View Full Version : Let's play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon...

...The ultimate movie geek game. For those of you who don't know how to play you must connect an actor with Kevin Bacon in six steps or less. For example, if someone said Nick Nolte I would say, "Nick Nolte starred in Blue Chips with Ed O'Neill, who starred in Dutch with Ethan Embry, who in turn starred with Chevy Chase in Vegas Vacation, who starred with Tim Matheson in Fletch, who starred in Animal House with Kevin Bacon. It's just that simple.

Few ground rules: You can only use movies. No TV. And no IMDb or internet searches please. That's cheating. Ok, I'll start it off...

Thora Birch. Go.

I don't know it.

But make sure whoever names the actors knows that it is possible.

What about me? I was in Jersey Girl with Affleck, Lopez, Carlin, Steven Root, Mike Starr and Liv Tyler. How few steps can you connect me to ol' Kev Bacon?

Thora Birch to Scarlett Johannsen (Ghost World) to Bill Murray (Lost in Translation) to Bacon (Wild Things).

How about Catherine O'Hara. Not tough. Can be done in one, but do whatcha gotta.
Matt1
10-09-2003, 07:16 PM
Well, one of the cool things about this game unlike other games is that you don't have to wait for verification from the person who posed the question, or in this case actor. If you connect all the dots logically, you can just name another actor and keep it going.

My thoughts exactly on Thora Birch.
code6enterprises
10-09-2003, 07:21 PM
Yea, I had gotten to Lost in Translation and I thought that Murray had worked with Bacon but I couldn't think of where.
Ryall
10-09-2003, 07:23 PM
Sorry, Thora Birch:

She was in Ghost World with Steve Buscemi. Buscemi was in Trees Lounge with Sam Jackson. Jackson was in True Romance with Christian Slater. Slater was in Murder in the First with...Kevin Bacon.

There's probably easier ways, but...

My pick, other than me, is Steve Martin.

10-09-2003, 07:28 PM
Catherine O'Hara to Eugene Levy (Best In Show) to Meg Ryan (Armed and Dangerous) to Tom Hanks (Sleepless in Seattle) to Jennifer Jason Leigh (Road to Perdition) to Sean Penn (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) to Kevin Bacon (Mystic River). I like to go complex.

Steve Martin was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon.

Nice one Carrot Top. But can you get my pick of Ryall...? It's actually pretty easy.
Ryall
10-09-2003, 07:52 PM
Wow, I really...challlenged...you, didn't I?

The funny thing is, I almost picked Carrot Top. It can be done.

Oh, sorry.

Ryall was in "Jersey Girl" with George Carlin who was in "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" with Chelcie Ross who was in "Novocaine" with Kevin Bacon.

Wasn't there a thread linking to the Kevin Bacon site recently? NO FAIR, you are just using that site.

He's a stand-up comedian too. Pretty funny. He did an issue of Justice League as well, I think. He's on Conan alot.

Frankly, I think Chloe Jones would be easier than Patton, but I'll give it a go...

No, I didn't use IMDb. I do have a link to 'The Oracle of Bacon' at the University of Virginia on my website and play that a lot, but I didn't use it here. That is why I haven't been participating in this thread. Didn't want to be accused of cheating. And it is why this will probably be my only contribution to the thread. I just happened to have watched both of those movies.
