The 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon Game

[skyler_m]

Alright Movie Buffs! There was a request to get Kevin Bacon involved in the other "6 degrees" game. I'm going to propose a new game specifically for it. Here's how it goes.

One person will start. They will choose an actor/actress to be linked to Kevin Bacon. They will also make the first connection and put a (1) next to it. The next person will make the next connection and put a (2) next to it. The idea is to link the originally named actor to Kevin Bacon in 6 movie links. The person that makes the final connection begins the next actor to connect. Make sense? If not, here's an example...

Kevin Costner

Kevin Costner was in Tin Cup with Cheech Marin (1)

next person
(link to Kevin Costner)
Cheech Marin was in Pauly with Jay Mohr (2)

next person
(link to Kevin Costner)
Jay Mohr was in Picture Perfect with Kevin Bacon (3)

Then that last person picks the new actor/actress.

Please don't choose an actor/actress that was in a movie with Kevin Bacon as the starting point. Too easy. :D
