  • A Conversation With Kevin Bacon

    Very few actors have had as diverse and prolific a career as Kevin Bacon. His films are a part of our public consciousness. From his roles in Animal House and Diner to Mystic River and The Woodsman, Bacons willingness to take risks and push his craft have resulted in a very powerful body of work. He shares his experiences in the world of acting and filmmaking from the perspective of someone who has enjoyed rare longevity in an industry always looking for the next new thing.

    His ability to continue learning and growing after so many years in the business is a testament to his skills as an artist. A musician as well, he has successfully pursued that aspect of his talent by performing with his brother in their popular group, The Bacon Brothers.

    Loaded with insight and humor, a conversation with Kevin Bacon is a very special and unforgettable experience indeed. (Not to mention the fact that you would totally win the next time you played Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon!)

  • Six Degrees: From Cultural Sensation To Action

    Chances are good that at some point youve participated in a round of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. A trivia game that swept through college campuses and has lived on to become a shorthand term for the small world phenomenon, its premise is that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon in six steps or less. While Bacon himself did not invent the game, he came to the realization that it wasnt going away.

    Seeing an opportunity to help make a positive impact, he formed SixDegrees.org, a social networking site with a social conscience. Started with the nonprofit Network for Good, SixDegrees.org is about using this idea to accomplish something productive. It connects people with over one million worthy organizations, helping them support their favorite charities online. He believes that everyone, in their own way, can have a positive impact, and he shares his experiences with you.

    Bacon says, If you take me out of it, the actual idea that we are connected by six degrees of separation, that we all climbed out of the same swamp, is kind of a beautiful one. If we thought about that a little bit more, we would live in a different world.
