Kevin Bacon isn’t just an actor; he’s like that friend who somehow knows everyone. Famous enough to inspire a game, “Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon,” he’s starred in tons of movies and still jams with his brother’s band, The Bacon Brothers. Fun tidbit: to nail his role in Footloose, he actually went undercover as a high school exchange student. Talk about commitment!

    Milo’s the kind of actor who makes you feel all the feels. From Gilmore Girls to This Is Us, he’s nailed every role. Bonus tidbit: he was born with a bit of a crooked mouth thanks to nerve stuff—kind of like Sylvester Stallone. It just adds character!

    Maya Hawke might’ve jumped into your Stranger Things binge as Robin Buckley, but she’s also a talented singer-songwriter with some lovely indie folk tunes. Here’s something sweet: she’s got dyslexia, which made school a bit of a puzzle, but today she’s rocking it in every way.
