THE BACON NUMBER!

(1/6) > >>

TheEvilDog:
Alright. Seeing as how the WCDT is getting a little heated, I am blatantly throwing out a distraction for people.
If you go to google, type in a celebrity's name and add to it Bacon Number, google will tell you how many degrees separate that celebrity and Kevin Bacon.
For example, Adrian Brody Bacon Number, resulted in 2 degrees.
Adrian Brody and Mickey Rourke appeared in Bullet.
Mickey Rourke and Kevin Bacon appeared in Diner.


So how about a challenge?
The game is 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon. So how about people try to find more than 6 degrees separating their celebrity of choice and Mr. Bacon?

jwhouk:
Sir Francis Bacon does not have a Bacon number. ;)

TheEvilDog:
Neither does George Bush.
(Funnily enough, Sir Francis Bacon was the second person I tried)

Kugai:
Clint Eastwood's Bacon number is 2
Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep appeared in The Bridges of Madison County.
Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon appeared in The River Wild.

George Bush should have a Bacon Number of three because Michael Moore has a Bacon Number of 2 and Dubya and H Dubya both appear in Michael Moore films.

Of course the system fails because it only considers certain credited systems in things like documentaries and only really looks at acting roles.

A while back there were only 50 people with a Bacon number of 7 or higher although there was a demonstrable 9 on the grounds that someone could only be connected by an 8. However they don't get recognised because the production that they were in doesn't get picked up by the scan. I may be wrong but I suspect that all of those 50 people occupy minor or obscure roles in productions in Eastern Europe, Russia or Asia.
