A photo of Sean Astin with a stack of movies that he's starred in.
I get that most people these days know him from Goonies or Lord of the Rings or Stranger Things, but I remember him best from the Disney made-for-TV movie The BRAT Patrol.
You can watch it on YouTube. I have fond memories of the Wonderful World of Disney, my parents taped most of the '80s entries.
And if you're wondering, it was released on VHS, so it could be in the stack. I can only find UK copies online, but I have seen rental store copies of the other Disney TV movies of the era, so I'm sure there's a US version also. I still have my VCR copy.
I do recommend The BRAT Patrol. It's a typical gang of misfits vs the smug organized club movie. Sean Astin plays your typical Zach Morris/Ferris Bueller type who can talk his way out of trouble, but he does it well. Stay tuned for the Brian Keith cameo.
