Kevin Bacon says the subway is the fastest way around New York City, and he rides it all the time. He said he'd had a prosthetic disguise made "to see what it would be like not to be recognized."

What was it like? "I didn't like it very much; no one was nice to me," he said. "People didn't bother me, but they also looked right through me.''

In a recent interview with People Magazine he said he likes to play Angry Birds on his phone while riding the train. In that much, at least, he's just like everyone else.
