Kevin Bacon on LINKEDIN?

Kevin Bacon, Independent Entertainment Professional: 
This is Kevin Bacon’s title on his LinkedIn page.
He doesn’t make mention of his iconic barometer status in Hollywood as THE CONNECTOR. But he does list every acting and producing credit, project and film in his work history which is what makes his small world phenomenon so believable even if you haven’t read the book – Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon or played the game – Endless Games.
What is most striking about this movie star’s LinkedIn profile (outside of seeing a LinkedIn profile of an A-list movie star to begin with) is this quote: “I have always been forthcoming about my lack of professional self-confidence, but I have never let it stop me from delivering powerful performances.”
What that tells me is that he has to fight through the fear, a lot, to play a big game, working along side the best of the best talent in his field.
The take-away from Kevin Bacon’s A-list profile on LinkedIn?
“Risking the appearance of weakness takes strength.” – Seth Godin, October 4, 2010.
