  • Abstract
    Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon refers to a game where you try to link any actor to Kevin Bacon by the fewest movies. Every actor has a Bacon number. If an actor appears in the same movie as Kevin Bacon his Bacon number is 1. This paper creates a new movie with a cast that lowers the weighted average for Kevin Bacon, which could be useful for increasing the connectivity of a network.
