The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

This game was developed by three college friends who went to Albright College (Reading, PA). They first appeared on the Jon Stewart show on MTV (his old show--not the daily show). It is based on the theory that Kevin Bacon is the center of the entertainment universe, and that any actor or actress can be linked back to him, typically within six degrees (six connections) (variations on this game are based on the assumption that almost anyone in the world can be linked to anyone else in the world by six or seven degrees). How can you tell?

Simple. By looking at movies that actors and actresses have in common, you can link them to Kevin Bacon. For example, Jack Nicholson was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon. Michelle Pfeiffer was in "Wolf" (or "The Witches of Eastwick") with Jack Nicholson, who was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon. And so on. The number of intervening movies is that actor or actresses' Bacon Number or degree number. Thus, in this example, Nicholson would have a Bacon Number of 1 and Michelle Pfeiffer a Bacon Number of 2.

I'm four away...

I have friend named Dave who is working as a PA on [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358273/"]Walk the Line[/url] with Joaquin Phoenix
Joaquin Phoenix was in It's All About Love (2003) with Sean Penn
Sean Penn was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon

Or, even three away...

Another friend once delivered a pizza to Mickey Rourke.
Mickey Rourke was in Diner with Kevin Bacon.

Or another three....

I once saw Joe Strummer drunk and disorderly at a hotel lobby.
Joe Strummer was in Straight to Hell (1987) with Courtney Love
Courtney Love was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon


I'm sure there's more.

One interesting thing, Dave also worked on the show Fear Factor. SO when I first tried this, I tried it with Joe Rogan (the host of Fear Factor). It said Joe Rogan could not be traced to Kevin Bacon. I thought everyone could......
