In 1978, Kevin Bacon made his film debut in the movie, National Lampoon’s Animal House. From here he followed up his film acting work with appearances in movies such as Starting Over and The Gift. 

To begin with, his on-screen appearances were small roles, but soon his star status began to grow. This in turn increased his presence on the big screen, and propelled his career forward.

Over the years, Kevin Bacon starred in films such as Friday the 13th, Footloose, and Apollo 13. He also took on the role of Valentine McKee in ’90s horror classic, Tremors.
