SMALL SCREEN, BIG IDEAS: HOW 'THE FOLLOWING' BROUGHT KEVIN BACON TO TV

In January, Kevin Bacon returns to the FOX drama, The Following. Bacon, whose career has spanned over three decades, has been in many rememberable films including Footloose, Animal House, and A Few Good Men. While Bacon has guest starred on hit television shows before, he had never starred in one until the FOX thriller The Following.

For many years, movie stars felt that doing a television series was below them, and meant their careers were at an all-time low if forced to do a series. Bacon told us the lines have now blurred for actors due to the great quality of television shows that are on the air today. 

Season 2 of The Following premieres  Sunday, Jan. 19, 2014 (Post NFC Championship) on FOX.
