Bacon's near-ubiquitous presence on screen may have given rise to the " Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, but it also proved that he was a talented and capable performer.īacon remains busy as ever in his fourth decade on-screen: he gained an Emmy nomination and Golden Globe as a Marine who escorts a fallen soldier's remains home in "Taking Chance," and drew critical praise for starring turns in the episodic series "Following," "I Love Dick" (which earned a Golden Globe nod) and "City on a Hill." He's also still busy in features, including " X-Men: First Class," "Patriots Day," and "You Should Have Left," and also enjoys a long-running music career as one-half of the Bacon Brothers with his sibling, Michael.
