Judd Nelson
Along with Sheedy, Judd Nelson was an integral member of the “Brat Pack” crew from this time period. The Maine native also starred along Sheedy in The Breakfast Club as the troubled John Bender. The ferocity he brought to the role led to Nelson starring in films all throughout the decade. He worked alongside some heavy-hitters in the industry (Robert De Niro, Willem Dafoe, Rob Lowe, Nic Cage). Did Nelson maintain that type of momentum heading into the new millennium?
Nelson has steadily acted throughout his career and into the current time. His last role came in the Lifetime film Girl in the Basement (2021). Among his more prominent roles, we’ve seen Nelson in Airheads, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Billionaire Boys Club, CSI: NY, Las Vegas, Psych, and Two and a Half Men. Formerly engaged to Shannen Doherty, Nelson is said to live a very active life in Los Angeles.
