How do you play the “Kevin Bacon” game?

I personally wouldn't bother but... Take anyone on TV or films, and link anyone they worked with who worked with anyone else until you get to one who worked with Kevin Bacon. The usual maximum needed is 6 people, though you could probably do it just the same with thousands of other people. I do like his films though. May 31 06, 10:23 AM

Its called "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" and the directions are relatively complex and outlined here: The concept is simple, but finding the smallest number of links can be difficult. The way you link an actor with Bacon is like so: Pick a film actor, any film actor. Link the actor you've chosen to Bacon via the movies they've shared with other actors until you end up with Kevin Bacon himself. Here is an example, using Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley was in Change of Habit (1969) with Edward Asner Edward Asner was in JFK (1991) with Kevin Bacon Therefore Elvis Presley has a Bacon number of 2. The game has expanded to become more about linking two film actors than just one actor to Kevin Bacon. The name is still retained, however, because it has been shown that Bacon is a common link member in a chain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon#The_concept May 31 06, 2:49 PM

What do you call the game pieces in Dominoes? In what game do you have taws, bowlers, reelers and monnies? Anyone fancy a game of Colinmaillard? If you do, what are we going to be playing? Is bacon considered red meat?

1 Kevin Bacon Brainteaser There is much more to the multi-talented Kevin Bacon than the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, that links him in up to 6 steps to any other actor.
