Yeah, exactly. Like you can connect Flipper (from the 1960's movie) in 3 moves. It's spookie..

Not really. You can have somebody pick a name from any phone book in the USA and you are probably far less than 6 degrees away.
When they first tried this at Stanford(?) the average was about 3.

Consider that you "know" probably 1000 people.
Each one of them know 1000 people.
Each one of them know 1000 people.
That means you are connected to about 1,000,000,000 people in only three degrees.
Obviously some of your thousand overlap with others but the numbers get big real fast.
Even if it's only 100 per group six degrees is 100 ^ 6 which has 12 zeros after the one.
Sadly it won't help with that blonde you saw last night.

Good point, Mike, but that's math and thus not my forte ;) And I already got the blonde, no biggie there.. ;)

Pook, very nicely done!! Now, can anybody beat it??

Creepy... The first person I thought of was Fabrizio Jovine who played the Father in City of The Living Dead and he had a number of 3.

I felt really good about Marni Nixon, the singing voice of the 3 animated geese in MaryPoppins in 1964. Really thought I had it!
Bacon score of 2. I give up...

I tried to run the names of some Norwegian actors, the higest number I got was Finn Bjelke (who's not really an actor) at 4...

Got an "Infinity" out of Tom A. Haug, an actor who's only claim to fame is the Norwegian soap "Hotell Cæsar", but it's wrong, as he has worked with Sossen Krogh in the same series, and she's got a 3.
So no luck on Norwegian actors...

I wonder how far off I am. I played the voice of God in my eight grade (1954) school play and a friend of mine appeared in a movie while in a stroller in the 40's.
While it does not fit the rules I'd bet I'm not to far removed.

My mother used to work for Harold Bergman who played the reverend or Father or whatever towards the end of Cocoon and Mr Bergman has a number of 2... guess that would make me a 4.

This site was featured in our local paper today. I found a couple of fives and many infinities. It is amazing to find even the most obscure chinese actors having Bacon numbers of 3 and 4.
