Kevin Bacon might be a face of versatility. From heart-pounding thrillers to emotionally charged dramas, he’s carved a path through the movie industry for decades, solidifying his status as a Hollywood Heavyweight.

Kevin Bacon Had Begrudgingly Done The Cult ClassicTremors
Tremorsis a 1990 horror-comedy gem that throwsKevin Baconand co-star Fred Ward into the shoes of Val McKee and Earl Bassett, two resourceful handymen yearning to escape the sleepy desert town of Perfection, Nevada.

Tremorsblend humor with suspense, and its practical effects (a rarity today) make the creatures feel real. While the movie played a huge role in pushing Bacon’s career, he was not very interested in the role. He was, however, in financial need and still ended up picking up the movie. Speaking toEW,Bacon revealed how he had no choice but to say yes to the role.
“I had begrudgingly done it,” “I was broke, I had a kid on the way, and my mom had gotten sick, and I felt like I didn’t have a choice — I was like, ‘Jesus, this is a movie about underground monsters, how far I’ve fallen.'”
While Bacon was not a huge fan of the script, he was excited once the production started describing it as a “magical time”.
“Working with Fred Ward and welcoming his first child. Plus, puppets! “The super cool thing about Tremors is that Tremors is all practical effects,” he says. “It was all guys in puppets or people with things on their hands, and wires being pulled. It was ingenious. Acting with a puppet requires some acting, but we’re professional pretenders.
