The Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon |
| |
|
|
| Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is a game derived from playwright
John Guare's Six
Degrees of Separation, a dark comedy of manners
in which the notion is posited that everyone in the world is related
to everyone else by no more than six degrees of separation. You take
any actor and hook him up with Kevin Bacon through movies he was in
with other people. Get it? |
| |
|
|
The Rules:
|
|
|
| |
1) When dealing with movies anything
goes! It doesn't matter if the actor was in the credits, or if it
was only a cameo. If they appeared in the movie they casn be used
(Even Extras!!) |
| |
2) You must connect the actor in six steps or less.
The actor is the first step and Kevin is the last. |
|
| |
3) The fewer the links the better. |
|
| |
4) Television. Many people don't like
to use TV shows and TV movies but according to the creators it is
okay but as long as you adhere to the following: If the person was
on a TV show, he or she had to have been a regular.
No cameos. If the person was in a TV movie he or she had to have had
a "real part." By using TV you can connect some really cool
people, like everyone's favorite talking car Kit. Why don't you try
it? |
| |
5) JFK. Everyone in the world is in this movie.
You can use it but it is recommended that you stay as far away from
it as you can.

| Here is an example: |
You Say "Sylvester Stallone"
|
|
| |
I say...
|
| |
Sylveter Stallone was in "Cliffhanger"
with John Lithgow
|
|
| |
John Lithgow was in "Footloose"
with Kevin Bacon
|
|
|
So you see Sylvester Stallone has a "Bacon Number"
of Two |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Now you try one, Link Robin Williams . . . ...Can't
get it?? Click here for the answer. |

| Bacon #: |
The number of steps to link an actor to Kevin Bacon in know as that
actor's Bacon Number. Calculations such as these produce Bacon Numbers
which some find surprising. Such diverse actors from earlier Hollywood
history as Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Ronald Reagan, Bette Davis,
Buster Keaton, and Humphrey Bogart, all have Bacon Numbers of 2. Even
Charlie Chaplin is separated from Bacon by only 3. The Oracle
of Bacon at Virginia, has calculated that the average
Bacon Number for all actors is 2.8. According to them, more than 1,200
actors have Bacon numbers of 1; over 74,000 have numbers of 2; and
over 133,000 have Bacon Numbers of 3. |

| My Number: |
Let men tell you a little story. I am a wrestling fan, and in Dec
'99 I went to see a WCW nitro in Baltimore, MD. The arena was full
at 7:30, but everyone knows Nitro doesn't start until 8. The announcer
came over the PA system and informed us that we were needed to help
get some crowd reaction for the movie "Ready To Rumble"
which co-starred WCW's Diamond Dallas Page. So I was in the movie
as an extra within that crowd reaction for the last match. So, back
to my number, The star of "Ready To Rumble"was
Oliver Platt who was in Flatliners with
Kevin Bacon giving me a Kevin Bacon Number of 2! |
