Kevin Bacon is a name you will hear not because breakfast is being served, but because he has been a film actor since the 1970s. Known for being in a lot of famous films, but seldom the lead role, unfortunately. [[Ensemble Darkhorse|This may make him even more famous.]] Doesn't stop [[Last
His first role was in ''[[Animal House]]'', as the source of the quote "Thank you sir, may I have another?" According to an interview on the film's DVD release, he wasn't able to get into the premiere with the other actors because no one recognized him as a cast member.

* ''[[Frost Nixon|Frost/Nixon]]''
* ''[[Hollow Man]]''
Line 44:
* [[He Really Can Act]]: Proved this in ''[[The Woodsman]]'' if not earlier.
* [[I Am Not Leonard Nimoy]]/ [[I Am Not Spock]]: A rare case where both are averted. He's had some famous parts but none of them have been so iconic that it eclipsed the man's career and likewise he plays so many types of characters so well that you buy him in each part and don't just see Kevin Bacon. However, on the DVD commentary for Footloose, Bacon noted that when attending weddings or other DJ'd social events, he'd have to slip the DJ $20 to avoid having to dance for the partygoers.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]
* [[Male Frontal Nudity]]: In ''[[Wild Things]]''.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: A few wrinkles and bags under his eyes aside, he still looks damn good for a man in his fifties.
