This is a game where you take an actor, and connect them through starring roles to Kevin Bacon - in no more than 6 steps!

For example: Meat Loaf (not really an actor, but he has been in things)

Meat Loaf-Tim Curry (Rocky Horror Picture Show)
Tim Curry-Tom Cruise (Legend)
Tom Cruise-Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Mission: Impossible 3)
Phillip Seymour Hoffman-Meryl Streep (Doubt)
Meryl Streep-Kevin Bacon (The River Wild)

So, one person suggests an actor, and the person who gets it suggests another!

Here's another: Richard Gere

Deleted post for being spoilsport.

I see the Xander Berkley connection, but isn't that a bit weak? I mean, he was barely in A Few Good Men.

I think it's better if it's a fairly big star in each connection, either first or second lead in the film

Awww, don't do that.

Richard Gere-John C. Reilly (Chicago)
John C. Reilly-Kevin Bacon (The River Wild)

Although I guess this game would probably be better irl, where people can't instantly look stuff up. Ah well.

Gervais-Jennifer Garner (Invention of Lying)
Garner-Michael Clark Duncan (Daredevil)
Clark Duncan- Tom Hanks (Green Mile)
Hanks-Kevin Bacon (Apollo 13)

Clark Duncan isn't really a lead though.
