Default Bacon Numbers

Six degrees of separation is the hypothesis that anyone on Earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries.
In other words, I know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows YOU. Obvioulsy it could be less than six...
Based upon this hypothesis, students at Virginia Universty, devised a Game called Bacon numbers .
Basically a Bacon number is the number of actors seperating an actor from Kevin Bacon in the shortest possible link... for example

Alfred Hitchcock was in Show Business at War (1943) with Orson Welles, and
Orson Welles was in A Safe Place (1971) with Jack Nicholson, and
Jack Nicholson was in A Few Good Men (1992) with Kevin Bacon!
Therefore, Alfred Hitchcock has a Bacon number of 3.

Soooo.... based on all of this...

Name as many Actors as you can with a Bacon number of 3 or higher...

I will give 25 Tokens for each Actor with a Bacon number of 3
50 Tokens for an Actor with a Bacon Number of 4
and 100 Tokens for an Actor with a Bacon Number of 5 or above....

Competition runs until the end of November...

I will use this website The Oracle Of Bacon as a reference...

Good Luck and happy Bacon Hunting....

To err is human. To ARRR is pirate.
