 What's your Bacon number? According to the Oracle of Bacon, I have 3 degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. http://oracleofbacon.org/index.php  _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Re: What's your Bacon number? This would work with just about anyone. They use such small crew members for linking him to films.

Re: What's your Bacon number? Mine would be a legit 4.
Me -> My Uncle (He knows the Sparks family) -> Jordin Sparks -> Omari Hardwick -> Kevin Bacon

Re: What's your Bacon number? I have interviewed James McAvoy, who co-starred with Bacon in X-Men: First Class. I guess that's the closest I get. I also interviewed Jason Blum, whose 6 Miranda Drive will star Kevin Bacon, so I guess they must have met already. And I interviewed Ron Howard - didn't Kevin Bacon star in Apollo 13?

Re: What's your Bacon number? I met Caprice, who was in Hollywood Files with Brad Renfro, who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon. Mine is a 2.

Re: What's your Bacon number? I've not met many famous people.  I've only met Caprice, Terry Wogan, Gabby Roslin and Jon Sleightholme. Four "names" that are pretty much nothing to anyone in the world apart from British people old enough to remember them. I want to at least have some stories about meeting a celebrity when am older. Oh oh oh, I met Anthony Head in my local supermarket where I worked. He was with his daughter. But still, not exactly a world class name. You've all met so many famous people. I'm slightly envious. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Tits We had our photo taken with her and I sat right next to her. All of my classmates were afraid to go near her, but I sat right next to her and put my arm around her. I was like a boss back then. Everyone thought I was awesome. I just wanted to touch such a beautiful person. _________________STOP UIGHUR GENOCIDE IN XINJIANG

Re: What's your Bacon number? I've met John Landis who directed Animal House where Kevin Bacon has a bit part.
And I'm 11cm taller than Gerhard Schröder.

Re: What's your Bacon number? I thought a Bacon number had to be more than just "meet" someone, but it had to be someone you knew well enough that they knew who you were too. If it's just "meet" then maybe I can get closer.  _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com

Re: What's your Bacon number? On which film did you work with him?
Are you on IMDB?

Re: What's your Bacon number? An episode of The Following. It was actually pretty cool, he recognized me from when I interviewed him an his brother for his band. It was really cool actually, he remembered me specifically for what had said about Tremors, and another person wasn't doing the two lines right, and asked me if I would do them.
I am on IMDB, but haven't updated in about 3 years. It's more of waste a time after a while.

Re: What's your Bacon number? Could you provide me with a link? or would you care to list the major things you've been in?
I'd love to have an IMDB page. If I had one, I'd update it whenever I did some work. I suppose because of your relative obscurity, nobody else will update it if you don't, unlike Brad Pitt, for example.

Re: What's your Bacon number? IMDB is mostly like Wikipedia, but it's usually agents or publicists that will do it. If you are more starting out, you submit your credit and then once you are checked out they will approve the update. Trust me it's awesome the first time you do it, but after a while it's lame or maybe that is me. I'm lazy I guess but it has never done anything for me or anyone else I know that acts. Anyone can have an IMDB page.

Re: What's your Bacon number? Sure, anyone can have one, but not anyone can have a meaningful IMDB page. Can you share a link or are you too shy? Why even have one if you don't want people to see it?

Just meeting doesn't really work. Oh, OK. My closest connection is Aimee Mann, who I went to high school with and who used to come and watch my band and so on. I never worked with her but if she saw me, she'd know me. As opposed to, say, Micky Dolenz or Bob Geldof, who I met once but wouldn't know me from anyone else. _________________Buy my books! http://michaelaventrella.com
