The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

[-Azrael666-]

If you have no idea how this is played, shame on you. The idea is that every actor or actress can be connected to Kevin Bacon within six degrees, as he is the center of the entertainment universe. The way it is played is one person gives an actor/actress name, and someone else figures out how they are connected to Kevin Bacon, and in how many degrees. Then they submit a new person.

If the current actor/actress hasn't been connected yet, don't submit a new person. This is a legitimate game, and true experts can link any actor/actress to Kevin Bacon within six degrees. Here is an example:

I say "Bela Lugosi." Your response could be:

1. Bela Lugosi was in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) with Vincent Price.

2. Vincent Price was in The Raven (1963) with Jack Nicholson.

3. Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men (1992) with Kevin Bacon.

Therefore, Bela Lugosi's degree number is 3.

and then you would submit your own actor/actress. It can be any actor or actress, you don't even need to figure out if they are possible to do first or not. They are.

Make sure your answer is correct before answering. If it is correct, submit your own actor/actress to replace the one you figured out. Also, if you can figure out a previously answered actor/actress in a smaller degree number, by all means feel free to point it out and post the updated one.

I'll make the first submission.. find the degree number of Edward Norton.

Now for the new person I pick.. hmm.. Chris Titus (You know, from the show Titus.. he was in a movie though My favorite B Movie of all time )

 

[Hot Action Akule]

theres a site that shows the average of the most easily connected actor. I think it was like 2.34 for kevin bacon, and the next highest was 2.56 or something.
