Has anyone seen the original Footloose? Well, Kevin Bacon was in that movie and just over 70 others (according to the ever trusty and awesome Internet Movie Database). But, something that you might hear is 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. What is that?Basically, that is the notion that pretty much every actor in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon through movies that both have been in. For instance:
You get the idea. Now, it used to be that people would try to figure out these connections on their own, but now with the trusty help of Google, you can figure out any actor's "Bacon Number" by typing it into Google after an actor's or actress's name. (Hence Johnny Depp's Bacon Number is 2, and I got that by typing "Johnny Depp Bacon Number" into Google).
If you don't know too much about Kevin Bacon, this might seem like an exercise in futility. But, I challenge you to find any actor that appears on Google's list that is more than a 4, even a 3, Bacon Number. Good luck and have fun (btw this is really fun with some crazy friends lol).
