Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon - The Game

Recommended Posts

I was talking about it in chat, and thought "what a good forum idea."

So here it is, let's play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

If you don't know how, well, that's what Google is for, but I'll give you a hand:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon

I'll give the first name. If you solve it, leave a name of your own.

First up, an easy one: Will Smith.

 

 

Since the thread's been/will be moved, I'd figure I'd give some more instructions:

 

The previous poster will provide an actor's name.

Your task will be to find the connection between that actor and Kevin Bacon.

It must be done in SIX or less steps or "degrees"

 

Examples:

Tom Cruise

was in A Few Good Men with

Kevin Bacon.

 

That's a degree of one.

 

Robert Downey Jr.

was in Home for the Holidays with

David Strathairn

was in Enormous Changes at the Last Minute with

Kevin Bacon

 

That's a degree of two.

 

Voice actors are acceptable choices

For the time being, we're only using connections between movies and actors, not crew or television shows.

TV movies count but not a mini-series

The bigger actors can sometimes be easier to find links, but smaller actors (usually ones you've never heard of but famous enough to have a headshot on IMDB) often provide shorter links.

 

The use of Google and IMDB is permitted (and relatively necessary). I'm not gonna make it THAT difficult. :D

 

When you've made a connection, post an actor for the next person.

 

Don't worry about using an actor someone else has used. There's usually more than one way to link them, and I wouldn't make anyone search the whole thread, anyway.

 

Finally, beware of @argar. They're really good, really fast, and knows a lot of obscure actors. :D

I admit I pretty much IMDBed this whole list (and it can probably be done with less, but I only used movies I had actually seen). Still, fun to do once, and now I'll leave this thread to the actual movie buffs.
