Roll Call: Six Degrees of Tom Rooney

Submitted by Anonymous on January 9, 2012 - 1:15pm

Roll Call is moving the trivia or drinking game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon -- the quest being to link actor Kevin Bacon with a film by any other actor or actress -- to Congressman Tom Rooney, R-Tequesta.

The Florida Republican is related to, um, maybe everyone on the Eastern Seaboard, or at least most everyone involved in the National Football League, Roll Call stated of the grandson of the late Art Rooney Sr., the founder of the Pittsburg Steelers.

He is also related to the late Wellington Mara, former co-owner of the New York Giants and John Mara, the current co-owner. Rooney also claims actresses Rooney Mara, the newest Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and American Horror Story star Kate Mara (sisters) as his cousins.

You can try the Kevin Bacon game here.

There has yet to be a website set up for six degrees of Tom Rooney.
