Talk:Kevin Bacon

I just checked that website out...its crazy what is happening at the factory in the Dominican Republic. Hanes isn't respecting workers rights at all. I also looked at the Hanes website, and found a picture of Kevin promoting a shirt that says: "Kevin and Hanes have designed a special T-shirt symbolic of the close connections that exist between all people. These connections allow us to come together to change the world" www.hanes.com. This bothers me because it is so hypocritical that they are promoting a shirt to change the world and at the same time making people in the Dominican Republic work more than 12 hours a day and paying them less than $200 US a month. I really hope that Kevin responds to the student campaign and asks Hanes to recognize the union in the Dominican Republic. Also, can we put this on the actual page, because this is a really important part of Kevin Bacon's biography. Valleys: thats where its at 16:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Has anyone seen the www.sixdegreesofexploitation.com website? Apparently Kevin is the target of a student anti-sweatshop campaign for his role as a spokesperson for Hanes, because Hanes has a factory in the Dominican Republic that has committed severe workers rights violations. The student campaign, led by United Students Against Sweatshops, is asking Kevin to use his role as spokesperson and demand that Hanes recognize the union and live up to their promise to enter into collective bargaining negotiations with the union.

The first year is the year that the show started not the year he was on it. Rmhermen 16:09, Sep 19, 2003 (UTC)

Ahhh, soaps! Thanks, I'll put them back. DJ Clayworth 17:06, 19 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Movie Order

I know this is a bit silly, but shouldn't the order of movies he's in be listed from oldest to newest instead of vice-versa? 66.229.227.175 02:05, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree! FruitMart07 17:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Six Degrees Example

The example links a movie to Kevin Bacon and not another actor. Since this isn't how the game is played, it should probably be changed. MusicMaker5376 06:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stub

This article seems like a stub to me, suprising considering how well known he is.

I agree. There is almost no biographical information about Kevin Bacon himself, just a long section about that stupid "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, which only carries his name because it sounds vaguely similar to "Six Degrees of Separation".

0 Degrees

Kevin Bacon himself possesses a Bacon number of 0, as he is zero degrees away from himself.

Is this necessary? It seems pretty obvious that he should be 0 degrees from himself. Someone should delete if this is general consensus.

Seems to me that it has already been removed. Iolakana|^t 18:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance?

This article needs serious work. More space is given to "Six Degrees" and "Trivia" than to biographical and career information, and these latter should be the focus of the article. Since "Six Degrees" HAS and article of its own, I think that it should get no more than a sentence here, and certainly not a section of several paragraphs. Trivia should be an appendix, extraneous miscellanea that can shed further light on a subject, but when basic core information is absent there is no place for trivia. I suggest both sections be scrapped and the stub template moved from the Career section to the end of the article. Canonblack 18:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proper identification of Cosmo writers

This article repeatedly refers to two Cosmopolitan writers - indentified only as "Chase" and "Mills". I assume these are last names. In the first citation of each, the first name should be given. Additionally, the names should be attached to the articles cited in the reference section. This lack undermines the credibility of the article and is disorienting to the reader.Symphony Girl 18:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Inspiration

Apparently:

Kevin was inspired as an actor by Super Engineer A.K.A Wondergirl T-rav Camelang

Who wrote this?

His agent? I mean he's a fine enough actor for nearly 30 years, but is this article objective? It reads like the front page to his bio-book handed out by his agent.12.28.101.34 20:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rhymes?

'and because the name "Kevin Bacon" rhymes with the last word of the phrase "six degrees of separation".' Bacon doesn't rhyme with separation!

Will & Grace?

It's not super notable, but he did make a cameo on Will & Grace as himself. Shouldn't this mentioned somewhere in the article? Most of the time when people make cameos like that, it's mentioned on their article. CherryFlavoredAntacid (talk) 04:03, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
