Hey, I have a Bacon number of three, also.
I used to work with Lea Thompson’s sister. The Oracle says: Lea Thompson has a Bacon number of two. Lea Thompson was in Article 99 (1992) with Keith David. Keith David was in Novocaine (2001) with Kevin Bacon.
I too have a bacon # of 3. I once took some photos of actress Heather Prete, she was in The Secret (2000) with Lusia Strus, Lusia Strus was in Stir of Echoes (1999) with Kevin Bacon.
He was in a low-budget indie film with Noble Willingham called The Corn Dog Man. (Don’t ask. You can rent it in Blockbuster. Horrible!) Noble Willingham was in City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly’s Gold (1994) with Pruitt Taylor Vince. Pruitt Taylor Vince was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon.
So, in a 6 degrees of Separation kind of thing, I am 4 people away from Kevin Bacon.
I’ve never been in any movies or TV shows, and I can’t remember the names of any of the professional singers in any of the operas I was in (as a supernumerary - like an extra in movies), so you have to allow me to use family relationships.
My wife is Debbie Reynolds’ first cousin, and Debbie Reynolds has a Bacon number of 2. I guess that gives me a Bacon number of 4, unless I have to count the steps through my wife’s mother to her brother to his daughter (D. R.).
Using a much more tenous relationship, I can get a Bacon number of 3. Albert Brooks has a Bacon number of 2. He co-wrote, directed, and starred in a movie called Lost in America. Although the IMDb doesn’t say so, a few of the exteriors were shot in the town of Safford, Arizona, including a city limit sign or other highway sign identifying the town. Safford is the town where I lived from 1950 to 1966. (No, I don’t think it would be fair for everyone who lives in New York or LA to give themselves a low Bacon number, but Safford only has a population of about 5,000, so that should count, right?)
I should have previewed, so that I would have seen FairyChatMom’s post. If “met” counts, I have met Debbie Reynolds, and that gives me a Bacon number of 3.
Last semester, I took a class taught, in part, by Harrison Schmitt.
Harrison Schmitt was in For All Mankind (1989) with Jim Lovell
Jim Lovell was in Apollo 13 (1995) with Kevin Bacon
Every way that I can think to do it, I come up with a 4.
My cousin is friends with Kevin Spacey, Mare Winningham, and Val Kilmer, each of them have a #2 rating.
I am a friend of a friend to a couple of people who know Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Dian Bachar, who all were in BASEketball with someone who also starred in Hollow Man with Mr. Bacon.
I am sure there is some way that I could lower my number, but it’s not immediately coming to mind.
My other(breakfast) bacon number is somewhere in the infinate range.
If I’m figuring this right, I have a Bacon Number of 2. The dotcom I used to work for sponsored his brief musical career with his brother whatshisname. While the Bacon Brothers were on tour, most of the staff met them. I didn’t, but I was still directly associated with the people who financed their US tour and distributed their CD.
I have a Bacon number of 2 through several different actors. My number may be even smaller if you count film crew (my SO works in film and I know that we know people who’ve worked with him.)… I’ll keep you updated if the number goes down…
