The Oracle of Bacon 04/05/04 |
Have you heard the Three Degrees of Bacon theory? Sure you have! It states that every actor can be traced to a movie with Kevin Bacon within three steps. Now, you can prove the theory! The Oracle of Bacon at Virginia is an online tool developed by the University of Virginia's Computer Science department to connect actors to Kevin Bacon. There are a few exceptions, however. About 12% of all actors cannot be linked to the rest of the movie universe, either because they have appeared only in TV features or straight-to-video releases that the Oracle doesn't count, or because they have not appeared in any features with actors from the Hollywood mainstream.
