    The trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is based on a variation of the concept of the small world phenomenon and states that any actor can be linked through his or her film roles to actor Kevin Bacon. The game requires a group of players to try to connect any film actor in history to Kevin Bacon as quickly as possible and in as few links as possible.

    First The Rock Dwayne Johnson

    The Rock - The Game Plan - Kyra Sedgwick
    Kyra Sedgwick - The Woodsman - Kevin Bacon

    BTW she is also married to Kevin Bacon

    next try Robert Redford
