== Acting career ==
{{main|Kevin Bacon filmography}}

=== Early work ===
Bacon left home at age 17 to pursue a theater career in New York City, where he appeared in a production at the [[Circle in the Square|Circle in the Square Theater School]]. "I wanted life, man, the real thing", he later recalled to [[Nancy Mills]] of ''[[Cosmopolitan (magazine)|Cosmopolitan]]''. "The message I got was 'The arts are it. Business is the devil's work. Art and creative expression are next to godliness.' Combine that with an immense ego and you wind up with an actor."<ref name="cosmo91">''Cosmopolitan''. March 1991, p. 92.</ref>
Bacon's debut in the [[fraternities and sororities|fraternity]] comedy ''[[Animal House|National Lampoon's Animal House]]'' (1978) did not lead to the fame he had sought, and Bacon returned to waiting tables and auditioning for small roles in theater.<ref name="bacon">{{cite web|title=Kevin Bacon: 6 Things You Didn't Know|url=http://www.biography.com/news/kevin-bacon-biography-facts|publisher=biography.com|access-date=October 12, 2014|archive-date=April 3, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403203113/https://www.biography.com/news/kevin-bacon-biography-facts|url-status=dead}}</ref> He briefly worked on the television soap operas ''[[Search for Tomorrow]]'' (1979) and ''[[Guiding Light]]'' (1980–81) in New York.

=== 1980s ===
In 1980, he appeared in the slasher film [[Friday the 13th (1980 film)|''Friday the 13th'']].<ref>{{cite web|title=Happy Halloween: Stars who got their start in horror flicks|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/happy-halloween-superstars-start-horror-flick-gallery-1.98345|publisher=nydailynews.com|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> Some of his early-stage work included ''[[Getting Out]]'', performed at New York's [[Phoenix Theater]], and ''[[Flux]]'', at [[Second Stage Theatre]] during their 1981–1982 season.<ref name="bio">{{cite web|title=Kevin Bacon|url=https://www.pbs.org/wnet/finding-your-roots/profiles/kevin-bacon%C2%A0/|publisher=pbs.org|access-date=October 12, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160530033240/http://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/profiles/kevin-bacon%c2%a0/ |archive-date=May 30, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1982, he won an [[Obie Award]] for his role in ''[[Forty Deuce]]'',<ref name="kevin">{{cite magazine|title=Kevin Bacon biography|url=http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/kevin-bacon/bio/160550|magazine=TV Guide|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> and soon afterward he made his Broadway debut in ''[[Slab Boys]]'', with then-unknowns [[Sean Penn]] and [[Val Kilmer]]. However, it was not until he portrayed Timothy Fenwick that same year in [[Barry Levinson]]'s film ''[[Diner (1982 film)|Diner]]''{{spaced ndash}}costarring [[Steve Guttenberg]], [[Daniel Stern (actor)|Daniel Stern]], [[Mickey Rourke]], [[Tim Daly]], and [[Ellen Barkin]]{{spaced ndash}}that he made an indelible impression on film critics and moviegoers alike.<ref>{{cite web|title=Diner' 30th Anniversary: 25 Things You Didn't Know About The Guys-and-Fries Classic|url=http://news.moviefone.com/2012/03/02/diner-30th-anniversary/|publisher=moviefone|access-date=October 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141021030336/http://news.moviefone.com/2012/03/02/diner-30th-anniversary/|archive-date=October 21, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Bolstered by the attention garnered by his performance in ''Diner'', Bacon starred in ''[[Footloose (1984 film)|Footloose]]'' (1984).<ref name="bio"/> Richard Corliss of ''TIME'' likened ''Footloose'' to the [[James Dean]] classic ''[[Rebel Without a Cause]]'' and the old [[Mickey Rooney]]/[[Judy Garland]] musicals, commenting that the film includes "motifs on book burning, mid-life crisis, AWOL parents, fatal car crashes, drug enforcement, and Bible Belt vigilantism."<ref name="time84">{{cite magazine|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,950019,00.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080830035710/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,950019,00.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 30, 2008|title=Revel Without a Cause|author=Richard Corliss|magazine=TIME|date=February 20, 1984}}</ref> To prepare for the role, Bacon enrolled at a high school as a transfer student named "Ren McCormick" and studied teenagers before leaving in the middle of the day.<ref name="bacon"/><ref>{{cite news|title=Kevin Bacon Got Bullied By High Schoolers While Prepping For 'Footloose'|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/25/kevin-bacon-footloose_n_5710413.html|access-date=October 10, 2014|publisher=huffington post}}</ref> Bacon earned strong reviews for ''Footloose''.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/522:492/1/Kevin_Bacon.htm |title=Kevin Bacon |publisher=Biography Channel |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090109152125/http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/522%3A492/1/Kevin_Bacon.htm |archive-date=January 9, 2009 }}</ref>
Bacon's critical and box office success led to a period of [[typecasting (acting)|typecasting]] in roles similar to the two he portrayed in ''Diner'' and ''Footloose'', and he had difficulty shaking this on-screen image. For the next several years he chose films that cast him against either type and experienced, by his own estimation, a career slump.

After a cameo in [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]]'s 1987 comedy ''[[Planes, Trains and Automobiles]]'',<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cormier |first1=Roger |title=15 Moving Facts About 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' |url=https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/71594/14-moving-facts-about-planes-trains-and-automobiles |access-date=December 9, 2022 |work=Mental Floss |date=November 22, 2017}}</ref> Bacon starred in John Hughes's 1988 comedy ''[[She's Having a Baby]]'',<ref name="bio"/> and the following year he was in another comedy called ''[[The Big Picture (1989 film)|The Big Picture]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=A Second Wind Is Blowing For Kevin Bacon|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/25/movies/a-second-wind-is-blowing-for-kevin-bacon.html|work=new york times|access-date=October 12, 2014|date=September 25, 1994}}</ref>

=== 1990s ===
In 1990, Bacon had two successful roles. He played a character who saved his town from under-the-earth "graboid" monsters in the comedy/horror film ''[[Tremors (1990 film)|Tremors]]'',<ref>{{cite news|title=Tremors Review|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9C0CE2DE1631F93AA25752C0A966958260|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=October 12, 2014|date= January 19, 1990|author=Vincent Canby}}</ref> and he portrayed an earnest medical student experimenting with death in [[Joel Schumacher]]'s ''[[Flatliners]]''.<ref name="bio"/>

In Bacon's next project he starred opposite [[Elizabeth Perkins]] in ''[[He Said, She Said (film)|He Said, She Said]]''. Despite lukewarm reviews and low audience turnout, ''He Said, She Said'' was illuminating for Bacon. Required to play a character with sexist attitudes, he admitted that the role was not that large a stretch for him.<ref name="bio"/>

By 1991, Bacon began to give up the idea of playing leading men in big-budget films and to remake himself as a character actor. "The only way I was going to be able to work on 'A' projects with really 'A' directors was if I wasn't the guy who was starring", he confided to ''[[The New York Times]]'' writer Trip Gabriel. "You can't afford to set up a $40&nbsp;million movie if you don't have your star."<ref name="nyt94">{{cite news|title=A Second Wind Is Blowing For Kevin Bacon|author=Trip Gabriel|work=The New York Times|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C07E6D91F3BF936A1575AC0A962958260 |date=September 25, 1994}}</ref> He performed that year as gay prostitute Willie O'Keefe in [[Oliver Stone]]'s ''[[JFK (film)|JFK]]''<ref>{{cite web|title=Kevin Bacon|url=http://www.jfk-online.com/jfkbacon.html|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> and went on to play a prosecuting attorney in the military courtroom drama ''[[A Few Good Men (film)|A Few Good Men]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=A few good men|url=https://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/143158|publisher=tcm|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> Later that year he returned to the theater to play in ''Spike Heels'', directed by [[Michael Greif]].<ref name="bio" />

In 1994, Bacon earned a [[Golden Globe Award|Golden Globe]] nomination for his role in ''[[The River Wild]]'',<ref name="bio"/> opposite [[Meryl Streep]]. He described the film to Chase in ''Cosmopolitan'' as a "grueling shoot", in which "every one of us fell out of the boat at one point or another and had to be saved".

His next film, ''[[Murder in the First (film)|Murder in the First]]'', earned him the Broadcast Film Critic's Association Award in 1995,<ref name="bio"/> the same year that he starred in the [[blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster]] hit ''[[Apollo 13 (film)|Apollo 13]]''.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kevin Bacon Reprises His Roles from FOOTLOOSE, A FEW GOOD MEN, APOLLO 13, and More in UK Commercials|date=February 28, 2014 |url=http://collider.com/kevin-bacon-commercials-footloose/|publisher=collider|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> Bacon played a trademark dark role once again in ''[[Sleepers (film)|Sleepers]]'' (1996).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ebert|first1=Roger|title=Sleepers|url=http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/sleepers-1996|access-date=October 12, 2014}}</ref> This part starkly contrasted with his appearance in the lighthearted romantic comedy, ''[[Picture Perfect (1997 film)|Picture Perfect]]'' (1997).<ref name="bio" />

In 2003, Bacon acted with [[Sean Penn]] and [[Tim Robbins]] in [[Clint Eastwood]]'s movie ''[[Mystic River (film)|Mystic River]]''.

== Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon ==
{{Main|Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon}}
Bacon is the subject of the [[trivia]] game titled "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon", based on the idea that, due to his prolific [[Big screen|screen]] career covering a diverse range of genres, any Hollywood actor can be linked to another in a handful of steps based on their association with Bacon. The name of the game derives from the idea of [[six degrees of separation]]. Initially, Bacon was dismayed by the game but the [[Internet meme|meme]] stuck; eventually, he embraced it, forming the charitable initiative [[SixDegrees.org]], a [[social networking service]] intended to link people and charities to each other.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sixdegrees.org/ |title=Six Degrees |access-date=January 2, 2008}}</ref>

The measure of proximity to Bacon has been mathematically formalized as the [[Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon|Bacon number]] and can be referenced at websites including Oracle of Bacon, which is in turn based upon Wikipedia data (and formerly from [[IMDb|Internet Movie Database]] data). In 2012, Google added a feature to their search engine, whereby searching for an actor's name followed by the words "Bacon Number" will show the ways in which that actor is connected to Kevin Bacon.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.webmonkey.com/2012/09/easter-egg-google-connects-the-dots-for-bacon-number-search/|title=Easter Egg: Google Connects the Dots for 'Bacon Number' Search|work=webmonkey|date=September 13, 2012|first=Scott|last=Gilbertson|access-date=September 13, 2012}}</ref> This feature is no longer active.

A similar measurement exists in the mathematics community, where one measures how far one is removed from co-writing a mathematical paper with the prolific and itinerant mathematician [[Paul Erdős]]. This is done by means of the [[Erdős number]], which is 0 for [[Paul Erdős]] himself, 1 for someone who co-wrote an article with him, 2 for someone who co-wrote with someone who co-wrote with him, etc. People have combined the Bacon number and the [[Erdős number]] to form the [[Erdős–Bacon number]], which is the sum of the two.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/4768389/And-the-winner-tonight-is.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121112081753/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/4768389/And-the-winner-tonight-is.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=November 12, 2012 |title=And the winner tonight is |newspaper=Telegraph |date=May 1, 2002 |access-date=May 17, 2014}}</ref>
