He looked way older and his voice was deep in this movie. When I saw it recently, I thought he was around 20 or 21 in real life then, but he was 16!

I can't believe he was 16 in this and is in his 50's now. I've been crushing on him since Over the Edge in 79'. One of the best, most underrated actors ever. Such a treat to find My Bodyguard on last night!

Ha ha, you're writing me back 8 months later?!! :P

I haven't seen too many of his movies, but I liked him in There's Something about Mary and Crash.

When I fireman saw this at 14 I thought he was so sexy and older looking. Now that I'm older I watch this film and think "yup, he's really young in this." Point is, now that I'm older I think he looks his age in the film
