Three Degrees, Baby.

I'm sure you're all familiar with the trivia game "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon." Although the game originally offended Kevin, he soon embraced it as a testament to his prolific career. I'd love to work with him, but in the meantime, as I build my acting resumé, I'm edging ever closer.

Here's how my connection breaks down: I was in a horror flick a couple years ago with an actor named Edwin Craig. You might remember Edwin from the original Batman film. He shook hands with the Joker, played by Jack Nicholson, and was zapped with such a jolt of electricity that Edwin's head exploded.

Jack Nicholson then starred with Kevin Bacon in A Few Good Men, so the link works thusly:

Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson was in Batman with Edwin Craig
Edwin Craig was in Brain Blockers with Matt Shevin

There you have it. Nifty.
