Kevin Bacon

Kevin Bacon danced into America’ hearts with his breakout role in the 1984 movie Footloose but before he laced up his dancing shoes, Bacon got his start on the soaps. For a year, the Philadelphia native played Tim “TJ” Werner on “Guiding Light” before turning to the silver screen to star in over 30 films. Because of his extensive acting career that spans into numerous genres, Bacon is the focus of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, a trivia game that links Hollywood actors to each other based on Bacon’s movies. Bacon currently stars in Fox’s “The Following.”
