6 degrees of Kevin Bacon

hetshup

Wanna play? In case you don't know. You have to link an actor/actress to Kevin Bacon in 6 move or less. No using IMdb or google. Just use your brains.


I'll start with a easy one: Brad Pitt

FYI- I got Hillary Duff on my own and made H angry, he thought he got me.


LET'S PLAY!

Susan Sarandon?? I don't know if I'm playing this right.

ETA: To explain my answer. Susan Sarandon was married to that actor who starred in Mystic River with Kevin Bacon.

Elle1036

I can do this one.

Brad Pitt starred in Ocean's Eleven with Julia Roberts... who starred with Kevin Bacon in Flatliners.

Did I win?

You're just supposed to find a link from the actor mentioned to Kevin Bacon.  It can range from simple (like if I said "Tom Hanks", you could get it in one move:  Tom Hanks starred with Kevin Bacon in Apollo 13") to more complex, but it can't be more than 6 moves.

Ooooh, ok.  Willem Dafoe was in Spider man with Tobey Macguire... who was in Cider House Rules with Charlize Theron...  who did a movie with Kevin Bacon at some point, but I can't remember what.

I just realized I'm dumb, and Brad Pitt is IN Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. *Slap my face*

Ok, John Goodman

John Goodman may take me a while.  I'll come back if I think of it.

Are you sure? I think he is in the TV show but I didn't think he was in the movie....weird! I was going more with Christoper Lloyd is in BTTF 2 and 3 with Elizabeth Shue who is in Hollow Man (awful movie ps!) with Kevin Bacon. Was trying to throw out an obscure one :)

hetshup

Hmmm. I didn't know there was a TV show. Maybe.

He was also in One flew over the Cuckcos's (wow, spelling much?) Nest with jack Nickelson who was also in A Few Good Men.

And Luv, you would have to link Susan Sarandon through her movies, not personal life. But she was in that baseball movie with Tim Robbins

Edit: Bull Durham

oceana919

1) Christopher Lloyd is not in Tremors. I think you're thinking of Fred Ward.

As for John Goodman...

John Goodman was in Arachnaphobia with Bill Pullman, who was in Independence Day with Will Smith, who was in Hancock with Charlize Theron, who was in Trapped...with Kevin Bacon.

BOOYAH.

New one - Alexander Skaarsgard. Annnnnnnnnnnd go.

Trapped!  That was it!  I knew they co-starred in something.

Cackle6

So this might be stretching it because it includes TV, but Ima gonna do it anways

John Goodman was in the West Wing with Martin Sheen, who was in the Departed with Matt Damon, who was in Oceans 11 with Brad Pitt, who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. 

oceana919

Screw it, I'm answering my own damn question because I've been going crazy trying to figure out if there were actually 6 degrees between them...

Alexander Skarsgard is on True Blood with Anna Paquin, who was in Jane Eyre with William Hurt, who was in A.I. with Jude Law, who was in All The King's Men with Sean Penn, who was in Mystic River with...Kevin Bacon.

Cackle6

Damn, I was beat! Sorry, must have been typing at the same time Oceana was, heh.

Ocean- Do Hillary Duff

bsidebella

Oooh my friends and I used to play this all the time, only we'd call it 6 Degrees of Rent ...you had to connect a celebrity with one of the original Broadway cast members of Rent (Jesse L. Martin, Taye Diggs, Idina Menzel, Adam Pascal, Anthony Rapp, Freddi Walker, Wilson Heredia, and Daphne Rubin Vega). 

Also, with another group of friends, we'd play 6 Degrees of Tarantino. You had to connect a celebrity with anyone who's starred in a Tarantino movie. 

We're a bit weird.

I'm terrible at movie trivia.  But I can name random "stars".
