Campbell says Kevin Bacon is the best actor he's worked with

Post by Terry »

I was in the supermarket this morning and as I waited to pay I noticed a copy of the Radio Times with Daniel Craig on the cover. Inside there was an interview with various directors and each answered a number of questions. Anyway, when Martin Campbell was asked who was the best actor he had ever worked with he named Kevin Bacon who (off the top of my head) he directed in a late eighties film called Criminal Law. I just thought it was interesting that he went for Bacon. Campbell also said he wished he'd directed Lawrence Of Arabia. Overall I'm probably glad that David Lean got there before him :wink:

I guess that means Daniel Craig has only one degree of Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon is a good actor. Once Footloose was behind him he did some interesting stuff.

Perhaps a Kevin Bacon avatar could be added to the site.

Why would you want a Kevin Bacon avatar. He has no connection to James Bond. Seems an odd choice.
