Red Haired Cholo


Does anyone know the name of the actor who played the white guy, red haired cholo? I still see him acting occasionally but I can remember his name.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Courtney Gaines I believe. It's funny because he was always type-cast as nerd characters (Can't Buy Me Love)

He was Malachai in Children of The Corn that came out on '84!

He was also in Hardbodies

It's Courtney Gaines. It was strange seeing him in this role-I remember him from a couple of movies in the 1980's-90's-"Children of the Corn", "Can't Buy Me Love" . I thought he looked ridiculous in this movie. In virtually every scene he has his head tilted up at a very strange angle. It was disconcerting watching him.

Thanks for the name, All.

Even though I haven't seen Courtney Gains in anything lately, glad to see he's still working regularly. Since he's only a few years older than me, I feel like we grew up together.

Yeah, that was American Me. The actor playing the white cholo was William Forsythe.

He was also in Back to the Future where he butts into George and Lorraine in the middle of the school dance.

I noticed him watching "The middle" and forgot what I'd seen him in. He played a very believable drunk in the Drive by aftermath scene of Colors
