Almost every actor in Hollywood is 6 Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon, so it would make sense that his dog would be an equally good thespian as the actor himself. In this home video obtained by Funny or Die, we see his pup play dead and he does it better than any canine ever has. Seriously I really believed that man best’s friend had crossed over to Rainbow Bridge. He did a better job than most of the actors I have seen on one of those CSI and Law & Order episodes.
Last week Footloose and came out and thankfully barely anyone saw it. Well now that it is week two someone very important saw it and that person is Ren McCormack himself. That’s right Kevin Bacon wasted money on the remake and here is what he said about it, “F-Loose! Just saw it. Congrats to Craig, Kenny, Julianne, Dennis,Andie, Miles, and the rest of the cast. U guys rocked it!” He is a bigger man than me because like most moviegoers, I refuse to give this remake any of my hard earned money.
Could you imagine Footloose without Kevin Bacon? Well according the actor, who is six degrees from every actor in Hollywood, that was almost the case. He told Details magazine, “Craig Zadan, one of the producers on both films (referring to the sh!tty remake that’s coming out in the fall), actually found my screen test in a vault and sent it to me. What had been going on back then was the producers and the director wanted me, but the head of the studio famously said, ‘He’s just not fuckable.’ So they went and did their own screen test. Watching it, I got a chance to see this kid with this hunger and ambition and energy. There were parts of myself that I didn’t even recognize. You could just see that I was going to fuckin’ go in there and kill it.” Thankfully he nailed the screen test because he is the only actor that I could ever see playing Ren McCormack.
BTW according to Rob Lowe’s must read autobiography Stories I Only Tell My Friends, he auditioned for the role, but he blew his knew and the audition when he attempted that infamous slide that Bacon perfected!
Before Kevin Bacon was saying, “Thank you sir, may I have another” role, he was saying it in Animal House. He hasn’t aged a day since he was 19 in that 1978 classic movie.

Kevin Bacon and his wife of 22 years, Kyra Sedgwick went to a NY Knicks game and he tried his hardest not to look at the cheerleaders, but it didn’t work. I wonder if the man that every actor in Hollywood is six degrees of separation from is going to get the third degree from his wife over it? For some reason I doubt it because they seem very much in love and this won’t be a Closer on their relationship.
