Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Maybe I am slow to the party. But I just learned that I can type any actors name into Google, followed by the words Bacon Number, and it will tell me how many steps that actor is away from Kevin Bacon.

I just lost an hour of my life trying to find someone past 3 steps lol. I failed.

Goddammit, I'm choosing the most obscure actors I know, and they're all 1 or 2!

Haha, I was trying to 'beat' it as well. I'm not sure if 6 applies to anyone any more!

It is annoying that if you try someone who has a biography made about them (i.e Charlie Chaplin), it most of the time takes the bio info.

Though a different Google Search got me this:
Charlie Chaplin was in Countess of Hong Kong with Marlon Brando who was in the Score with Robert De Niro who was in Sleepers with Kevin Bacon.
