Yeah, I know. I was just thinking (and posted on another thread) how awesome it would have been if Kiefer Sutherland came back to reprise his role from Stand By Me (aka The Body).

Kiefer is in his EARLY 40's. How is he the right age to play the "old" Ace Merrill?

You read my *beep* mind.

Kiefer was 27 when this film was released, not in his 40's.

And a younger actor can't play an older character?

Whoah, I haven't looked at this thread in a long time... I know Sutherland would have been young for the role of an older Ace Merrill, but they certainly could have used some makeup on him. I just thought it would have been a cool nod to Stand By Me... that's all!
