(I think) I have a Bacon number!

Of course, this is counting school plays recorded on videocassette as 'films', and I can't actually verify the existence of two of the links, but:

1. I was in a performance of the musical "Green Eggs and Ham" beside my voice teacher, Cate Frazier-Neely.
   
2. Cathryn Frazier-Neely was at Maryland with soprano Alessandra Marc, and hopefully was caught on video with her at some point (Weak Link #1).
   
3. Alessandra Marc "appeared in a gala concert at the Brooklyn Museum of Art co-chaired by legendary R&B/rap pioneers, Russell Simmons and Danny Simmons" (Weak Link #2).
   
4. Russell Simmons was in the 2002 film "Brown Sugar" with Kimora Lee (this link and the next forged by the Oracle of Bacon at Virginia).
   
5. Kimora Lee was in the 2005 film "Beauty Shop" with Kevin Bacon.
   

Therefore, I've a Bacon number of 5. Anyone else want to play?

Well, if we can count high school, I have a Bacon number of 3.

1. I was the stage manager for almost every production at Boyertown High School in 1992, in which Steve Burns (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0122886/) was the starring actor for about 90% of the plays, including what still stands as the best Arsenic & Old Lace I've ever seen.


2. Steve Burns (V) was in Marie and Bruce (2004) with Campbell Scott (I) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365480/)


3. Campbell Scott (I) was in Loverboy (2005) with Kevin Bacon (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001714/)

Thanks, it was cool to figure that out!

Sweet! I think that's nearly as low a Bacon number as a non-TV/movie-actor can get!

1. I was in the short film "Piece" with and directed by Craig J. Clark. "Piece" is still unedited and has not been seen by anyone, but aside from film, I was also in "Radio Show #47", and he has appeared in "Why The Long Face." We have also written a screenplay together, The Secessionist, a finalist for the 1999 Square Magazine Screenwriting Award.
2. Craig J. Clark was a visible extra in Jersey Girl with David C. Roehm, Sr.
3. David C. Roehm, Sr. was in The Woodsman with Kevin Bacon.

Or:

1. I had lunch with John Langdon in the Collingswood Diner. Needless to say, it was not filmed.
2. John Langdon did design work for The Da Vinci Code, which starred Tom Hanks.
3. Tom Hanks was in Apollo 13 with Kevin Bacon.

Ooh, extras! I forgot about that! Good one!

How do you know? Dum dum dum! ;)

(Those are pretty good links. Looks like I'm the relatively weak one for Bacon numbers.)
