Kevin Bacon Game - How Close Are You?

[NiTessine]

Well...

1. My uncle's wife's sister's son (not my cousin - not a blood relation) plays in an English symphony orchestra that recorded the music for the soundtrack of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

2. Stuart Townsend, who played Dorian Gray in LXG, was in Trapped with Kevin Bacon.

Surprising, for someone who's never been outside Europe.

Two guys on my college football team were in the movie Rudy.
Sean Astin was Rudy.
Sean Astin was in White Water Summer (1987) with Kevin Bacon.

Not sure how the steps work, but I think I am at two.

My brother-in-law was an extra in Toy Soldiers with Sean Astin.
Sean Astin was in White Water Summer with Kevin Bacon.

1. My housemate's brother has a house in upstate New York.
2. Said house is next door to Kevin Bacon's brother's house.
3. My housemate's brother (invited by Kevin Bacon's brother) visited the Bacon house late one night with a gaggle of friends...
4. ...who unknowingly stumbled upon and woke the visiting Mr. & Mrs. Kevin Bacon...
5. ...who were not pleased!

I'm at three.

My cousin is married to Dennis Hopper.
Dennis Hopper was in Welcome to Hollywood (2000) with Laurence Fishburne.
Laurence Fishburne was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon.

 

[Mark]

I was an extra in Hoffa with John C. Reilly
John C. Reilly was in The River Wild with Kevin Bacon

Incidentally, She's Having a Baby is an excellent film to know for this game due to the large number of cameo appearances.

I'm at three.

No, you're at four.

Piratecat -1-> cousin -2-> Hopper -3-> Fishburne -4-> Bacon.

Rephrase your chain to cut your cousin out, then you're at three.

For example, "I have a cousin, and my cousin is married to Dennis Hopper" is a two-link chain, but "I had a barbeque the other day with Dennis Hopper" is a one-link chain between you and Dennis.

I'm sure you must have an I-shook-Dennis-Hopper's-hand story somewhere that can bypass your cousin altogether?

-Hyp.

Beat this, suckers. One step.

I saw JFK, which starred Kevin Bacon.

Bam!

 

[Frostmarrow]

I went to see Henry Rollins live on a Spoken Word Tour. He was in Dogtown and Z-boys with Sean Penn. Sean Penn was in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

I don't know if that counts - I mean I just went to see an entertainer on stage, albeit live. Still, after the show Mr Rollins nearly bumped into me whilst hurrying back to his hotel. :|

my college professor and mentor knew harrison ford as a child. (her mom and his mom were friends, she lived in the apartment building directly above his).

so i'm sure that gets me pretty close to all the hollywood stars as far as seperation is concerned.

i've got it:

tleilaxu knows (1) college professor, who grew up with (2)harrison ford, who was in 2000 Blockbuster Entertainment Awards with (3) kevin bacon
