Pryor was in The Toy with Jackie Gleason
Gleason was with Sally Field in Smokey and The Bandit
Field was in Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks was with Kevin Bacon in Apollo 13

You can eliminate the middle ones if you want to go the Hanks in Apollo 13 route: Pryor was in Lost Highway with Robert Loggia, who of course memorably played a giant piano with Hanks in Big.

Or even easier, Pryor appeared in Mad Dog Time with Ellen Barkin, Bacon's co-star in Diner.


But none of that is important. What is important is that you leave the next name, so the game can continue. Since you didn't, let's try...


Alan Bates

Kristin Scott Thomas was in The Walker with Lily Tomlin

Nice. Good job.

Bates was in Gosford Park with Ryan Phillippe
Phillippe was in The Way of the Gun with Benicio Del Toro
Del Toro was in The Usual Suspects with Kevin Spacey
Spacey was in American Beauty with Annette Bening
Benning was in Mars Attacks with Jack Nicholson
Nicholson was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon

Damn. Not quick enough. You guys are good.

Ha, yeah, anytime you start with someone in a Robert Altman movie, you're going to have a lot of notable actors to choose from. Finding a link shouldn't be that hard.

Piper is in the Cheaper by the Dozen flicks with Steve Martin
Bacon has that great cameo at the beginning of Planes, Trains & Automobiles with Steve*
*Bacon also has a cameo-sized role in Novocaine with Martin, as well




And for the record, you guys made that Bates one way harder than it had to be. For one he was in A Prayer for the Dying with Bacon's Diner cohort Mickey Rourke.



NEXT:
Robert Ryan

I guess i'm playing the game wrong. I'm not trying to get it done in least possible steps so much as being creative in the choices so that different flicks are represented.

otherwise its the 6 degrees of the JFK movie half the time.

holden, the harder it is, means it was challenging. thats the fun. its not like theres points awarded or anything.

Yup, you're playing it wrong.

oh wells. gimme a yellow card.

I'll bow out

Yeah, I gotta go with you on this one Dexter. It's not really that hard to find a quick connection to Kevin Bacon--that's why there's a frickin game about it. I think it's more interesting if you get a wider array of actors, directors, and movies involved. The point is to show Bacon's wide reach in movies.

If I always wanted the most straight-forward response, I would go to that website that automatically generates a link in an average of about 2 movies.

Robert Ryan was in Billy Budd with Terence Stamp.
Terence Stamp was in Superman II with Gene Hackman.
Gene Hackman was in The Firm with Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

NEXT: James Dean
