I found one level 5 and several level 4. Not bad. I think I'm going to continue until I hit the Hall of Fame (level 7 or 8). This is very addictive!

I found an infinity( no links), and it was a very famous actor...Leslie Nielson!

I just looked at the site a little further. They have something similar with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Elvis Presley. And there's also a "Custom Oracle", that is, you could theoretically use it with any other actor.

We could try the Oracle of Stewart. Or the Oracle of Frakes......

Leslie Nielsen was in Nuts (1987) with Nicole Burdette
Nicole Burdette was in Digging to China (1998) with Kevin Bacon

You have to spell it correctly. :-)

Chuck Conners is an infinity.

I found several infinities and several of 5 already. I tried to track down other links through those, but I had no success.

TSN:
"The Oracle says: Leslie Nielson has a Kevin Bacon number of infinity.

Leslie Nielson cannot be linked to Kevin Bacon using only feature films."

Which Leslie is the one in Naked Gun, Nielsen? If so, who is Leslie Nielson? I tried ask Jeeves but roughly half of the sites about films like Spy Hard, Naked Gun etc have Nielson instead of Nielsen.

Ah... Apparently, Leslie Nielson is a real actor. He's only been in one TV episode and one movie, though...

Leslie Nielsen is the famous comic actor who starred in such films as Airplane! and the "Naked Gun" series...

Leslie Nielsen(son?) got his start with such excellent films as Forbidden Planet, actually.

Ah, yes... I have a tendency to type <i> and </i> for pretty much any tag. It's the one I use the most, so my hands automatically type it... *L*

Posted by Xentrick (Member # 64) on :

yeah, but who here is connected to Kevin Bacon?

I'm linked to him by only 5 degrees of separation.

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

I'm 4 degrees from Mr. Bacon.

I'm sure Shik is no more than 2, due to some camp thing here or there...

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Funny you should mention that...

My friend Dave's dad is a kiddie magician. He did a show once & Kevin Bacon happened to be there. Said he was a really nice guy until he (the dad) fucked up,. See, he's a sci-fi & fantasy geek....& so when he meets Kevin, what does he say? "I really loved that movie you did, 'Tremors!'"

Kevin's face visibly fell & he hid in the kitchen for the rest of the day.

That's OK...my friends all laugh because according to IMDb, I played the role of "Bumpy" in the original "Shaft."

As far as I know, not counting this board, I am completely unconnected to Mr. Bacon, or indeed to any actor.

I have a friend who plays in a Dutch movie. When I look him up he's got a Bacon level of 4. So that gives me a level of 5.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

I can't believe we've gotten this far without one:

Mmm...Bacon.

I have now corrected this oversight. Please carry on.

3? That's low! In what movie does your friend/family play?

Well, uh, I met Will Friedle once. That's about all I'm going by. Although his father is our family lawyer.
