Most of you sorry braggarts are playing the Kevin Bacon game wrong
It's not enough to have met someone or gone to school with someone. If it's not on film, it doesn't exist.

So.


What's your real Bacon number?

Mine is 3.

I appeared in an episode of Amazing America hosted by the congenitally unfunny Kevin Nealon.

Kevin Nealon was in Anger Management with Jack Nicholson.

Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon!

1. Actually... I think I can still make mine work
I was indeed taped w/ my boss (classroom video), who was in Love Story w/ Tommy Lee Jones, who was in JFK w/ Kevin Bacon.

2. See? That's how you do it!
Incidentally, while messing around with The Oracle of Bacon, I learned that Laurence Olivier is only two degrees separated from Jenna Jameson.

Now that would have been a movie!

5. Cool, that way, I'm 2 degrees:

I appeared in a Discovery Channel show about the JFK assassination. Kevin Bacon was with JFK in JFK.

B-)

4. I disagree
I find Kevin Nealon funny, especially his role as Doug Wilson on Weeds.

Now to your point did I do it right? I met someone that was on film. If not since I've never been on film I can't connect myself to Kevin Bacon.

6. Yeah...mine's still one or two.
I've been background on-camera for my former roommate who has been on screen with Bacon.

And no, no citations. I'm a privacy whore. It's why I left the film industry...I don't want fame, fortune or attention.

7. Well, I think I can still do it.
I (1) was briefly in a camera shot in a news story for Channel 13 WJZ news in Baltimore, which was hosted at that time by a newscaster by the name of Richard Sher (2). Richard Sher used to co-anchor WJZ news with one Oprah Winfrey. (3) Oprah Winfrey was in the movie Native Son with Matt Dillon. (4) Matt Dillon was in Loverboy with.....Kevin Bacon.

Is that better?

8. My number is 2 - or is it 1?
Edited on Wed Nov-18-09 10:28 AM by blogslut
I was an extra in a television film entitled Sunshine Christmas - directed by Glenn Jordan

Glenn Jordan directed Kevin Bacon in the Neil Simon/Marsha Mason vehicle Only When I Laugh/

11. That's a 2
If you'd actually appeared with Bacon, that would be a 1.

10. In that case, I have no Bacon number.
But, the other thread did ask for poster's degree of separation from Kevin Bacon.

And, that still stands, for me, at 2.

13. I can do it, but it's a stretch.
As a teenager I was shown in the studio audience of local Cleveland show called Academic Challenge hosted by Cleveland personality Don Webster.

Don Webster hosted another local Cleveland show called Upbeat, a rock and roll revue in which Art Garfunkel performed.

Art Garfunkel was in Carnal Knowledge with Jack Nicholson.

Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

:eyes:

16. I was interviewed in a documentary film
by a fairly well-known producer.

He must certainly have a fairly low Bacon number, likely 2, so mine is most probably 3.

18. hmm, not sure
My wife went to a concert at the UN where Kevin Bacon and his band performed, I'm not sure it was filmed, but she does have pictures, and my wife and I make movies every day....:evilgrin: So does this count?
