It all started with a game, played by water-cooler junkies around the nation. “Back to Bacon,” a game that claimed you could trace any actor/actress back to actor Kevin Bacon, was the game to play when you wanted to kill time and have fun while doing it. Now, the actor is putting his own twist on the game. Bacon has founded sixdegrees.org, a charitable website that hopes links charities within their own social networks.
In a written statement, Bacon declares, “SixDegrees.org is about using the idea that we are all connected to accomplish something good… It is my hope that Six Degrees will soon be something more than a game or a gimmick. It will also be a force for good, by bringing a social conscience to social networking.” Bacon’s not alone in this endeavor. Other celebs involved in “Six Degrees” include Kyra Sedgwick, Nicole Kidman, and Robert Duvall.
The site kicks off the opening weekend of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Festivities include a party hosted by Entertainment Weekly.
Yawwwwwwwn! Come on Bags, is that the best you can do? Ok, seriously you almosted got me. Then I remembered, what Link used to do, Voice Over. That was my in so here goes:
Kevin Bacon was in Sleepers with Bruno Kirby. Never heard of him?
Well, Kirby, was in more than one movie. He starred in The Harrad Experiments with Don Johnson. So where am I going with this?
Don Johnson’s little known Voice Over career involved a starring role in G.I. Joe the Movie (I’m sure you’ve heard of it!) where he was the voice of Lieutenant Falcon. And here we have it. As Lt. Falcon he starred opposite –you guessed it — Cobra Commander voiced by Chris Latta!
Next time think twice before you try to stump the likes of Lady iris
Here’s a challenge for you Ms. Iris. trace Kevin Bacon back to COBRA COMMANDER!!!!
