TMNT 1990 cast. Then & now.

Nothing major, but a cool read.

The good part about "nothing major" is that fly-by-night fans should understand this easily, and I recommend this to them.

Judith Hoag, Josh Pais, Robbie Rist, Brian Tochi, Sam Rockwell, and James Saito all still look great today and continue to produce quality work. Elias Koteas may not be what he was, but its good to see him still working, and of course Corey Feldman with his return to TMNT. We should be proud how so many of the actors continue to support compared to other franchises, which often have more severe problems.

That was really great to read...thank you for sharing that.

Just to add on a couple-

Chief Sterns-Raymond Serra passed away in 2003.
Tatsu-Toshishiro Obata is still in LA teaching swordsmanship.

Kewl read...

...R.I.P. Chief Sterns......didn't know about that.

Josh Pais was also in Scream 3, as a smart-mouth detective.

Not from the first film, but François Chau, the actor who played Shredder in Secret of the Ooze, has a tendency to pop up everywhere. If you ever watched Lost, you'd recognize him as Dr. Chang, the man who appears in all of the Dharma videos, as well as playing a somewhat significant(ish) role in the fifth season. If you've seen the trailers for 21 and Over, you'll also spot him as one of the main characters' father, also named Dr. Chang.

Here he is in 2011 (according to wikipedia)

He's like the real master of the Foot Clan now :tgrin:


Recently I've seen "Showdown in Little Tokyo" (with Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren) in which he had a role as the villain's thug, filmed the year after he did the first TMNT movie. I was expecting the Shredder to appear during the whole movie :P.

I saw Serra in a gangster movie called Wannabes a while back. He was great.

I'll have to check that out. It's funny how high his real voice is. I never realized they dubbed him as a kid.

April is still elegant tbh. What happened to Elias though?

I love that Tatsu is teaching swordsmanship, so movie-life like.

RIP Chief Stern..

Guitar_Raph 02-18-2013 07:33 PM

Interesting. Wonder if Michael Turney has a Facebook page?

He's kept a consistent, albeit low profile, career. He turns up a lot in horror movies and occasionally he'll play a cop, like in Zodiac and Let Me In. But, the last time I remember seeing his caveman hair was when he played the demon possessed serial killer in Fallen. :tlol:

frank_one 02-19-2013 01:28 PM

He had a small role in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island (2010).

***First of Two Latin Kings*** 02-19-2013 04:45 PM

Does anyone know what Raymond Serra died from?

Konchadunga 02-22-2013 09:06 PM

Elmo is a sex-offender?! Oh God; why?! :cry:

TMNT is cooler than MOTU 02-23-2013 12:49 PM

I had no clue that cousin Oliver was the voice of Michelangelo.:teek:

joetheripper 02-23-2013 12:55 PM

nice find. good lil read!

JoshDA7X 02-23-2013 01:04 PM

Sam Rockwell has done well for himself! If you havn't seen Moon, I highly recommend it!

Zulithe 02-23-2013 01:07 PM

Pretty cool. I hope the upcoming TMNT film can at least hold a candle to the greatness of the first film. It may just be a kid's film, but it was better than it had any right to be. Maybe in 20 or 25 years we'll all be reading an article like this one on our VR headsets about the 2014 Bay-produced film :P

Where do you guys see Megan Fox in 20-25 years? :P

BubblyShell22 02-23-2013 03:54 PM

Elias also played a gunman who shoots Dr. House in an episode of House, M.D. It was called "No Reason."
