10 Actors You Won't Believe Have Never Made A Sequel
4. Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon has become a sort of parody of himself in recent years, what with the whole "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" thing that people seem to love, and those really terrible adverts he does on British TV. But there's a sense that he's kind of in on the joke, so we forgive him, we guess. What's surprising about this guy, though, is the fact that he has never appeared in a sequel to one of his own movies. Not even once! So whereas Kevin Bacon is famous for starring in heavily sequelised flicks such as Friday the 13th and Tremors, the actor has steered entirely clear of their follow-ups (a decision we doubt he regrets). Given the fact that he seems a tad desperate for work nowadays, you might have thought he'd have signed on for an unnecessary and belated sequel to Footloose or something. Nope: he's sticking with those awful TV ads. If He Had To Make A Sequel? There was already terrible remake, but a fully-fledged sequel to Footloose - starring old Bacon - could be unintentionally hilarious.
