My mom went to school with Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates has a Bacon # of 2, so I guess I'm 3? Or maybe 4.

4?

me
my MIL
MIL's cousin was in No Country for Old Men with Tommy Lee Jones
Tommy Lee Jones was in JFK with Bacon.

Interestingly, I could have done that a bit differently. I could have gone mom -> mom's neighbor -> mom's neighbor in NCFOM w/ TLJ -> TLJ in JFK.

When my wife and I were doing wedding invitations we noticed the same person was invited from my mom and her mom. We called to figure it out and my MiL's cousin was actually my mom's next door neighbor.

Amazing, I really wonder if you tallied up everyone with a Bacon number of 4 or lower, you wouldn't get close to the actual population of US.

I have absolutely zero distant Hollywood connections that I know of. So my bacon number I will just go with the default 7 degrees of separation.

Let's say the average person knows, even in passing, 200 people.

200 x 200 x 200 x 200 is 1.6 billion people you would be affiliated with in 4 degrees. And given most people would have a bias in that number towards more local people, it's very likely most Americans would be 4 or less.

Well, nevermind that Bacon has been in, per Google, 64 movies. And he had to have worked with at LEAST 50+ new people on each one of those.

That right there is 3k+ people who have worked with Kevin Bacon, let alone met him.

You can skip Fassbender and link JLaw straight to Bacon.

I think my cousin was in a movie with Kevin bacon, making me 2. If he wasn't, he was in legally blonde II with Luke Wilson, who was in a movie with Bacon, so my number is 3.

So I'm a 2 or a 3. My cousin was an extra in a lot of movies, so he's not in the oracle of bacon database.

1. College roommate

2. His buddy from HS moved to Hollywood after college and has in name in several films, typically as a gopher for the cast. I've lost touch w/him over the years but we used to exchange emails periodically because he kept encouraging me to flesh out an idea I had for a movie.

3. KB or

3. 1 person removed from #2 on the list if he hasn't personally worked w/KB which would put KB at 4.

That's awesome that you worked with Sean Astin.


Well I met Matt Damon. It was the scene that he was by the pool.

But Matt is 3 and Sean is two. So….. .

Sean had already filmed his scenes.
