Six degrees to Kevin Bacon
« on: July 22, 2005, 10:59:38 am »

Ever played this? What you need to do is link two actors using only six films/TV shows, one of which must feature Kevin Bacon. Here's an example - Jack Nicholson and Dawn French.


1) Jack Nicholson was in 'A Few Good Men' with Kevin Bacon.


2) Kevin Bacon was in 'Picture Perfect' with Jennifer Aniston.


3) Jennifer Aniston starred in 'Friends', which once guest starred Jeninifer Saunders.


4) Jeninifer Saunders is the comedy partner of Dawn French.


See? And still two steps free! Here's your starter for ten:


Julia Roberts and Judi Dench

Hmm, game doesn't really work if you don't know who he is!  Surprised though...


The game sprung up because although he's very rarely the leadingman, he's a very prolific movie actor, and you can almost forget what films he's been in - which obviously makes the game more interesting. If in doubt, cheat with imdb!
