You've heard of this game, right? You pick someone and try to link them to Kevin Bacon using the cast and crew of different movies (typically the cast and major players, like the director, producer, or screenwriter). It's typically played "off the top of your head," but sometimes, you need IMDB for the really obscure ones...like me. The idea is that it's a small world out there, and everyone in the world can be linked by six degrees or less.
Personally, I got to Kevin Bacon in 5, although I found avenues to pretty much every major name in Hollywood. Anyway, here's my Kevin Bacon.
George Willson -> No Kind of Life Allison Kirkpatrick -> Lucky Day Doug Phillips -> Beat Angel Lisa Niemi -> She's Having a Baby Kevin Bacon
Ta-da! It took me a little while to get there, and Allison is the only person on my set who had been in anything that was on IMDB, but there it is. Legit. No one uncredited.
"me" -> Doc Hollywood Bridget Fonda-> Balto Kevin Bacon
I guess it might not count... the movie was shot right here in Micanopy. My son and I both auditioned. My son was perfect, the cutest ever, but they were looking for a sickly looking kid so he didn't get it. I was an extra, but as usual was edited down to almost nothing. Oh well...
Can't believe this actually applies to me. So long as Steven's also counts anyway.
Me -> Kal Szegvary (produced my script, Abattoir) Kal Szegvary -> Howard Stern (talked about Kal's film, Cannibal Rollerbabes, on his talk show and basically immortalized it in micro-cult circles) Howard Stern -> Private Parts Paul Giamatti -> Saving Private Ryan Tom Hanks -> Apollo 13 Kevin Bacon
This is a link to my yet to be produced short A Dolls Life which is being produced by
John Brian Smith -> Robin Hood (post-production) Cate Blanchett -> Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008 ) Karen Allen -> Animal House (1978 ) Kevin Bacon
