The Kevin Bacon game is based on the concept of 6 degrees of separation. The premise is that you can link any actor to Kevin Bacon (presumably because of the volume of work) in six steps or less. For instance if you wanted to link Robert De Niro to Kevin Bacon you could go.

1.Robert Deniro to Harvey Keitel in the Taxi driver.
2.Harvey Keitel to Jon Voight in National Treasure.
3.Jon Voight to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible.
4.Tom Cruise to Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men.

It gets really interesting if you can come up with some obscure stars.

I think the best way to play this game as a group would be to take turns linking actors and see how long it takes us to get to Kevin Bacon. If your post does link to Kevin Bacon, then you can post the next actor we will start with. How does that sound?

To start out, I will pick Tom Hanks.

Now the next person will link Tom Hanks to another actor he worked with and say what they were in together. Let's see how this works out! :)

David Dail No problem just remember it's got to be in six links. Why don't you pick the next star.
