Google's Bacon Number

[Bobble]

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been posted here before but if you type in "bacon number" and your favorite actor into Google, it'll return that actor's Bacon Number -- how many degrees they are from Kevin Bacon.

Just try to find someone who has a Bacon Number higher than 3...:popcorn:

[Kodos]

Natalie Portman is 2.

[Bobble]

Natalie Portman is 2.

Her Bacon Number is a 2. SHE'S a solid 7 or 8. Could be higher but elbows too pointy.

It's amazing how many people have a bacon number of 2 when you wouldn't expect it. Errol Flynn, Alfred Hitchcock to name two I just tried.

[LastWhiteSoxFanStanding]

Charlie Chaplin got a 2. I put in Kirk Cameron. He got a 2!

[Ronnie Dobbs3]

Should be six degree of Harvey Keitel http://oracleofbacon.org/center.php

'bacon number Hatcher Flaschen' brings back no bacon number.

HE BROKE THE GOOGLES!

But the Oracle of Bacon website gives him a BN of 2.

Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, and Ronald Reagan are also all 2.

Though the Reagan one is kind of cheating:


Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford appeared in Greatest Presidents of the United States.
Gerald Ford and Kevin Bacon appeared in Frost/Nixon.

Natalie Portman is 2.

Google has this listed for Natalie:

Natalie Portman (https://www.google.com/search?q=natalie+portman) and Mila Kunis (https://www.google.com/search?q=mila+kunis) appeared in Black Swan (https://www.google.com/search?q=black+swan+movie).
Mila Kunis (https://www.google.com/search?q=mila+kunis) and Kevin Bacon (https://www.google.com/search?q=kevin+bacon) appeared in G4 Presents Comic Con 2012 Live (https://www.google.com/search?q=g4+presents+comic+con+2012+live).

THAT DOESN'T F***ing COUNT!

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of movies that RR was in that give him a number of 2.

Google seems to take some liberty with their bacon numbers.

Adolf Hitler is a 2, as is Ronald Reagan.

Apparently appearing in a clip that wasn't filmed for that movie is enough to count as a BN connection.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of movies that RR was in that give him a number of 2.

True, looking now, he was active longer than I thought, all through the 50s, so that's a ton of actors that would have still been floating around by the time Bacon came around....and he had a little comeback in 1964 in a movie that had a lot of big names, one of whom probably crossed paths with Bacon.

[ColtCrazy]

The google one cheats a little bit.

Mary Pickford's number for Google is 2 because her and Whoopi Goldberg were both in a documentary about Pickford.

Oracle has Pickford's number at 3, which is much more legit.

Harpo Marx is a 3. Even D.W. Griffith is a 3.

[JonInMiddleGA]

Aaron Paul - 2
Jonathan Banks - 2
Dean Norris - 2
Bob Odenkirk - 2
Bryan Cranston - 2
Anna Gunn - 2
Betsy Brandt - 2
Giancarlo Esposito - 2
Raymond Cruz - 2

I think Bacon must be into meth

[Blackadar]

I think I got to 4 with Brandon Lee.

[sabotai]

Buster Keaton is a 2. Eli Wallach narrated a documentary in 2004 which included clips from Buster Keaton.

To repeat what others have said: THAT DOES NOT COUNT!

[Matthean]

I tried to go off the wall. Sasha Grey is a 2.

[molson]

It's kind of interesting how even the silent era actors are only 2 or 3 away. I guess the rest of the world realized this phenomenon (which I'm sure applies to hundreds of actors) 15 years ago, I've just never played around with one of these things.

[EagleFan]

Ron Jeremy is 2.

[EagleFan]

Lee Harvey Oswald has a 2.

[EagleFan]

John Wilkes Booth is a 5. :)

[Neon_Chaos]

Einstein is a 3

[Neon_Chaos]

William Rufus Shafter returns a magnificent 7.

[ColtCrazy]

Anne Sellors has a Bacon number of infinity!

[MrBug708]

Tim Tebow is a 4

[Matthean]

Tim Tebow is a 4

Also more yards than he can throw for.
