e.g. Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy - William Shatner (Star Trek: Wrath of Khan) 1st degree
William Shatner - Patrick Stewart (Star Trek: Generations) 2nd degree
Patrick Stewart - James McAvoy (X-Men: Days of Future Past) 3rd degree
James McAvoy - Kevin Bacon (X-Men: First Class) 4th degree

Ready... Go!

Alan Alda

The first to post a solution in 6 degrees or less provides the next name.

    2 or 3.... Not sure. While in college I performed with Branford Marsalis who was the first band leader for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show who had Kevin Bacon on as a guest. Just not sure if Branford was still music leader at the time.

    It's supposed be a connection by being in the same movie.

    Saying two people were on the same show at different times is cheating. It's like claiming a connection between The Beatles and Elvis Presley just because they both did The Ed Sullivan Show 8 years apart.

    Saying two people were on the same show at different times is cheating. It's like claiming a connection between The Beatles and Elvis Presley just because they both did The Ed Sullivan Show 8 years apart.

    But it's not cheating. According to IMDB, they were both regular hosts of the show. Jerry Lewis being a host from 1950-1955 and Lou Costello being a host from 1951-1955, so the overlapping times suggest they were on the show together. It's more like SNL regular cast members than saying they were both on Ed Sullivan at some point.
    Unless you say being in a TV show together doesn't count, it is a connection.

    Game is kind of ruined. Thread should have been posted in the Games forum, but the chucklehead above who posted that link to The Oracle of Bacon ruined it, as intended.

    6 degrees of Bacon should probably be changed to something new with a younger actor/actress, like 6 degrees of JLaw
