6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

    Colucci My buddies call me Chris.

    Since there's alot of movie-type threads lately (and since I'm busy pretending to work), I had to start this classic.

    As we all know, Kevin Bacon is absolute center of the Hollywood universe, and every single actor currently working can (supposedly) be traced back to co-starring with Kevin Bacon in some film.

    So, someone can post a challenge by naming an actor. Someone else must respond, by listing the series of actors connecting the "challenge" to Kevin Bacon, and then that person posts a new challenge. (Let's use living actors or actresses only, using dead actors is the next level, which we don't need to deal with right now)

    For example, if the challenge was: Burt Reynolds.

    Burt Reynolds was in Striptease with Demi Moore. Demi Moore was in A few Good Men with...Kevin Bacon. That was super-easy (only 2 steps to K.B.), but you cannot name more than 6 (six) actors in your chain to Mr. Bacon. Oh, and don't be a spoilsport and run to imdb. Give it a fair try.

    So, my challenge is: Charlie Sheen. Who's got it?? :D
