Let's Play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

'Six Degrees of...' games were always good fun on the IMDb boards and those on certain actors' boards ran for many years. So let's try and start the tradition up again, and the obvious place to kick it off is on the board of the actor with whom the whole thing started.
The rules are simple. Player names an actor, and the next poster has to link that actor to Kevin Bacon in as few moves as possible. Example:
Player 1 names Elliot Spiers.
Player 2 might respond:
- Elliot Spiers was in Paperhouse with Gemma Jones.
- Gemma Jones was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets with Miriam Margolyes
- Miriam Margolyes was in Balto with Kevin Bacon.
...and Player 2 would then name the next actor to link to Kevin.
Feature films or TV movies only - no series'. Try not to select names which would be too easy - linking Kevin Bacon to Sean Penn or Meryl Streep is no challenge!
Okay, here goes...
First try: Caroline Langrishe

Orson Welles is of course known for what is widely regarded as the greatest film of all time. A film that birthed countless cinematic techniques that are embedded in the language of cinema as we know it today.
That film is of course Transformers: The Movie
As we've just had Welles I feel it only appropriate to now go to the opposite end of the spectrum.
Next: Tommy Wiseau

I realised I missed out a connection, which I've now corrected. Estevez was obviously not in Flatliners.
