Cinema's oddest historical gaffes. Maybe it'd be easier to just move into the store. On the cusp of another nasty role in Paul Verhoeven's thriller, Kevin Bacon defends his rogues' gallery of bad cops, child rapists and male whores.
Nothing can poison an actor's reputation like stardom.
And when Bacon moved on to feature films, he continued playing flawed, unsympathetic assholes. He continued to work, even though his teen idol status prevented him from playing unlikable jerks. Typecast and frustrated, the actor almost gave up his craft until Oliver Stone resuscitated his career. Since 1996, Bacon has split time between acting and playing and touring with the Bacon Brothers, a blues act led by him and his brother Michael. In it, Bacon plays Sebastian Caine, a scientist whose creepiest desires manifest after he takes an experimental serum that makes him invisible.
