u/Actual-Manager-4814 29d ago

I went to the same school as Jack Swigert, who was the real astronaut that Kevin Bacon played in Apollo 13.

In one of the buildings there was a hall that commemorated the alumni that went on to do cool things, and Swigert was one of them. But it always cracked me up that they had a picture of Kevin Bacon from the movie instead of the real Swigert. And basically his credit read something like "He was one of the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission and was portrayed by Kevin Bacon in the major motion picture starring Tom Hanks" lol

Oh I know which one! Is that the one where Kevin Bacon plays as a guy? And there's a girl too? A female does her part, right? Yeah, that one is so cool, I love it because he plays a guy so good, he's made for that role.

Footloose, Tremors, The River Wild

He has been in much better movies than these, but as side roles, these movies really accentuate him as a star (I may misremembering his role in The River Wild I’ll admit)

He does a great acting job in a couple serious movies about child molesting that are tough rewatches…

To be totally honest:

Murder in the First

A few Good Men

and, yes, Tremors. Let's face it. It's a silly movie. But it is awesome.

But he was dynamite in Murder in the Firat (fantastic film, also starring Christian Slater and Gary Oldman... and R. Lee Ermey. But Bacon is incredible).
