Goodman, but Bacon is underrated.
Goodman gave Oscar caliber performances in (edited to correct)Barton Fink and Lebowski.
I don't think Bacon has delivered a performance that is Oscar-worthy, but he has held his own in films like Apollo 13, Mystic River, even A Few Good Men, and was not outclassed by the excellent performances around him in those films.

Both are pretty versatile. Kevin Bacon is underrated, whereas I think people already consider Goodman to be very legit.

I like Goodman's body of work better, but they are both fine actors.
I think Goodman deserved an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Walter Sobchak.

John Goodman. Don't forget his role in Barton Finch, he was fantastic.

Easy John Goodman.
Kevin Bacon is Kevin Bacon. John Goodman is Dan Connor.
Dan Connor's done a lot with his life.

And I meant Barton Fink, not O Brother for his Oscar-worthy roles - edited.

I didn't see the other 2, but you're correct, Sleepers is legit.
To put it another way, Bacon has been comparable to (maybe just behind) Hanks - but just not been in as many Oscar-worthy films.

How do you leave Murder in the First off of Bacon's list?

Coincidence that DanBot is back and this is posted on Drudge?
