in my humble opinion a totally underestimated actor...he's brilliant !
I liked him most in 'Diner' (1982), 'Flatliners' (1990), 'Murder in the First'(1995), 'Sleepers' (1996)
his father is Edmund Bacon, a Philadelphia city planner, and his mothers name is Ruth (deceased)
Kevin has a brother, Michael, a musician
on 'Larry King Live' (18. July 1998), Sir Anthony Hopkins said, that Kevin Bacon is one of his favourite actors
he's married to Kyra Sedgwick since 1988
has a son, Travis (* 1989), and a daughter, Sosie Ruth (* 1992) with Sedgewick
