So, my wife, Ladyshark, had a slow day at work today… she spent a good deal of time waiting for customers to come in to the store. Meanwhile, she and her co-workers were chatting about a sales competition that was held held over the Christmas. One of the girls had one the “Top Gun” for Canon camera sales which won her a quick $200. Cool.
Of course, as group conversation go sometimes, they kept going off on tangents, from camera sales, to Top Gun the movie, to Tom Cruise, to Scientology… and eventually somehow made it to Kevin Bacon. And, of course, once the conversation hits Kevin Bacon, the conversation invariably leads to at least some mention of the game Six Degrees of Separation.
Well, today, one of Ladyshark’s other co-workers was wondering if she could possibly be within six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. So, they hopped onto IMDB and started searching. Turns out she was! She was exactly six degree away.
Here’s the path: She knows Ladyshark, Ladyshark is married to me, I was in a movie (Touch & Go) with Ellen Page, Ellen Page was in X-Men: The Last Stand with Kelsey Grammer, and Kevin Bacon appeared on Frasier.
How cool is that?!?
So, anyone who knows my wife in person, is six degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon! Anyone who knows me is five! I’m only four! Crazy!
I know, I know… big deal.
Still, it was a fun little thing to discover today.

So do I count?? 🙂 That's really cool. I play Six Degrees… all the time.
Ha ha. Awesome. I'm five degrees away from Mr. Bacon. You know, you can totally see his penis in Wild Things. I'm sure you were dying to know that. :PI need more gay friends.
Who cares about Kevin Bacon, that means you and Ladyshark are less than six degrees of separation away from Patrick Stewart!!!! *melt*
Found your blog while exploring. Interesting subject. I'm four degrees from singer/songwriter Paul Simon. I know someone whose friend sang background vocals for Paul on a few of his albums.
that is pretty cool… so does that make the the whole vox neighborhood count?
Totally!
You are too funny. You can see it-ish in the pool in Hollow Man too. Gay enough for ya? ;^P
Of course, Sem, that means you’re only four degrees of separation from your hunky Captain too!
Ooo… Paul Simon is a good one to be connected to.
Absolutely!
ha ha. You'll never be gay enough for me. ;P
hmmm what I'm excited about is you being in a movie with Ellen Page! Can I consider myself as knowing you so I can say I'm only, what? two degrees from the wonderful actress Ellen Page? And now I plan on watching the movie. Which character do you play and are you in other films?
lol! or the fact that he's 3 degrees away from the ENTIRE x-men cast (you'll have to pardon my geekiness over x-men as a whole).my god… the be 3 degrees away from hugh jackman AND Famke Janssen (aka jean grey). neither of them would i kick out of bed. 🙂
