    Talking How many actors can we link to Kevin Bacon?

    Following my threat over in the Narrator's Ready Room, I present to you:

    Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

    We all know of the game by now - let's post an actor (or actress), and how many moves, via whatever movie, we can link back to kevin. To make it a little more interesting, let's do it in five (5) moves, not six.

    I'll start:

    Kermit the Frog - starred in Muppet Treasure Island with Tim Curry;
    Tim Curry starred in The Three Musketeers with Keifer Sutherland;
    Keifer Sutherland starred in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

    Let the fun begin...

    Ah-ha...

    Tenuous connections... A game I hame been playing as a drinking game for years. Link (Actor X) with (Actor Y) via films, other actors or directors...

    Rules;

    1 - Names must be known but at least one other person.
    2 - Name/Film must only be used once.

    Sounds easy until;

    3 - You must drink from your pint until the connection is made when the next connection must be made by the person on your right. No your other right..

    As you can imagine after a few rounds (both of the game and of the beer) the game difficulty increases naturally...

    That said I didn't want Kermit to feel singled out so heres a link to Rocky and Bullwinkle.

    Kevin Bacon via Murder in the First to;

    Christian Slater who starred in True Romance alongside;

    Christopher Walken Which links to that classic film The Deer Hunter which starred;

    Robert De Niro who was somehow convinced to play the bad guy in the Rocky and Bullwinkle Debacle, er, I mean movie...

    I dunno about ACTORS, but my GF's kenpo instructor was an extra in a film with Kevin Bacon ...

    So I'm just a few hops away.

    And, by extension, so are the rest of you!
