Ok.

For those who don't know the rules: the theory is that any actor can be linked to Kevin Bacon within 6 films or less. For example,

I'll start with Brian Blessed to Kevin Bacon

Brian Blessed to Charlton Heston -Hamlet

Charlton Heston to
Helena Bonham Carter -Planet of The Apes 2001

Helena Bomham Carter to Kevin Bacon -Novocaine

-------------------------
Now try:

Eddie Griffin to Kevin Bacon

Michael,

Just to take the fun right out of it......

The Oracle of Bacon

And the oracle says....

Brian Blessed was in Tarzan (1999) with Minnie Driver
Minnie Driver was in Sleepers (1996) with Kevin Bacon

Eddie Griffin was in Armageddon (1998) with Keith David
Keith David was in Novocaine (2001) with Kevin Bacon

Sorry to spoil the fun.....

The real fun is trying to find someone with a high linkage number above 3 or 4......

Sorry Mate..

The Oracle says: Hassan Nebhan has a Bacon number of 7.

Hassan Nebhan was in Roozi khe zan shodam (2000) with Norieh Mahigiran
Norieh Mahigiran was in Ghesse haye kish (1999) with Atefeh Razavi
Atefeh Razavi was in Nargess (1992) with Farimah Farjami
Farimah Farjami was in Madar (1991) with Mohamad Ali Keshavarz
Mohamad Ali Keshavarz was in Caravans (1978) with Anthony Quinn
Anthony Quinn was in Last Action Hero (1993) with Colleen Camp
Colleen Camp was in Trapped (2002) with Kevin Bacon

ha!

I believe the theory goes that everyone can be linked to everyone else in this manner, in 6 degrees or less. The oracle site gets fun, when you try to link silent movie stars to flavor-of-the-day newbies. It's often surprising.

Humphry Bogart to Steve Martin in dead men don't wear plaid
