In 1992 [edit: 1994], I was working in a bookstore in Manhattan. (The one from When Harry Met Sally).
Kevin Bacon came in to the store to shop for books. I was standing next to him when he accidentally knocked a few books off of one of the display tables. He made a comment about how clumsy he was, I said don't worry about it or something like that.

Do I win?

Uh.... so far I’m thinking yes! Lol

That’s awesome.

I met Stephen Colbert at a football game; Bacon has been on Colbert.

I like eating bacon. So does Kevin Bacon.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

I am actually Kevin Bacon.

My neighbor back in Canada had this log cabin that Jack Nicholson stayed in while he was filming The Pledge.
So...a little research reveals that Jack and Kevin were in A Few Good Men together = 3 Degrees.

a little research reveals

a little research reveals

a little research reveals


Please tell me you've seen A Few Good Men....

Its been a loooong time.

I have a couple, but nothing like direct contact with the Baconator.

I went to HS with Maria Menounos, who was in Entourage w/ Billy Bob Thornton, who was in a movie with Bacon

I also met Jean-Claude Van Damme in Puerto Rico, he was in a movie with Kevin Chapman who was in Mystic River w/ Bacon.

For those uninitiated, this site has been around ever since the '6 degrees of Bacon' became a thing, you can play around with different links.

I met Robin Williams a few times living in San Francisco, once I was an extra in the movie flubber.

Robin was either in movies with a number of other actors or directed by Directors who also worked with Kevin bacon.

Or you could use Vince Gill or Carrie Underwood who are both 2s. I have met both so, I’m a 3.

ΜΟΛΩΝ-ΛΑΒΕ
we're doomed

I had Brian Grazer on a flight, (I served him a sandwich) he and Ron Howard own Imagine Entertainment that produced Apollo 13, Kevin Bacon starred in the film (and the sandwich had bacon in it)

My brother worked for Richard and Lauren Donner’s production company. Without doing the research, I’m sure Kevin Bacon has been in one of their movies.

So three degrees.

I'm on an internet forum with a guy who has a friend that has a vacation home next to a guy that was in a movie with Kevin Bacon.


4 degrees for me.

I miss YaHey

Back in the 1980/90's people used to tell me that I looked a lot like Kevin Bacon.

according to that site, I have a Bacon Number of 2.

I met, talked and rode (for a very very short distance) with Lance Armstrong in Austin in 1998.
Lance Armstrong was in "You, Me & Dupree" with a guy named Todd Stashwick.
Todd Stashwick was in "The Air I Breathe" with Kevin Bacon.

I chatted with a Meghan Markle about her dog a few weeks ago, who is two degrees off KB. Close enough for me.

===============
Proud member of the MSF (Maple Syrup Mafia)

I was a lawyer for a movie studio, which produced at least one Kevin Bacon movie.

I generally live my life footloose.

My wife and I were married in 1996. At our wedding, I pulled out some dance moves from Footloose.

I am going to call it one degree of separation due to the quality of my reenactment.

"Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f___ things up" - Barack Obama, 2020

my 4 year old daughter adores Footloose. And she knows how to ask Alexa to play it. Like 10 times in a row....

I was an extra in Batman "Rise of the Dark Knight" and was in a scene with Gary Oldman which gives me a separation of 2 (Gary Oldman was in JKF with Kevin Bacon). Outside of that I've got 4-5 3's.

I have "A Few Good Men" (currently on AMC) on in the background as I'm "working from home".

I met Kevin Bacon when he was filming Mystic River. 1st degree for me.

As we sat at the pool bar, at the Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort in St. Thomas USVI, almost exactly ten years ago today, a lone guitarist played some funky reggae. His shiny black guitar was plugged into a nicely sized professional rig, complete with a Midi synthesizer and drum machine. Play a background rhythm track, sample a bass line loop, and then tell the machine to play a steel drum instead of an electric guitar.

Fascinating.

At the break, as I studied his set-up with much interest, he told us that he had played in Isaac Hayes’s band a couple of years before, on a tour of Europe.

D’Wife drank Electric Lemonade while I created some flow charts on the back of a few paper Bass Ale coasters.

Isaac Hayes was a guest on Rockford Files with Jim Garner who played an aging astronaut in Space Cowboys with Donald Sutherland who was an English Professor in Animal House which introduced us to Kevin Bacon as Chip Diller, the prick Omega pledge [“Thank you, Sir. May I have another?!”], and ROTC enlistee who gets trampled in the riot after the parade.

Clint Eastwood was also in Space Cowboys. Tim Matheson, who played Otter in Animal House with Kevin Bacon, was Officer Phil Sweet in the Dirty Harry film Magnum Force.

Clint Eastwood also directed Mystic River, a mystery starring Kevin Bacon.

Tommy Lee Jones [Space Cowboys] and Donald Sutherland were both in JFK, as was Kevin Bacon. But then, so was .. . everybody.

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

I've met a general who has briefed both President Obama and Trump. Obama is a distant cousin of Kevin and a young Trump is pictured with Kevin.

Two degrees I think?

Kevin Bacon was in Mystic River with Sean Penn. I worked on location last year for Sean Penn (director - Flag Day).

Kevin Bacon > Renee Zellweger
My One and Only

Renee Zellweger > My cousin's Promdate
(he brings this up all the time. It was 30 yeas ago. It is getting sad)

So 3 for me.

I know someone who was in a movie with him. Is that one or two degrees?

Four degrees is the best I can do.

1. My best friend late 70s/early 80s was actor Hugo Weaving
2. Hugo worked with Terence Stamp in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
3. Stamp worked with Kiefer Sutherland in Young Guns
4. Sutherland worked with Bacon in Flatliners

Really reaching here....walter cronkite was using the urinal next to me during the intermission of a broadway show. Cronkite did some voice over work and appeared in newsclips in the film Apollo 13- starring kevin bacon.

Curb Your Enthusiasm fan by any chance? If so check out the most recent season. Season finale has Sean Penn in a probably awesome role (as himself).

I attended the college that Animal House was based on.

I dated Cindy Crawford who was in a movie with William Baldwin who was in a movie with Kevin.

My Grandmother and Grandfather, but Grandmother was in the same grade, went to school with Neil Armstrong.

Neil Armstrong was the backup commander on Apollo 9 with Jim Lovell as the module pilot.

Lovell, who was the commander of Apollo 13 cameoed in the movie "Apollo 13", which Kevin stared in as Jack Swigert.

Pics or it didn’t happen.... Cindy Crawford. Gotta ask, why did you guys break up?

Your Grandparents are from Wapak?

What year did they graduate? My system was 66, brothers 69, 70, and I was 77.

When I lived in Philly, I would run around Penn's Landing and Society Hill, which were projects that were designed and constructed during Edmund Bacon's tenure at the City Planning Commission [Ed being KB's dad]

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

Found my Grandpa's obit, he graduated in 48, so Grandma would have been 45 or 46 as she was a couple years older than he was. You likely went to school with all my dad's cousins, as they would have been going through around that time. Oddly enough my great Grandmother taught high school math and english, but not at Wapak.

Had an old girlfriend who went to Albright College in PA. She was friends with the dudes who are credited with inventing the Kevin Bacon game (look it up).

I have met then. They met Kevin Bacon.

I want double points for 2 degrees from KB, and the game itself!

Stayed at the home of a guy whose son married Laura Linney who starred with Kevin Bacon in Mystic River.

(unfortunately, said guy, who is my father-in-law's cousin, is on a ventilator with COVID-19 in Chicago)

"Go yell at an M&M"

I met Ed Harris on a movie set (my dad was a production manager). Ed Harris worked with Kevin Bacon on Apollo 13. So that's 2.

3 degrees for me, I met Veronica Hamel in her Hill Street Blues days.

Veronica Hamel
was inA New Life
withMary Kay Place
was inStarting Over
withKevin Bacon
then there's my neighbor that was an extra (that 'died' in one episode) on the TV series (not the mini) Lonesome Dove
Eric McCormack
was inMy One and Only
withKevin Bacon

Jamie Lee Curtis has kissed me on the cheek.
She has been in two movies with KB.

So, 2.

I have a cousin who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon.

I repaired a guitar for him back in the day.

I had backstage passes to a Big Audio Dynamite II concert where I met Mick Jones...

Mick Jones was in "Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten" with Matt Dillon...

Matt Dillon was in "Wild Things" with Kevin Bacon.

That's the best I could do.

One of my aunts lived in Wapak. Not sure what district they were in. About the same age. If you went to school with them you would have known them, big family, all ridiculously tall, last name of Mosler.

---

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Could it have been Mosier? there were a couple of those and I was friends with Mark Mosier.

I dated Cindy Crawford who was in a movie with William Baldwin who was in a movie with Kevin. //

What year?? I dated her personal trainer in the mid 80's, and later dated a gal that lived next door to her and her husband in Malibu. Got to meet her a few times, nice lady. I remember back in the day Emlio had a big crush on her, and I got a signed bikini calendar for him. Doesnt sound like much, but she wouldn't sign anything back in the day for less than $10k, and it had to go to charity. So I guess I snuck one in..


Not sure where that leaves me on the Bacon challenge, but I'm sure that somewhere I'm just one away from him. I just knew and was around a lot of his crowd back in the day, remember standing in line for 20 minutes shooting the shit with Speilberg and a Mexican resutrante.

Nope - Mosler with an L - they were farmers so probably a rural district.They would have stood out - there were 8 of them I think and each taller than the last. The tallest went around 6'8".

This kills my connection to Bacon. Damn.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Let me clarify for you monty. By 'I dated Cindy Crawford' could be translated as I worked with her sister who was based in Chicago. The best I could do was a personalized picture of Cindy that her sister gave to me. I want to say that this was around early or mid 90's? And no, I'm not a fan of gerbils.
