“The Goonies” Stars: What They’re Doing Today
The 1985 adventure film “The Goonies” remains a cult classic, and its young cast has since embarked on a wide variety of career paths. Their journeys span from major Hollywood success to careers in law, activism, and music.
Josh Brolin, who played Brand, has become a Hollywood powerhouse. He has built a lasting career with major roles in numerous blockbuster films over the decades.
Sean Astin (Mikey) gained further fame in “Rudy” and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Beyond acting, he works as a producer and director and is known for his philanthropic efforts.
Ke Huy Quan’s story is one of remarkable comeback. After his childhood role as Data, he left acting for years before winning an Oscar for “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”
Other cast members have found success in entirely different fields. Jeff Cohen, known for his role as Chunk, is now a leading entertainment attorney.
The cast also includes advocates and artists. Martha Plimpton (Stef) is a noted stage actress and activist, while Corey Feldman (Mouth) now advocates for child actor safety.
Robert Davi (Jake Fratelli) has forged a second career as a jazz singer. Meanwhile, Kerri Green (Andy) largely stepped away from the spotlight to pursue interests outside of acting.
From Oscar winners to attorneys, the cast of “The Goonies” has demonstrated that life after childhood fame can be as adventurous and unique as the film itself.
