Bacon number

[Dasota]

You have a Bacon number of at least 5 MoonCat! Robin Williams has a Bacon Number of 2, my Aunt and Uncle were extras in What Dreams May Come (3) Me! (4) You! (5)

[TruthHurts]

1) My cousin was in the Perfect Tenant with Maxwell Caulfield

2) Maxwell Caulfield was in Empire Records with Robin Tunney

3) Robin Tunney was in the Craft with Neve Campbell

4) Neve Campbell starred with Kevin Bacon in Wild Things.


I guess that makes my Bacon number a 4

I have had several beers with Cheech Marin in Key West.

I honestly can't think of anything cooler.

My sister's boyfriend threw Nicolas cage out of a bar once.

That gives me four then.

[ParkingWitch]

I've got Bacon number of 3 two ways

I had Barry Williams as a customer at work.
Barry Williams was in The 6th Annual TV Land Awards (2008) (TV)
with Steve Carell was in Animal House: The Inside Story (2008) (TV)
with Kevin Bacon

And I was holding the door at local bar The Omni when Eminem got tossed.
Eminem was in Funny People (2009) with Michael Patrick Breen
was in Frost/Nixon (2008) with Kevin Bacon

1) My aunt met Paul Scofield
2) Paul Scofield was in Hamlet with Helena Bonham Carter
3) Helena Bonham Carter was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon

So my number is 4

[dalesys]

My ex claims my bacon number is -1...


I'm worse than a pig.

[cinema guy]

My brother peed standing next to Ian McKellen. That makes mine 4 by the most tenuous of reasons.

[auntiem]

My number is 2
I was in a scene (as an extra) with Matthew Modine who was in Pacific Heights with Guy Boyd who was in Only When I Laugh with Kevin Bacon

Wouldn't that be 3?

3) Helena Bonham Carter was in Novocaine with Kevin Bacon

So my number is 4

Considering the thread topic, I think it would be appropriate to point out that many scholars believe that Shakespeare's plays were actually written by Sir Francis Bacon.

That would make Sir Francis Bacon a 4...

No, that's not right. Sir Francis Bacon was played by Donald Crisp in the 1939 movie "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex", who appeared with Betsy Palmer in the 1955 movie "The Long Gray Line", who appeared with Kevin Bacon in the 1980 movie "Friday the 13th". Sir Francis is a 3.

(Yes, I got that out of a book.)

Nope. Your cousin's Bacon number is 4. Yours is therefore 5.

My number is 2
I was in a scene (as an extra) with Matthew Modine who was in Pacific Heights with Guy Boyd who was in Only When I Laugh with Kevin Bacon

That makes your number 3, not 2. Modine's would be 2, Boyd's would be 1.

I honestly can't think of anything cooler.

I can. But then again, my life is pretty damn cool all around. (And by the way, yes, Cheech is a very cool dude.)

[auntiem]

Wouldn't that be 3?

You are right - I read the oracle wrong - Matthew Modine is a 2 - I'm a 3.

[Quillsilver]

Okay...I honestly thought the number would be higher...heh.

I met Bruce Campbell (he made fun of my hubby and gave me an autograph...lol).
Bruce was in Spider-Man.
Mark De Allesandro was one of the stuntmen in Spider-Man.
He was also a stunt double in Super, with Kevin Bacon.

So I get a 3? Weird.
