Barnes, Leslie, and Jimmy continue their sit-down with Kevin Bacon. Listen in as the iconic actor spills the behind-the-scenes secrets of his career, from his miserable, exposition-filled early days struggling on daytime soap operas to the reason he stepped up as an executive producer on a crazy, unpredictable thriller. Plus, find out which highly controversial, critically acclaimed role completely resurrected his acting career after a long Hollywood slump, and how his passion for music evolved from a movie-set downtime hobby into a full-blown second career.

This is from the Best of The Morning X vault.
