Sorry, just came back to this thread and saw your question. I was an extra in _The Avengers_ and have a little screen time but do not appear in the credits.

Brattleboro, Vermont recently tried to lure Kevin Bacon for Baconfest. They fell short, but that’s OK: [http://abcnews.go.com/Weird/wireStory/vermont-town-hopes-kevin-bacon-attend-3rd-baconfest-42029805](http://abcnews.go.com/Weird/wireStory/vermont-town-hopes-kevin-bacon-attend-3rd-baconfest-42029805)

Apparently my Bacon number is 2. My ex, one daughter and I were extras in the movie, _[Lonely Hearts](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0441774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1)_. Both Laura Dern and Scott Caan are Bacon 1’s.

Kevin, if you’re reading this, I expect to be on your Christmas card list this year.

I have a Bacon number of 3, once officially and at least once unofficially. I worked on a commercial starring Slash, who was in _Private Parts_ with Nicholas Wyman, who was in _Planes, Trains, & Automobiles_ with Kevin Bacon. And I met Peter Falk, who was in _The Thing About My Folks_ with Elizabeth Perkins, who costarred with Kevin Bacon in _He Said, She Said_.

ETA: Sorry, about the linklessness, I’m feeling lazy today. Besides, you’ve got fingers, you can Google!

You do have fingers, don’t you?
