One of my ex co-workers is aces at this game, she could (properly staged and prepped) consistently separate rubes from their beer money and thus keep us liquid quite easily. And the speed at which she could fire off connections was a sight to be seen. According to her, the requirement is that the actor be listed in the credits (against one of the roles) of a movie that was released to theaters. Unlisted cameos don't count. People who are credited for being behind the scenes (even if they are SAG members) don't count. TV movies don't count. Straight to video doesn't count either. So unless Frank Oz got a credit for BEING Yoda, he's not an actor for that role. There is actually a commercial version of the back to bacon game which I have, but have never opened. Didn't see the point. There's also a web site for capturing really neat links, but it's woefully out of date. I feel the Oracle of Bacon is wrong because Frank did not have an onscreen presence in the Muppet Movie, however I did a little IMDB digging. IMDB is an impeccable resource and we usually used it as final arbiter for disputes amongst ourselves. http://www.imdb.com/ Try this search: http://us.imdb.com/Name?Oz,+Frank Seems he was in Blues Brothers 2000 as an actor (not just voice). This gives us Frank Oz in BB 2000 with Dan Ackroyd Dan Akroyd in She's Having A Baby with Kevin Bacon so his Bacon Number is still 2. -- Larry Pieniazek larryp@novera.com http://my.voyager.net/lar - - - Web Application Integration! http://www.novera.com fund Lugnet(tm): http://www.ebates.com/ Member ref: lar, 1/2 $$ to lugnet.

(...) Did Ben Stein have scenes (on-screen) in common with Kevin Bacon? I believe that's a rule of the original game. But you can kindly ignore the rule I broke about no TV shows, just movies! :-, Wondering am I, degrees of separation from Yoda are (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
