I was in a conversation with someone last week who had never heard of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. It's the theory that you can connect Mr. Bacon to any other actor in 6 degrees or less. I found a website that proves IT IS A LAW!

I always thought that, if given the chance, I could come up with some really obscure choices that would disprove the theory. For twenty minutes straight I could only find one actor that registered a Bacon number of 3. Steve Landesberg.(Pictured above with fellow Barney Miller cast mate Max Gail.)

But it wasn't the late great Steve Landesberg who I originally intended. It was ANOTHER unrelated actor by that same name. And finally after another ten minutes I quit. If you can beat the Oracle of Bacon, your next breakfast is on me.*
