The guy who played Niedermeyer also starred in two Twisted Sister videos in the 1980's, so there's a reference point between Animal House and Seinfeld.

So now we can include Twisted Sister and Seinfeld in the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game.

Thanks Linda. Nope. No animosity towards the previous poster. His post just didn't answer my question. (But yours did.)

You see, I'm a TV person, not a movie person. I doubt I could name 2 movies that Kevin Bacon has appeared in. [email] (Hammer nail here--> <-- for a new monitor.)

count. Jerry Seinfeld once did an episode with Cortney Cox, who stars in "Friends" with Jennifer Aniston, who has a brand new movie coming out with Kevin Bacon! Before this, I don't know if he had a connection, but he's had enough celebrity guests that there probably was one somewhere.

No, the connection is Mark Metcalf, the maestro, played Niedermeyer, the ROTC Nazi in Animal House (the movie). Kevin Bacon had an early acting part as one of the frat goon thugs who beat up Tim Matheson. I don't believe he even speaks ... just glares a lot. Hence, the Seinfeld connection. Not sure if it's five degrees of separation, though...

ICF

Of course, we also have:

Jerry Seinfeld was in an episode with Mark Metcalf, who starred in "Animal House" with Kevin Bacon.

Or:

Jerry appears with Michael Richards on Seinfeld, who appeared on Mad About You With Paul Reiser, who appeared on Mad About You with Kevin Bacon.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus was in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" with Juliette Lewis, who was in "Kalifornia" with Brad Pitt, who was in "Sleepers" with Kevin Bacon.

shows

with

he's

"Sleepers"

Listen, people!!!

Jerry went on a date with Teri Hatcher, who was in a movie with Kevin Bacon called "The Big Picture."

Mike

with

an easier connection is this --- Jerry did the episode with the Maestro who was in "animal House" with Kevin Bacon

go-segaJAF2335

or make one with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who was wife to Billy Crystal in Father's Day, who hosted the Billy Crystal Show in the early '80's and had Jerry Seinfeld on the Billy Crystal Show, who did an episode on Seinfeld with the Maestro who was in "animal house" with Kevin Bacon. Now you can skip Billy Crystal and just go on to Jerry himself, but that made it more fun

Once you take into account two movies: Diner and JFK, you can link Kevin Bacon with any actor that lived past 1980 within six links.

Ex: George Burns George Burns was in The Sunshine Boys with Walter Matthau Walter Matthau was in everything with Jack Lemmon. Jack Lemmon was in My Fellow Americans with Wilford Brimley. Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon With Steve Guttenberg. Steve Guttenberg was in Diner with Kevin Bacon.

If anyone doubts this, e-mail me a challenge.

Give it up. It's boring. It also works with any two actors currently working. (maybe eight links)

Thanks, Steve

Actually you can cut out the last few steps because Walter Matthau made an appearance in JFK with Kevin Bacon. I got a challenge for you-Herve Villacheez.

And in response to an earlier post in this thread. Kevin Bacon did have lines in Animal House. One line I know of for sure is when he's getting initiated into the frat and they spank him with a paddle. He says "Thank you sir. May I have another".

Rachel

Kevin Bacon also said, "Remain calm. All is well." In one of the final scenes

Herve's easy: 1. Herve was in Man with the Golden Gun with Roger Moore. 2. Roger Moore was in For Your Eyes Only with Christopher Walken. 3. Christopher Walken was in At Close Range with both Penn Brothers (Sean and Christopher) 4. Sean Penn was in Taps with Tom Cruise 5. Tom Cruise was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

If my Tom Cruise cite of A Few Good Men was wrong (which I am not sure of...) there are dozens of other connections from Tom Cruise to Kevin Bacon.

Wierd, isn't it. ANd that does not take any television into account.

Thanks, Steve

Very good but once again you went a few steps too far. Chris Penn was in Footloose with Kevin Bacon. Ok how about Perry Farrell?

Rachel

Perry Farrell has done movies?

OK - Here we go if you include TV.

Perry was in an MTV video with Howard Stern.

Howard Stern was in Private Parts with Richard Portnow.

Richard Portnow was in Good Morning Vietnam with Robin Williams

Robin Williams was in Awakenings with Robert DeNiro

Deniro was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.

Kevin tends to be in movies with lots of fairly well known people in them. He also tends to work alot more than other actors (smaller ego I guess)

Try Klaus Kinski

Thanks, STeve

here's a challenge, Kevin Bacon to Spalding Gray (i know it and it's at the end of this). in less than 6 steps. 3, exactly. the Roger Ebert website is very helpful for this.
