I’m just two steps away from Kevin Bacon.
Seriously. I can explain.
It starts with Six Degrees of Separation, the idea that all people are no more than six social connections away from each other.
The theory became a play by John Guare, which became a movie, which spawned a TV series… and morphed into a game: Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The man has appeared in a myriad of roles and ANY actor, director, author, producer, you name it, can can find a connection to Kevin Bacon. It also helps that his name rhymes with separation.
Are you ready? Here goes.
I was in a film called “Right To Die” with Raquel Welch and Michael Gross.
Michael Gross was in a film called “Tremors” with [drum roll] …Kevin Bacon!
BAM, two degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon. I win! (Bragging rights only.)
Um, don’t look for my performance in “Right To Die” you’ll only find my name in the end credits. Which is where I found it at the premiere. The director apologized in the lobby afterwards. It was a made-for-TV movie and they had to make room for the commercials. [SIGH]
Well, it makes for a good story, anyway.
Remind me to tell you about my audition for the role of Woody on “Cheers.”

Speaking of good stories, it’s less than a month to the release of The Most Amazing Museum of Los Angeles and I’m psyched!
It’ll be available through the BookBaby Bookstore, Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble Online, and more. If I won’t see you at the June 1st kickoff, please pre-order it on line so the book can have a good showing on the first day.
