Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon, Weeds Style
(this is a guest post, thanks to Eliza of Tom Cruise Watch)
Isn’t it a wonder how one actor gets parts or knows celebrities and then how they are relate to one another. Lets take a look back into Kevin Bacon’s past and see how he ties himself to a few of the top Showtime Celebrities at the moment.
So let’s play the “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon”. For those that aren’t sure how the game is played, let’s look over at Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise was in “A Few Good Men” with Kevin Bacon, which would mean he’d have a Bacon number of one. However, Nicole Kidman played in “Eyes Wide Shut” with Tom Cruise and Tom Cruise played in “A Few Good Men” with Kevin, which would make her a Bacon 2.
Let the game begin!
Elizbeth Perkins
1. Elizabeth Perkins actually acted in “He Said, She Said,” back in 1991 with Kevin.
Mary Louise Parker
1. Mary Louise Parker played in “The Client” with Tommy Lee Jones.
2. Tommy Lee Jones played “U.S. Marshals” Robert Downey Jr.
3. Robert Downey Jr. played in “Heart and Souls” with Kyra Sedgwick
4. Kyra Sedgwick played in “Lemon Chase” with Kevin Bacon.
Hunter Parish
1. Hunter Parrish was in “Freedom Writers” with Hilary Swank or Patrick Dempsey
2. Hilary Swank was in “The Reaping” with AnnaSophia Robb
3. AnnaSophia Robb was in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” with Johnny Depp
4. Johnny Depp was in “Benny & Joon” with Oliver Platt
5. Oliver Platt was in “Flatliners” with Kevin Bacon.
That was just three of Weeds Characters that we can tie to Kevin Bacon. Can you try it? Here are a few more you may want to tie him with: Kevin Nealon, Justin Kirk, Alexander Gould, etc. I’d love to see your tries in the comments. As you may have noticed, it is easy to tie even the youngest actor/actresses with the older actors in Hollywood, you just have to keep on going back a bit.

I SUCK at this game! I always end up going “and that woman was in that movie with that guy…you know, the one with the horse and the thing…YOU KNOW…the one that OTHER guy was in…”
I’m terrible with names! But it was a great post!!

actually believe it or not they are really simple. All you need to do is know a few people from the movie or show you are beginning and look them up and see who’s in the next movie. Lots of fun, I bet you could pull something off for House. They’ve got some great actors in that one.
