Kevin Bacon took a chance with 'Taking Chance'
Kevin Bacon is having a moment. After being largely#x an unsung hero Pearl ringsduring his more than 30 years onscreen, Bacon won two best actor awards last month. A Golden Globe was followed a week later by the Screen Actors Guild Award.
There's an irony not lost on Bacon that the prizes came for a part he wasn't sure he wanted to do. For one thing, it was a television movie, and Bacon has shied away from TV, concerned that the quality would not be up to what he was used to on the big screen. "I wasn't all that jazzed about doing something for TV, even if it was HBO," he says.
His other worry was that the project, "Taking Chance," might be Pearl ringsconstrued as a war film.
"There had been a lot of Iraq movies," Bacon said. "Some of them were fantastic, but nobody went to see them. Obviously, I don't want to make something that nobody is going to go see."
Fortunately, he overcame his concerns and signed on to play Lt. Col. Michael Strobl in the true story of his poignant journey accompanying the body of a fallen Marine back to his hometown from the Iraq war. Bacon makes such a convincing Marine that you want to salute him.
Bacon, 51, talked about the physical challenges of playing a Marine and #xthe outpouring of response to the film. His hair, it should be noted,Military Flags, Pearl ringsis back to its disheveled spiky look.
