Topic: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

You know how this works. How few actors can you name before you arrive at a movie starring Kevin Bacon...or that has Trey Stokes somewhere on the crew list.

Aside from checking the above link to see Trey's IMDb, no internet use allowed.

The Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes number is the number of people between the actor named and KBOTS, not including either. You wanna go as low as possible. For instance:


Renee Zellweger

1. Jerry Maguire, Tom Cruise

A Few Good Men, Kevin Bacon


That's a good one, with only 1 degree of separation. Could also have gone:


Renee Zellweger

1. Me Myself and Irene, Jim Carrey

2. Bruce Almighty, Morgan Freeman

3. The Shawshank Redemption, Clancy Brown

Starship Troopers, Trey Stokes


On that note, we'll start easy. Daniel Radcliffe.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

Note to self, Bill Pullman is not Jeff Daniels.

1. While you were Sleeping, Sandra Bullock
2. The Vanishing, Kiefer Sutherland
3. A Few Good Men

Not the quickest, but I can't remember any Pullman movies apart from While you were Sleeping and Independence Day.

Next up is Charlie Sheen.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

Wait, does that mean I can be two steps away from Orson Wells due to working on the Muppets? that's just ... my brain just did a slight double take at that.

Better still: since he was the voice of Robin on Magnum PI, it means you're only three steps away from TOM SELLECK.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

Russel Crowe
3:10 To Yuma- Christian Bale
Batman Begins- Morgan Freeman
Wanted- James McAvoy
X-Men First Class- Kevin Bacon

And if you want to continue to Stokes,

Apollo 13- Tom Hanks
The Polar Express- Trey Stokes

However, just to make it hard on myself, here's this game using ONLY DIF episodes.

Russel Crowe
Master and Commander- Paul Bettany
Iron Man- Stan Lee
Spider-Man 2- Alfred Molina
Raiders of the Lost Ark- Harrison Ford
Return of the Jedi- Phil Tippett
Starship Troopers- Trey Stokes

Goodnight everybody.

When.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

I'm breaking the rules for this one but...

Trey Stokes directed Pink Five starring Amy Earhart
Amy Earhart acted in 'Complaints of the Neurotic' directed by David Baker
David Baker is 2nd cousins with Attack of the Show's Grace Helbig
Grace Helbig interviewed ...Kevin Bacon

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

Resurrecting this because I want more Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (and/or Trey Stokes... yes, this sentence is ambiguously structured) in my life. Anyway, Jon Stewart:

1. Death to Smoochy with Robin Williams
2. The Best of Times with Trey Stokes

Or

1. Death to Smoochy with Danny DeVito
2. Throw Momma from The Train with Anne Ramsay
3. Goonies with Josh Brolin
4. Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon


Henry Fonda.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

Henry Fonda

Once Upon A Time In The West - Woody Strode
Spartacus - Stanley Kubrick
Eyes Wide Shut - Tom Cruise
A Few Good Men - Kevin Bacon

[edit: not sure if directors count or not. If not, best I think I can do is

Once Upon A Time In The West - Jason Robards
All The President's Men - Robert Redford
Spy Game - Brad Pitt
Inglourious Basterds - Michael Fassbender
X-Men First Class - Kevin Bacon

There's gotta be a shorter one though.]

And piggy-backing on Trey's answer for Trey:

How The West Was Won - Agnes Moorehead
Citizen Kane - Orson Welles
The Muppet Movie - Michael Earl
Team America - Trey Stokes

And just 'cause I saw The Man Frum UNCLE last night, how about Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant:

1. Cloud Atlas - Tom Hanks
The Polar Express - Trey Stokes

I know TPE has already been used, but hey. Whatcanyado.

And just 'cause I saw Jagten yesterday, how about Mads Mikkelsen.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

I don't know if I ever had a chance to mention this anecdote on the show or not, but a couple years ago I became the Kevin Bacon number singularity — I have a Bacon number of 0. Not 1, 0.

The short version is that I was working on a VFX sequence in his TV show where he should have had a reflection, but didn't, so to get that reverse-pose shape I took a picture of myself and slotted that in. In the shot — and remember, this is on-screen, this is classic championship rules here —  you see Kevin Bacon and his reflection, but I am playing his reflection. I am Kevin Bacon. I am zero degrees of separation away from Kevin Bacon.

Re: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or Trey Stokes

EDIT:  I was wrong....Ben Stiller did NOT have a Cameo in Apollo 13,....apparently I was thinking of Empire of the Sun.  sad sad sad 

This is my false list in italics cuz it doesn't count anymore .... i'll fix it later :'(

Mads Mikkelson:

Casino Royale  - Daniel Craig
Tomb Raider - Angelina Joli
Mr and Mrs Smith - Brad Pitt
Spy Game - Robert Redford
(whatever that Woodward and Bernstien movie was)  - Dustin Hoffman
Meet The Fockers - Ben Stiller
Apollo 13 - Tom Hanks

Boy did this one take me a while!  Okay next one:  Clint Eastwood.

The Good The Bad & The Ugly with Eli Wallach
Mystic River with Kevin Bacon

Or

Unforgiven with Morgan Freeman
Shawshank Redemption with Clancy Brown
Starship Troopers with Trey Stokes
