Kevin Bacon played Sebastian Caine in this film.



From IMDB:  Kevin Bacon stars as Sebastian Caine, a scientist working with a diverse crew in an underground laboratory on a military project. The goal: to achieve the power of invisibility, as well as the ability to return to a visible state. Caine, being the egotistical hothead that he is, performs the procedure on himself, but finds he is unable to return to his human state. With Caine growing further and further mad, the rest of the crew try to find a way to revert him back to his normal state, not knowing Caine is beginning to prefer his invisibility and will do anything to keep it.

"M" is Murder in the First (1995)

Kevin Bacon played Henri Young in this film.



From IMDb:  Henri Young (Kevin Bacon) was convicted for stealing $5 from a post office and sent to Alcatraz, the most secure jail for the most dangerous criminals. After a futile escape mission, he was sent to a dungeon and got out as a murderer after a thousand days, though 19 days in dungeon was the maximum official punishment allowed. He became scared, confused, and savage and killed one of the prisoners. It was a sure-to-lose case, so James Stamphill (Christian Slater), a fresh law graduate, was appointed as Young's lawyer. But rest is history! Based on a true story, "Murder in the First" is a masterpiece by Marc Rocco. It shows how the dungeon of Alcatraz was shut down forever!

Kevin Bacon has an uncredited role as Actor Lance Phelps.

From IMDb:

Dr. Frank Sangster is a straight-laced dentist who because of one innocent lie, finds his tidy, prosperous life transformed into a comic quagmire of illicit sex, illegal drugs and inexplicable murder in this brilliantly offbeat, bitingly comedic film!

Kevin Bacon played Don in this film based on the Neil Simon play.


IMDb:  A boozy Broadway actress (Marsha Mason) comes out of a 12-week cure to face the problems of her best friends (James Coco, Joan Hackett) as well as her needy daughter (Kristy McNichol). She tries to balance the terrors of returning to work with the demands of all around her with humor and insight, while staying off the booze.

Kevin Bacon stars as Ari.

Plot: As soon as they meet Ari and Sam get into a pretty passionate - and combustible - relationship. Indeed, the scenes of their rendezvous often seem reminiscent of the Chicago Fire. But the course of true flaming lust never runs true, and as they try to handle their all-consuming passion their two best friends endlessly meet to compare notes on developments.

"Q" is Queens Logic (1991)

Kevin Bacon played Dennis in this film.



From IMDb:  When childhood friends Al (Joe Mantegna), Dennis (Kevin Bacon) and Eliot (John Malkovich) get together for Ray's (Ken Olin) wedding, which may or may not happen, they end up on a rollercoaster ride through reality. During one tumultuous, crazy weekend, they face adulthood and each other with new found maturity and discover what Queens Logic is all about. This wonderful, romantic comedy, reminiscent of "The Big Chill," takes a warm and hilarious look at friendship, loyalty, and love. The all-star cast is joined by Jamie Lee Curtis, Chloe Webb, and Tom Waits.
