Over four decades after ‘The Goonies’ first hit theaters, the beloved adventure classic still has fans chanting “Goonies never say die.” Released in 1985, the film became one of the defining movies of the decade. Several cast members went on to have hugely successful careers in Hollywood. Sean Astin, who played Mikey, later starred in hits like ‘Rudy’ and famously portrayed Samwise Gamgee in ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ and its sequels. More recently, he appeared in the hit Netflix series ‘Stranger Things’, portraying fan-favorite Bob. Ke Huy Quan experienced a remarkable Hollywood comeback after struggling to find acting opportunities for years. He once told People magazine, “It was tough. I was waiting for the phone to ring, and it rarely did.” Quan eventually returned to the spotlight with his Oscar-winning role in ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’. He also voiced Gary De'Snake in ‘Zootopia 2’. Josh Brolin became a major movie star thanks to films like ‘No Country for Old Men’ and the ‘Dune’ franchise. He is also known among younger audiences for portraying Thanos, the main villain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Corey Feldman cemented his status in Hollywood after his roles in other iconic '80s projects, such as 'Stand by Me' and 'The Lost Boys'. In 2013, he released a memoir titled ‘Coreyography: A Memoir’, where he opened up about several traumatic experiences he had as a child star.
