: Hi Kevin...I am writing from Australia. Firstly, I'm a big fan of your movies, especially Chasing Amy, (and I always thought Mallrats was a funny movie).
: I hope Kevin can answer this question. I know that you're a big fan of John Hughes and The Breakfast Club. I was just watching Weird Science and Breakfast Club recently and I was thinking how brilliant Anthony Michael Hall was as a teen actor. He was so witty and had a natural acting ability. I often think about what happened to his career.
I love Anthony Michael Hall, as well as the rest of the Brat Pack, but from what I understand, his ego got the better of him. For instance, he turned down the lead to Full Metal Jacket because Kubrik wouldn't work around HIS schedule. A bit of a premadonna, don't you think. (Not that Matthew Modine's career is skyrocketing now). Anyway, I think the only one who destroyed Anthony Michael Hall's promising career (and I do mean promising)...is Anthony Michael Hall
