Sean Astin has had a strange career

[StonedLemur]

Stand by Me

Don’t fight me sir.

Stand by me is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Lord of the rings is like some kind of juggernaut though tbf.

 

[StonedLemur]

I’m reading a thread about Sean Astin…what am I doing with my life?

Im with you sir...I think we should rethink some shit lol.

He's the heart of the goonies and then kinda fades for a decade.

Then he pops up as Rudy and the fades again for a decade.

Then he pops up as the the Sam in the Lord of the rings trilogy.

It's like this dude comes out of his hole once per decade to make a huge movie where audience's cry and root for him.

He might be the greatest ever at playing underdogs.

Bro, sounds like a desirable career given most of Holywood unmentionables. Good for him.

 

[ICHEERTHEBULL]

Fair play to him. Shows tenacity, dude could have easily just quit like so many others but stuck with it

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

"Goonies Never Say Die!"

Ke Huy Quan FTW

 

[zapataxiv]

he was great in stranger Things too
comes out of nowhere and takes over the show

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Dats what I said

BOOBYTRAP

What stands out with the Goonies is actually how bad it was for the short term careers of most of those involved, Feldman is really the only one who carried on getting big roles in the years afterwards.

Joe Pantoliano made out OK.

 

[shunyata]

He was head of CTU I believe on one of the seasons of 24.

Oh shit, Gayle the snail was on 24?

uh, he's not an A-Lister or anything, but he did other fun movies than Rudy and the goonies. Encino man, Toy Soldiers

Toy Soldiers is arguably his very best movie outside of LOTR

 

[Morning Star]

Oh shit, Gayle the snail was on 24?

The only cast member in more episodes than her was Kiefer himself. She was his sidekick that was always in his ear. Basically Cortana to his Master Chief.

 

[I Am Legion]

His brother had a decent run as well:

 

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

Laughs in Thanos.

I'd guess being typecast as a mafia goon is never that terrible for your career were as I think the "loveble smartass teenager" kind of role dried up pretty fast when the 80's ended.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

feels like he's one of those actors everybody likes
i call that a win

No, I said 'huh' because the thing you said made no sense. You meant 'duh' because you're dumb.
