In watched BC's films only these two, I think he was cool in his prime time, especially when he co-starred with JC in 1990's Rocketeer; from what I can remember, JC fell in love with him around the time the feature film was finished, they seemed to hang around for a while.

Now 2 decades later, thing changed a lot, people changed a lot, no longer baby fat face as JC had in Rocketeer, no longer handsome and charming as BC used to be. One Oscar winner, one fifty-something dude. Time is a cruelty to young bodies and hearts. but C'est la vie.

Both of them lost a considerable amount of weight... in fact, "anorexic" is the term. I am pretty stunned to see what happened to both of these actors who once upon a time were in such stupendous shape. They're getting older, yes, but still... Oh well.

I hat a fit when I recognized him in Rocketeer, I had even seen that movie several times before it sunk in... But he doesn't look so bad now. He looked great for a long time just like his cousin Bruce.

On the other hand, Jonathan "Babyface" Frakes was SO young in the first 2 seasons of STTNG, but in the course of 7 years he aged noticeably, albeit in a well seasoned way. He started taking on Grey during "Nemesis" and then he blew up. But sometimes when you reach a certain age, it just happens. Oh, to be 30 years younger, what I would give.
