Children and teenagers
Kevin was born in America in a large family in the summer of 1958 and was the youngest child. My father worked as an architect, and my mother taught in elementary school. From early childhood, the boy was fond of music and dreamed of becoming a stage star. As a teenager, he decides to start studying at the theater school, considering art a divine gift. The family supported the choice of his son and soon he was already trying himself in theatrical productions.
He first began performing in the University of Philadelphia. His talent was immediately noticed not only by the public, but also by teachers and he became a real star of student performances. Soon, Bacon began to realize that to achieve his grandiose goals, performing at the local theater was not enough, and he went to New York, where his creative career began.
Theater and Cinema
Arriving in New York, Kevin begins to work in the theater, but the first roles on the professional stage bring him neither success nor money. He rents a small apartment and lives a modest life, denying himself much. Bacon continues to perform on stage, embodying his childhood dream, but fame awaits him not in the theater, but in the cinema, where the aspiring actor will soon go.
Kevin gets his debut role in the film “Menagerie” from director S. Paradise. The role was insignificant, and there was no need to talk about any success, but the actor continues to try his hand at the cinema, and the next role goes to him in a comedy film about student brotherhood, with stupid and vulgar jokes. Kevin did not like this experience and he returned to the theater, continuing to go to auditions and trying himself in episodic roles of numerous TV shows.

After the rental of the film, they began to recognize him and invite him to new projects. Soon Bacon becomes one of the most famous actors in Hollywood, loved by the public and directors. And in the 95th year he was named one of the sexiest actors in the history of cinema.
Fame in the world box office came to Kevin after the films "Tremors of the Earth" and "Comatose". For all his further roles, the actor always received rave reviews from viewers and film critics, but only in the early 2000s did Bacon first become a laureate of prestigious film awards.
