‘SIX DEGREES OF KEVIN BACON’ (and CHARLIE SHEEN!!), PLUS OTHER FILMLAND TRIVIA

American actress Sally Kirkland featured alongside Kevin Bacon in Oliver Stone’s JFK, and starred in the Hollywood indie movie Starry Night. My name is on the credits of Starry Night – a fast track to a high rating on ‘the Kevin Bacon-ometer’. I have also worked with an actor who once co-starred with Charlie Sheen. Hmmmm.

On IMDb my biography has somehow been merged with that of another Ian Craig, a cinematographer from a previous generation. If I’ve ‘done the math’ correctly, this would make me around 85 years old. In reality I have a longish track record... but not quite to that extent!

A little-known fact.... I worked as a magazine illustrator and was the first UK artist to design covers for MAD magazine.

Another ‘comedy gem’: I have a writer’s credit on The Two Ronnies paperback titled It’s Goodnight From Him (possibly still available at a very tasty price in a Bargain Bookshop near you).
