KEVIN BACON (Sean Devine) is one of the foremost actors of his generation, building an acclaimed body of work through richly detailed starring roles and powerful supporting characters. His recent films include starring roles in Paul Verhoeven’s science-fiction thriller Hollow Man, Trapped, My Dog Skip and Stir of Echoes, a psychological thriller directed by David Koepp.
In 1998 Bacon starred in Wild Things, a stylish thriller co-starring Matt Dillon and Neve Campbell, and Digging to China, Timothy Hutton’s directorial debut.
In 1997 Bacon starred with Jennifer Aniston in the romantic comedy PicturePerfect. He made his directorial debut in 1996 on the Showtime project Losing Chase, starring Kyra Sedgwick, Beau Bridges and Helen Mirren. Honored with three Golden Globe nominations, including Best Motion Picture Made for Television, the project also screened at the Sundance Film Festival. The same year Bacon reunited with his Diner director Barry Levinson for Sleepers, starring with Brad Pitt, Jason Patric and Robert De Niro.
Other film projects include Telling Lies in America, Ron Howard’s critically acclaimed Apollo 13, An Almost Holy Picture, Murder in the First and The River Wild, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe Award.
Bacon has crafted countless other feature roles, such as the brilliant but self-destructive Fenwick in Barry Levinson’s Diner (which was executive produced by Mark Johnson), the dancing rebel in Footloose, an overly expectant father in She’s Having a Baby, a disarming psychotic killer in Criminal Law, a film student/director wooed by Hollywood in The Big Picture, a hapless handyman in Tremors and the voice of the title character in Steven Spielberg’s animated film, Balto, in addition to memorable roles in Oliver Stone’s JFK and Rob Reiner’s A Few Good Men. Bacon made his film debut as Chip in National Lampoon’s Animal House.
With his older, musician brother Michael, Kevin is the other half of The Bacon Brothers, a successful band with a sound that Kevin describes as "Forosoco" (which is also the title of their first album) – Folk, Rock, Soul and Country. Already highly regarded and hugely successful on the national club circuit, they just released their third CD, "Can’t Complain."
