Bacon number

A Bacon number measures the degree of separation between an actor and Kevin Bacon in the realm of film and television. If an actor has a Bacon number of 1, they have directly appeared in a movie with Bacon. A Bacon number of 2 means they worked with someone who has worked with Bacon, and so on. This concept stems from the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, highlighting the interconnectedness of actors in the entertainment industry, illustrating how closely linked people can be through collaborative work in films.
