Kevin Bacon | First Soap Opera: Guiding Light

We all love and know Kevin Bacon to be one of Hollywood’s household world-famous prized actors. Apart from his iconic roles in the films Footloose, JFK, and A Few Good Men, he was lauded and given credit for his performance on the comedy National Lampoon’s Animal House in his early years in the industry in 1978. However, the show’s commercial success didn’t quite do much for Bacon’s budding career at that time. And one of his early TV appearances to compensate for his financial struggles was in the soap opera Guiding Light.

Nowadays, Bacon is estimated to have a net worth of $45 million. Indeed, his days of being financially challenged are long gone. His recent TV appearance is on the ongoing series City on a Hill, where he stars as an FBI veteran, Jackie Rohr. Bacon also starred in 2020’s horror You Should Have Left. With decades of success in the industry, it is pleasing to know that he is still going strong.
