Kevin Norwood Bacon (born July 8, 1958) is an American actor and musician whose notable films include Footloose (1984), A Few Good Men (1992), Apollo 13 (1995). He currently stars on the Fox television series The Following.

Bacon, one of six children, was born and raised in a close-knit family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His mother, Ruth Hilda (née Holmes; 1916–1991), taught at an elementary school and was a liberal activist, while his father, Edmund Norwood Bacon (May 2, 1910 – October 14, 2005), was a well-respected architect and a prominent Philadelphian who had been Executive Director of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission for many years.
