Cult Goldmine: Chunk, Fergie, And A.C. Slater Together




I was best friends with Jeff Cohen when we were kids, but you'd probably know him by his most famous screen role - Chunk from The Goonies.

When he was making his way through the child acting trenches, he did a lot of things...a Family Ties episode, a Disney movie-of-the-week called "Ask Max", some game shows, and finally he got the big break and landed a Spielberg film and eventual cult fame. And yes, there was an episode of "Kids Incorporated" with the future Fergie and A.C. Slater.

P.S. Judah Friendlander can suck it. Jeff's schtick was funny hats - he had hundreds of strange ones that he kept in a huge pile on the top of his bunk bed. So no matter how many lame trucker cap with punny sayings Judah makes, it's old hat.
