the idolmaker is the black sheep of the joe pantiliano 80's rock musical trifecta and my favorite of the bunch Bob in La Bamba, Doc in Eddie and the Cruisers and Gigi in The Idolmaker - all great films but this one never got the attention it deserved
shareHe was also in another overlooked gem called "The In Crowd" which was really the story of American Bandstand and Dick Clark and all the shows across the country that were similar.He played a dance show host named Perry Parker and even though there were no teen idols singing the real songs of the stars of that time were played.Great movie.The studio Orion went bankrupt and no soundtrack was released.Shame.
