![]() Francis might not have the vocal talents that his brother Jake has but he was instrumental in getting Jake out of prison and into the hunt for Willy’s lost treasure.īy the time he was cast in this movie, “Joey Pants” had plenty of acting experience in several movies and TV shows, starting his career in the mid-1970s. The role of Francis Fratelli was played by Hollywood veteran actor Joe Pantoliano. He’s currently working on Disney’s action-comedy American Born Chinese, which is yet to stream online. He then had another role in the 2022 hit movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once, winning a Hollywood Critics Association Midseason Award for Best Supporting Actor. It wasn’t until 2021 when Quan got back into acting with a role in the Netflix film, Finding ʻOhana. Toward the end of that decade, he graduated from film school at USC and found more steady work as a fight choreographer. Quan then appeared in Breathing Fire and had a small role in Encino Man at that time, also continuing to work in Asia. After The Goonies, he appeared in a few Asian-produced films during the rest of the eighties and joined the cast of the sitcom Head of the Class for two seasons into the early-1990s. Just before co-starring in this movie, Quan became pretty famous in 1984 for playing “Short Round” in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Just as 007’s extra tools always seem to work in a pinch, the same is the case for Data and the rest of the Goonies during the course of the movie. Quan was cast as ‘Data,” a young technical genius whose personal gadgets featured in the film are inspired by the cinematic British superspy James Bond. He still works as an attorney and also does legal consulting for various media outlets. ![]() Cohen would then step away from acting to pursue a law degree and ultimately work as an entertainment lawyer in California. His last acting credit is for a 1991 Disney-made-for-tv movie called Perfect Harmony. After the movie, he would go on to make more TV appearances in Amazing Stories, Family Ties, and even some voice work in the animated children’s cartoon, Popeye and Son. While he did have a few small roles in popular eighties sitcoms like Webster and The Facts of Life before The Goonies, Cohen’s role as Chunk would be the most famous of his surprisingly short career. ![]() As one of the most popular characters in the movie, Jeff Cohen played Lawrence, more humorously known as “Chunk.” Providing most of the comedy in the film, including his trademark “Truffle Shuffle,” Chunk spends much of his time in the film apart from the rest of the Goonies, befriending “Sloth” on his way to rejoining the rest of his posse. ![]()
