Kevin Bacon

Kevin Bacon was born on 8th July, 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Kevin Bacon left home at the age of 18 and studied acting in New York City's Manning Street Actor's Theater and the Circle-in-the-Square.

Rarely can it be said that an actor is so recognized and of such prominence that a game can be played by connecting him to just about any other celebrity simply through referencing his resume.

Kelvin Bacon's early training as an actor came from The Manning Street debut as the strict Chip Diller in Animal House (1978) almost seems like an inside joke, but he managed to escape almost unnoticed from that role. It was the film Footloose (1984) that broke Bacon's career wide open. His turn as a rebellious, dance-happy teen who defies a small town's no-dancing ordinance scored big at the box office.

Kevin Bacon is married to actress Kyra Sedgwick on 3rd September, 1988 and has 2 children.
