Do you think Kevin Bacon is frustrated?

The guy is a decent actor, but doesn't seem to ever catch a break despite having steady work... especially over the last decade has just been killed by critics in the movies he's made... partly because they inherently sucked, but partly because there is usually a competing (better) movie released around the same time.

ie: Stir of Echoes, BAM... hello, The Sixth Sense.
ie: Death Sentence, BAM... hello, The Brave One.

Not to mention he has to bed down with David Lee Roth everynight...

Actor, director, producer, musician, not to mention the center of the (Hollywood) universe ... we should all be so frustrated.

Thought he should have won best actor for his performance in Murder In The First.

He's a good actor but not good enough that I'd start to feel sorry for his slumping career.

Now that I'm older, I watch Footloose again and really find myself agreeing with John Lithgow. Doggone punks with their loud rock and roll music.

Being a spokesman for stuff like Hanes brings in sooo much money.
