Connect YOURSELF through "Celebrities You Have Met" to the center of the movie universe-- Kevin Bacon.

Example: When I was living in NYC and moving furniture for a living I delivered a reupholstered armchair to actor Treat Williams. Williams starred in "Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead" with Andy Garcia. Andy Garcia starred in "The Untouchables" with Kevin Coster. Coster starred in JFK with KEVIN BACON. 4 connections, I'm 4 degrees away from Bacon. You have to do it in 6 degrees or less.

I've met other celebrities so there may be other routes for me to bring home the Bacon.

If you need help check out the "Oracle of Bacon" website.

The Oracle says: Doug McKeon has a Bacon number of 2.

When I was in HS I went to see an all star cast of Grease at Ball State University in IN. Doug McKeon (bratty grandson of Henry Fonda in On Golden Pond) was staying at the same hotel.

So here is my connection (ps thanks for the oracle site couldnt have done it without it!)

Doug McKeon was in Sub Down (1997) with Tony Plana
Tony Plana was in JFK (1991) with Kevin Bacon

Pauly Shore wandered into the hotel bar where my friend and I were having a drink (we were actually trying to spot some guys from a band the name of which now escapes me) in his underwear. My friend chatted with him for several minutes while I enjoyed a major "I-carried-the-watermelons" moment, but I still count it as a brush with fame.

The Oracle says: Pauly Shore has a Bacon number of 2.

Pauly Shore was in You'll Never Wiez in This Town Again (2003) with Clint Howard
Clint Howard was in My Dog Skip (2000) with Kevin Bacon

If that doesn't count, how 'bout this: a friend used my house as a location for a film he produced/directed. Clint Howard was in the film and I met him (very nice BTW). As said before, he was in My Dog Skip with Kevin Bacon.

In 1985 I was at one of my favorite local clubs, "Merlins" for lip synch . It was packed, wall to wall people and we were dancing and cheering. The guy dancing and grooving next to me was :Vincent Irizarry, at that time he was Lujak on Guiding light and was missing/ presumed dead on the show. We got to hang out and talk. I didn't have an ink pen, so he gave me his autograph on a napkin with brown eyeliner. I still have it!

The Oracle says: Vincent Irizarry has a Bacon number of 2.

Vincent Irizarry was in Heartbreak Ridge (1986) with J.C. Quinn
J.C. Quinn was in Digging to China (1998) with Kevin Bacon

I met Kevin Bacon years ago in Arkansas when he was filming End of the Line. Just shook his hand but he seemed to be very nice.

My brother-in-law is an actor and has been in loads of films. His name is Brett Rice (remember that, he'll hit big soon we hope). He has an Oracle score of 2 because he was in Monster with Pruitt Taylor Vince who was in Trapped with KB. Also Brett was in Forest Gump with Tom Hanks who was in Apollo 13 with KB. Also, Brett was in Remember the Titans with Denzel who was in Fallen with Elias Koteas who was in Novaine with KB. :cool2:

I gave him a book I had just finnished writing and he ask me to join him for dinner(trust me it was an experience).He gave me his body-guards jacket.

Got another one!

When Michael Jordan was playing baseball--we met him in the Publix supermarket. He was staying here (Sarasota FL)--not anywhere near my house! LOL
He was ok but his bodyguards were rude. They said he was too busy to give my 3 kids autographs ( he did shake their hands) however a group of other kids (different race) got to go up right after us and shake hands and get autographs. Needless to say I was PO'd!
anyway:

The Oracle says: Michael (I) Jordan has a Bacon number of 2.

Michael (I) Jordan was in Michael Jordan to the Max (2000) with Bill (I) Murray
Bill (I) Murray was in Wild Things (1998) with Kevin Bacon

I sort of met Jonathan Silverman (of "The Single Guy" & "Weekend at Bernie's") after seeing him in Brighton Beach Memoirs on Broadway. Jonathan Silverman has a Bacon number of 2. He was in The Medicine Show (2001) with Greg Grunberg, who was in Hollow Man (2000) with Kevin Bacon. That gives me a number of 3. (But does it count even if I met him 14 years before he acquired his Bacon number?!)
