca with ethan hawke in
training day with macy gray in
domino with kiera knightly in
love actually with denise richards in
wild things with kevin bacon

Oh bugger - is that 7?

Oh WOW I would NEVER have found that with just, like, Google and a gazillion and one other search engines at my disposal.

News flash: It's fun to DIY sometimes

'Tis 7, sorry. I'll shorten that by shortcutting Jon Voight to Burt Renolds in Deliverance, Burt to Demi Moore in Striptease, then Demi to Bacon in A Few Good Men.

You forgot to leave a name Ms Bannisters so you're up again.

Gwenneth Paltrow

 

[ManlyBanisters]

You forgot to leave a name Ms Bannisters so you're up again.

Gwenneth Paltrow

Yes well - I didn't feel worthy having convaluted myself up to 7!

Still Gwenny is easy peasy:

GP was in Shakespeare in Love with Colin Firth
CF was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon

I have redeemed myself

Christopher Walken (without using a Few Good Men? - cos there's more than a few of the buggers :wink: )

 

[Gillette]

Christopher Walken in
True Romance with Christian Slater
Murder in the First with Kevin Bacon.

I'll leave you with...
John Goodman

 

[B_spiker067]

To be mean friends and I would play Six Degrees of Divine Brown.

It was a math problem associated with CDC formulas or something like that and the news at the time that got it started.

 

[ManlyBanisters]

John Goodman was in Monsters Inc. with
Steve Buscemi was in Charlotte's Web with
Julia Roberts was in Ocean's Eleven with
Brad Pitt was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon

Robert Carlyle

 

[Gillette]

Oh, FFS!

I was thinking of someone completely different.

Robert Carlyle in Trainspotting with-
Ewan McGregor in Brassed Off with-
Pete Postlethwaite in The Usual Suspects with-
Kevin Pollack in A Few Good Men with-
Kevin Bacon

Bloody Hell what a pain in the ass that was.

Now someone else can do who I thought it was.

John Walsh

 

[chrstphrrr]

John Walsh

John Walsh to Christine Baranski in "East Broadway"
Christine Baranski to Oliver Platt in "Bulworth"
Oliver Platt to Kevin Bacon in "Flatliners"

Edgar Bergan & Charlie McCarthy

 

[bobabooey69]

No JFK? Damn that movie was my lifeline! hehe

 

[mindseye]

Heh. Do you have to be listed in the credits to have a Kevin Bacon number? 'Cause if not, here's an LPSG-themed connection:

Mindseye was an uncredited extra in Duncan's World (1977) with Ben Browder.
Ben Browder was in A Kiss Before Dying with Matt Dillon.
Matt Dillon was in Loverboy with Kevin Bacon.

 

[petetown]

I used to tend bar at Mesa Grill in NYC. Tom Cruise came in for dinner one nite with Nicole Kidman, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick....He is definitely packing some major bone.
Am I related????

 

[Principessa]

John Walsh to Christine Baranski in "East Broadway"
Christine Baranski to Oliver Platt in "Bulworth"
Oliver Platt to Kevin Bacon in "Flatliners"

Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy

Does it still count if I had to call a friend? :tongue:

Edger Bergen was in the Muppet Movie (1979)
with Steve Martin who was in Novocaine (2001)
with Kevin Bacon.
