    Found one that didn't work - Samuli Edelmann (Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol). It should be 2 considering he starred with Tom Cruise who is a 1 himself.

    Highest I found is Choi Min-sik from Oldboy (3)

    I got annoyed with this. With Choi Min-sik, I decided search his Korean co-stars hoping that if he was a 3, one of them would at least be a 4. However, they all seemed to star with a western actor in at least one other movie meaning they were all either 3 or 2. Then I stumbled across a 4!

    Jeon Mi-seon and Oh Yun-hong appeared in Love Is a Crazy Thing.
    Oh Yun-hong and Kim Hye-su appeared in A Good Day to Have an Affair.
    Kim Hye-su and Aida Turturro appeared in Too Tired to Die.
    Aida Turturro and Kevin Bacon appeared in Sleepers.

    Some equally unproductive work colleagues of mine discovered a number of 4s. There's Tim Tebow, Phil Hellmuth, Howard Lederer and a few other professional poker players who made some sort of cameo somewhere.

    Pope Benedict is a 3 ffs!

    Scored a 5 with Terry Wogan and James May!! :D

    "Terry Wogan and Anatoly Karpov appeared in Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine.
    Anatoly Karpov and Fernando Arrabal appeared in The Great Chess Movie.
    Fernando Arrabal and Jean Rochefort appeared in Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo?.
    Jean Rochefort and Blanche Baker appeared in French Postcards.
    Blanche Baker and Kevin Bacon appeared in Taking Chance."

    "James May and Richard Hammond appeared in Top Gear Apocalypse.
    Richard Hammond and Jackie Stewart appeared in Hammond Meets Moss.
    Jackie Stewart and Stacy Keach appeared in The Quick and the Dead.
    Stacy Keach and Lori Singer appeared in Sunset Grill.
    Lori Singer and Kevin Bacon appeared in Footloose."


    Most other ones I've tried are 2.

    What a wild coincidence.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,741 ✭✭✭Mousewar


    Yeah, I don't think it was to do with doing that search. Just incredibly coincidental timing.

    James May isn't technically an actor but surely if he was counted there would be a much shorter route to Kevin Bacon regarding appearing in the same episodes as many of the 'Star in the reasonably priced car' segments. Don't think the search works on everything. But for the most part it's impossible. Can't get more than 3 myself with Noel Fielding...

    That's not that surprising, since he's never appeared in any movie. If you include TV shows, his Bacon number is 2

    mary mcevoy - no bacon number. I can quit now.

    The first post in this thread would indicate otherwise
    Put any actors name in google followed by "bacon" and "number" and google will calculate the six degrees. allegedly a score higher than 4 is rare.

    Miley from glenroe's bacon number is 2.

    Miley was played by Mick Lally..... Not anyway proud that I know that!

    Got a 3 with Gerardo taracena from Apocalypto, was sure I was on to a winner there!
