Sunday = even more downtime in L.A. Played with the munchkin for most of the day. Ahhh. Trawled through IMDBpro for Atlanta Talent agencies for my forthcoming targeted campaign to find an agent there, hopefully taking full advantage of the 4D Coke film opening with the New World of Coke in May 2007. Seems there's only three main ones...

Found something very funny while I was 'in' IMDB...(I quote):

"What is a Bacon Number?

Perhaps you have heard of the "Kevin Bacon Game", a.k.a. "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon". This is based on the theory of "Six Degrees of Separation" which states that everyone in the world can be connected by six or less people (i.e. Bob knows Jim, Jim knows Anne, Anne knows Steve, therefore Bob can be connected to Steve through Jim and Anne, even though Bob and Steve have never met).

The "Kevin Bacon Game" is based on a similar theory, tracing actors' connections to Kevin Bacon based on actors with whom they have appeared in films. It does not require them to share screen time, just to be in the same movie. The "Bacon Number" is based on how many films it takes to connect someone to Kevin Bacon. For example, Kevin Pollak was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon, giving him a Bacon Number of 1. Jeanne Tripplehorn was not in a movie with Kevin Bacon, but has appeared with Pollak in Steal This Movie, meaning it takes two films to connect her (Steal This Movie and A Few Good Men), giving her a Bacon number of 2.

There may be multiple ways to connect someone to Kevin Bacon at the same level (i.e. Jeanne has been in movies with other people who have Bacon Numbers of 1, such as with Christian Slater in Very Bad Things and with Kevin Costner in Waterworld), but we only display one of the possible connections.

So, let's have a little search then...
