Um, seeing as I'm out in Hollywood...well, I guess this came along at the right time. I am part of the "cast" for a docu entitled (for now) Weather Movie. (I hope they keep the title, tones of Scary Movie.) I will be playing myself. This is something I do all the time--sometimes more convincingly than others. But never before, at least to my knowledge, have I gotten into the Internet Movie Database for it.
How many degrees of separation to Kevin Bacon?
I had the same thought as Mike when I saw the feed, but since I was needing an excuse to procastinate, I tried some research. The Oracle of Bacon was not directly helpful, so I had to look at IMDB. I don't know what kind of participation and/or film is needed for bonna fide links, but being cavalier we get:
Chris Mooney (II)----Stephen Schneider (through Weather Movie)
Stephen Schneider----Leonardo DiCaprio (through The 11th Hour, who narrated the docu)
and the Oracle adds DiCaprio - Martin Sheen - Kevin Bacon.
That would give you a Bacon number of 4 (in fact, that's a lower bound).
If being a narrator doesn't count, then you can skip DiCaprio and use the Simpsons instead:
Chris Mooney (II) / Stephen Schneider / Stephen Hawking / Nancy Cartwright / Kevin Bacon
