biography:
Kevin Norwood Bacon, 8 Temmuz 1958 tarihinde Philadelphia, Pennsylvania'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Altı çocuğun en küçüğü olan Bacon'ın annesi bir öğretmen, babası ise Philadelphia'nın modernleşmesinde önemli rol oynamış ünlü bir şehir plancısıydı. Sanata ve oyunculuğa olan tutkusu erken yaşlarda belli oldu ve 17 yaşında tiyatro kariyerine başlamak üzere New York'a taşındı. Circle in the Square Tiyatro Okulu'nda eğitim aldıktan sonra ilk sinema deneyimini "Çılgınlar Okulu" (National Lampoon's Animal House) (1978) filmiyle yaşadı. Ancak asıl tanınırlığı, "13. Cuma" (Friday the 13th) (1980) gibi filmlerde ve tiyatro sahnesinde kazandığı başarılarla yavaş yavaş inşa etti. 1982'de Barry Levinson'ın yönettiği "Diner" filmindeki performansıyla eleştirmenlerin dikkatini çekti.

Ancak Kevin Bacon'ı uluslararası bir yıldıza dönüştüren ve gençliğin sembolü haline getiren yapım, dans etmenin yasak olduğu bir kasabaya başkaldıran Ren McCormack karakterini canlandırdığı "Footloose" (1984) oldu. Bu film, Bacon'ın kariyerinde bir patlama yarattı ve onu 80'lerin en tanınan yüzlerinden biri yaptı. "Footloose"un getirdiği şöhretin ardından Bacon, tek bir tiplemeye sıkışıp kalmamak için bilinçli bir çaba gösterdi ve kariyeri boyunca çok çeşitli karakterleri canlandırdı. Joel Schumacher'in yönettiği "Tıbbi Tehlike" (Flatliners) (1990) filminde tıp öğrencisini, "Tetikçiler" (Tremors) (1990) filminde dev solucanlarla savaşan birini, Rob Reiner'ın yönettiği "Birkaç İyi Adam" (A Few Good Men) (1992) filminde askeri bir avukatı ve Ron Howard imzalı "Apollo 13" (1995) filminde astronot Jack Swigert'ı canlandırarak ne kadar yönlü bir aktör olduğunu kanıtladı.

Kariyeri boyunca "Vahşi Nehir" (The River Wild) (1994), "Kardeş Gibiydiler" (Sleepers) (1996), Clint Eastwood'un yönettiği ve ona Ekran Oyuncuları Derneği Ödülü adaylığı getiren "Gizemli Nehir" (Mystic River) (2003) ve "X-Men: Birinci Sınıf" (X-Men: First Class) (2011) gibi birçok başarılı filmde rol aldı. Televizyonda da "The Following" dizisi ve "Taking Chance" filmiyle büyük beğeni topladı; "Taking Chance" ile Altın Küre ve Ekran Oyuncuları Derneği ödüllerini kazandı.

Kevin Bacon, sinema dünyasındaki geniş ve birbiriyle bağlantılı filmografisi nedeniyle popüler kültürde "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" (Kevin Bacon'a Altı Derece) adlı bir oyunun ortaya çıkmasına ilham kaynağı olmuştur. Oyunculuğun yanı sıra, abisi Michael Bacon ile birlikte kurdukları "The Bacon Brothers" adlı müzik grubunda aktif olarak müzik yapmaktadır. Grup, folk, rock ve country tarzlarını harmanladıkları müzikleriyle turnelere çıkmakta ve albümler yayınlamaktadır.
