Hm, it seems like basically any actor you can think of off the top of your head has a Bacon number of 2 (or less). I guess that makes sense. Anyone have some interesting examples of 4+ bacon numbers??

Yeah, I can't get any higher than two... granted, I'm not super up my with Hollywood, but I thought I could get more than that.....

Salvador dali was the only way I could get over 2 (he's 3) in about 5 minutes of trying.

Justin Bieber (4) - admittedly an edge case, but a popular candidate without close ties (yet). It also includes the "classical baby i ' m grown up now the poetry show" link, with which I wasn't previously familiar.

It's got to be hard to get there if all of the connections are mapped -- I'm a 3. (I worked briefly with Giancarlo Giannini to prep him for his role in the awful Mimic, since I was shining shoes for a living at the time and the producers were willing to give me $200/hr to show him how to hold a brush; Giannini was in Hannibal with Julianne Moore; Moore was in Crazy, Stupid Love with Bacon.)
