You are all mistaken. I am Kevin Bacon. Just look at my Doper name: _All Love Bacon’s Ass_ If you don’t yet, just watch any of my great movies where I walk around naked. Kidding aside. Tremors was the first movie I remember Bacon in. Awesome movie. ---

Despicable in that Sean Astin camp out movie, in “Sleepers,” and “Frost-Nixon.” Great appearance in “Will and Grace.” ---

Does being an extra count? If so, I was in a movie with John Vernon, which gives me a Bacon number of 2. I wasn’t in a scene with him, but I did manage some screen time. ---

No one has yet mentioned “Wild Things” or the great cameo on “Mad About You”. Kevin Bacon Rocks. ---

Forgetting the requirement that Bacon numbers are calculated based on being an actor (I’m not), my Bacon number is 2 because I’ve met Kevin Bacon’s niece. Can anyone here top that? ---

Mine is probably also 2 since I have met Mel Gibson. I can’t imagine the two of them haven’t run into each other at some party or awards ceremony.
