Kevin Bacon, the famous and handsome 65-year-old actor, has had quite a journey in the movie industry. He even won a Golden Globe for one of his projects on HBO. But before his television success, Bacon never watched any of his own performances.
In a recent interview, Bacon shared that he initially had reservations about working in TV. He admitted, “If my agent had called me and said, ‘I think you should do a series,’ I would have fired my agent.” However, thanks to his actress wife, Kyra Sedgwick, he changed his mind.
Bacon talked about how he enjoyed spending time with Sedgwick on the show they both starred in and attending award ceremonies together.
