Everybody cut Footloose:

Kevin Bacon busted into movies as an ROTC soldier and fraternity pledge in the 1978 comedy National Lampoon's Animal House. Film roles rushed in for the actor after that, as did a Broadway role in The Slab Boys in 1983, which earned him an OBIE Award. which the actor would forever be associated: as rebellious city teen Ren McCormack, who wages war against a small town for banning rock music and dancing, in the 1980s classic Footloose

Six Degrees of:

After Footloose came many mediocre movies for Bacon until Oliver Stone's 1991 historic piece, JFK, in which he played a gay hustler. Then came the 1994 thriller The River Wild, also starring Meryl Streep, which garnered Bacon a Golden Globe nod. Suddenly, the actor found himself in a slew of memorable movies, co-starring with what seemed like everyone in Hollywood: Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks, A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise, and Mystic River with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. In fact Bacon became so prevalent that a game was made about his career entitled "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

For instance, to do Fred MacMurray, you could observe that MacMurray worked with Lee Marvin in El motín del Caine (1954), which is one step; and Marvin worked with Jane Fonda in La tigresa del oeste (1965), which is two steps; and Fonda worked with Jack Lemmon in El síndrome de China (1979). He 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 Theater School. "I wanted life, man, the real thing", he later recalled to Nancy Mills of 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. Bacon's debut in the fraternity comedy 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. He briefly worked on the television soap operas Search for Tomorrow (1979) and Guiding Light (1980–81) in New York. In preparation for his role in Mintiendo en América (1997), he "hung out" in the radio studio with and based his on-air banter on his friend Jerry Blavat.  In Quicksilver (1986) and Cuestión de honor (1992), his characters are both nicknamed "Smiling Jack". In 1998, Bacon played a supporting role in Wild Things (starring Nicolas Cage), of which he was also executive producer. He then went on to star in Stir of Echoes and Hollow Man (with Josh Brolin and Elisabeth Shue).

The Bacon Brothers band:

This celeb makes folk-rock music with his brother Michael Bacon, an Emmy Award-winning composer. Their band, the Bacon Brothers, had released six records by early 2013. This outlet fits Bacon's innovative side in ways acting doesn't. "I don't create the movies I'm in," he told Billboard.com in 2012. "When it comes to music, it's my clothes, it's my guitar, it's my voice, it's my song."

And I was able to keep supporting myself; that always gave me strength. Bacon and Sedgwick have starred together in Pyrates, Murder in the First, The Woodsman, and Loverboy.
