Six Degrees of Separation

Many, many years ago there was a very popular "Six Degrees of Separation" game with Kevin Bacon. Bacon has had such an expansive career in both film and television that he is six degrees away from every major star in Hollywood over the last 30 years. Now, you have a chance to get one degree closer to Kevin Bacon when he comes to Atlanta to film a new TV pilot for Fox. 


Currently, the producers are looking for featured roles for scenes filming in Atlanta next week. They are looking for "Judge" type older gentleman with grey hair and two male lawyer-types who are clean cut, with great suits. For the lawyer types, they are looking for men in their 30s to 50s. 


The untitled pilot was created by Kevin Williamson, the creator of the Atlanta filmed CW's "The Vampire Diaries." Williams has many screenwriting credits including "Scream" and "Dawson's Creek."
