Trying to steal my seat at a film fest. -- nm - . Jul 23, 00:33
I don't know why he got famous but at this point, Stranger Things is probably his biggest credit. - Mop Jul 22, 22:14 2
- He’s got a mass assortment of random movies that you probably forgot you ever saw. Birdie. Pacific Heights. He was in the video for “Crazy for You”. -- nm - Mop Jul 22, 22:24 1
  - I remember him in Birdie with Nick Cage. And that second Transporter movie. -- nm - landbeck Jul 23, 03:25
Private School (though probably just me who watched that way too many times) Wind (I'm probably the only one who saw that) Memphis Belle -- nm - JD Jul 22, 20:48
I remember him from Gross Anatomy. -- nm - kelly Jul 22, 20:45
and Married To the Mob was hilarious. -- nm - mud Jul 22, 20:25 1
- I liked that movie a lot but he’s charmless in the role -- nm - Roger More Jul 22, 20:41
I swear I thought everyone was trying to get the answer wrong for some reason. - Krusty Jul 22, 19:45 2
- (spoilers) - ReluctantCynic Jul 22, 19:47 1
  - Yup. He was the lead and was fantastic in the role. -- nm - Krusty Jul 22, 20:00
VisionQuest, Full Metal Jacket -- nm - the ice Jul 22, 19:44 5
- This is my answer as well -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 19:58 1
  - Yes, in that order. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 20:09
- so like this is the answer. but how is that enough to make someone famous?? -- nm - amanda Jul 22, 19:50 2
  - Vision Quest puts him on the map. Then he’s kind of around. Turns down Top Gun. Then gets Full Metal Jacket. Then he’s just around. Stranger Things. - Volnelk Jul 22, 20:00 1
    - Vision Quest was the fist Madonna movie, so it was big news and everyone knew about it. He rode that wave into Full Metal Jacket, which was huge. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 20:11
Vision Quest -- nm - David Jul 22, 19:44
full metal jacket is what springs to mind for me. not sure if he was in anything earlier. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:44 1
- it's probably the only thing I could name him from. -- nm - mafic Jul 22, 19:50
his dad is a world-renowned bookeeper, i believe -- nm - prayformojo Jul 22, 19:42
Wasn't he in Taps? I'm assuming it's not because of his episode in West Wing ... -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 22, 19:39
Cutthroat Island? -- nm - Roger More Jul 22, 19:36 6
- was this movie a big deal? (note that I hate pirate movies.) -- nm - amanda Jul 22, 19:38 3
  - It ended Geena Davis’ career and is one of the biggest bombs ever. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 19:40
  - A big disaster. He was brought in on short notice after Michael Douglas quit the role -- nm - Roger More Jul 22, 19:39
  - It sunk the studio so in that way, yes. -- nm - spamlet Jul 22, 19:39
- More serious answer - Roger More Jul 22, 19:38 1
  - fair fair. -- nm - amanda Jul 22, 19:38
I can picture him but not what he was in. -- nm - spamlet Jul 22, 19:35
The Watchmen? Although it was a bit of a mystery how he got that role to begin with. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 19:35 2
- nay (spoiler) - amanda Jul 22, 19:37
- Oh that's Goode, not Modine. Brilliantly proving the point. -- nm* - Beryllium Jul 22, 19:36
Isn't like his father an actor or something? - ty97 Jul 22, 19:35 2
- nay (spoiler) - amanda Jul 22, 19:36 1
  - heh, was just reading the same :) -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 19:36
