Kevin Bacon's early training as an actor came from The Manning Street debut as the strict Chip Diller in Animal House (1978) almost seems like an inside joke, but he managed to escape almost unnoticed from that role. Diner (1982) became the turning point after a couple of TV-series and a number of less than memorable movie roles. In a cast of soon to be stars he more than held his end up, and we saw a glimpse of the real lunatic image of The Bacon. He also starred in Footloose (1984), She's Having a Baby (1988), with Fred Ward in Tremors (1990), Flatliners (1990) and in Apollo 13 (1995).
