6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Oh, come ON! I just ran a search and there isn't a thread for this! We're gonna play right now.

This is how we'll play. An actor/actress will be named, then people will come up with a 6 step to connect them to Kevin Bacon. Got it? The first person to get the 6 degree connection gets to name the next actor/actress! Let's go!

Here's an example:

Actor: Arnold Schwarzenegger
1. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in T2 with Edward Furlong.
2. Edward Furlong was in American History X sith Edward Norton.
3. Edward Norton was in Death to Smoochy with Robin Williams.
4. Robin Williams was in Bicentennial Man with Sam Neill.
5. Sam Neill was in Event Horizon with Laurence Fishburne.
6. Laurence Fishburne was in Mystic River with KEVIN BACON.

Let's play. Actor: Nicolas Cage...

 

I thought it was 7 degrees?

 

Kevin Bacon went to my high school.

 

you'll have to cook it hotter than 6 degrees if you want to avoid salmonella.

 

Less than 7?

1-Bacon and Tom Hanks in Apollo 13
2-Hanks and Giovanni Ribisi in Saving Private Ryan
3-Ribisi and Nicolas Cage in Gone In 60 Seconds

 

GO Arnold!

 

Is Tremors out on DVD?

 

i did carrie fisher.

carrie fisher was in return of the jedi with ian mcdiarmid
ian mcdiarmid was in attack of the clones with christopher lee
christopher lee was in the lord of the rings with sean astin
sean astin was in white water summer with kevin bacon



how about....

Billy Bob Thornton

 

Billy Bob Thorton is in The Alamo with Dennis Quiad.
Dennis Quiad is in The Right Stuff with Fred Ward.
Fred Ward is in Tremors with Kevin Bacon.


How about Sean Conery.

 

sean connery was in indiana jones with harrison ford
harrison ford was in return of the jedi with ian mcdiarmid
ian mcdiarmid was in attack of the clones with christopher lee
chris lee was in lord of the rings with sean astin
sean astin was in white water summer with kevin bacon

this seems awfully familiar

how about...

Uma Thurman

 

uma thurman was in The Avengers with Sean Connery
sean connery was in indiana jones with harrison ford
harrison ford was in return of the jedi with ian mcdiarmid
ian mcdiarmid was in attack of the clones with christopher lee
chris lee was in lord of the rings with sean astin
sean astin was in white water summer with kevin bacon

Original, I know...

 

Uma Thurma is in Kill Bill with Lucy Lui.
Lucy Lui is in Charlies' Angels with Bill Murray.
Bill Murray is in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.



Here's one. Tommy Lee Jones.

 

jMO - -- i would've gone from uma to sam jackson and so on.

EDIT:

Tommy Lee Jones was in JFK with Kevin Bacon

 

Here's one. Tommy Lee Jones.


JFK.

Do I get a cookie?


And like that...he's gone.

 

EDIT ON THE RULES:

To make it challenging, the connection must be made in exactly 6 degrees. And we shouldn't keep using known connections:
"any episode ii actor was with Christopher Lee.
Christopher Lee was with Sean Astin in LOTR.
Sean Astin was with Kevin Bacon in White Water Summer."

With these rules added to the challenge, it will be difficult, and personally rewarding, to find more movie connections.

 

Can you assure me that it will be personally rewarding?

 

Oh come on, how could it not be?


And we shouldn't keep using known connections
SO we should use only unknown connections?

 

No, just not repetitive ones, such as the example I listed. Use them as a last resort, the idea of this game is that every actor in Hollywood can be tied to Kevin Bacon. Using more venues opens more actors to be tied.

 

I think we should play the game so that we can link any two actors, not just one with Kevin Bacon. Can anybody connect Jet Li with Sean Connery?

 

Tommy Lee Jones was in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford
Harrison Ford was in Star Wars with James Earl Jones
James Earl Jones was in Coming to America with Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy was in Showtime with Robert DeNiro
Robert DeNiro was in The Untouchables with Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner was in JFK with Kevin Bacon

 

It's about Kevin Bacon because some interviewer said that he's practically tied to all major movie stars. That spurred this addictive game that everyone in Hollywood is connected to Kevin Bacon. Then the nay-sayers say, "Nay, I will find an actor who is not!" and they spend hours in vain. Pretty soon, the non-believers become the believers and the game goes on, challenging people's movie trivia. So let's not connect any two actors, let's just stick to Kevin Bacon like the topic says.


And I got Tommy Lee Jones:
1. TLJ was in MIB with Will Smith.
2. Will Smith was in Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman.
3. Gene Hackman was in Runaway Jury with Dustin Hoffman.
4. Dustin Hoffman was in Kramer vs. Kramer with Meryl Streep.
5. Meryl Streep was in Ironweed with Jack Nicholson
6. Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

Now let's try Jet Li to Kevin Bacon, eh?

EDIT: Arrghh! The_Ultimate_Fett beat me, but he didn't specify another actor/actress. Let's continue with Jet Li.

 

1. Jet Li was in Lethal Weapon 4 with Mel Gibson.
2. Mel Gibson was in Forever Young with Jamie Lee Curtis.
3.Jamie Lee Curtis was in True Lies with Art Malik (The main villian)
4. Art Malik was in The Living Daylights with Desmond Llewelyn (Q)
5. Desmond Llewelyn was in The World Is Not Enough with Denise Richards.
6. Denise Richards was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon.

Try to match Cary Grant and Kevin Bacon.

 

Who are we connecting next?

 

Jack Black.

 

Jack Black was in saving silverman with Jason Biggs.
Biggs was in American Pie with Shannon Elizabeth
Elizabeth was in Jay and silent bob strike back with Ben Affleck
Affleck was in Armegedon with Liv Tyler
Tyler was in that thing you do with Tom Hanks
Hanks was in Apollo 13 with bacon

Next do Jennifer Garner
