We are 4 degrees from Kevin Bacon.
Let me explain. My brother in law, M was once a contestant on a game show on the A&E network, called "House of Dreams". Through this show he became good friends with George Wendt, who appeared as the character Norm in the TV show, "Cheers". M has also been a screenwriter for the A&E network.
George Wendt is 2 degrees from Kevin Bacon, M is 1 degree from George Wendt, so that makes us 4 degrees from Kevin Bacon!
Apparently, Kevin Bacon once stated that he had worked with every actor in Hollywood at one time or another, and people wanted to find out how close they were to him, hence the birth of the trivia game "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon".You can see the game here:
The Kevin Bacon Game
I dont know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, I like Kevin Bacon, but in the movie "The River Wild" he completely freaked me out.

We used to play this game all the time! And then we changed it up a bit, by naming two totally different celebrities and trying to connect them in as little links as possible. Like Tom Hanks and Ellen DeGeneres. So much fun and a great game to do in the car. Although access to IMDB.com helps.
I personally LOVE Kevin Bacon. Since seeing the movie "She's Having A Baby" in, like, 1986, he's been one of my favorites. You're lucky to know "fun" people, like M.
Since you are 4 degrees from Kevin Bacon, does that make me 5 degrees? Since I know YOU? BWAHAHAHA!
I've never played this! Sounds fun :) I like him okay. Not like Mark Harmon LOL
I'm with Kim-d - I'm so excited to only be 5 degrees from Kevin Bacon.
We play this kind of game, too, usually around the chiminea after a few drinks, so it's pretty fun!
Just don't watch him in the Woodsman. That is a terrible movie. Well, he is a good actor it is just the theme of the movie is not a good topic.
