Firestarter (1984), and recurring actors in Stephen King works
Here's another FTV for me this year, because Stephen King has so goddamn many movies out there, I still haven't even seen them all. Firestarter is a government experiment gone wrong, and those trying to get away from those damn government agents that are always trying to make a weapon out of everything.
Mark L. Lester was a busy man in the early 80s with Class of 1984, Firestarter, and Commando. Beyond the early 90s, I guess his career turned to shit with obscure titles no one's heard of.
What surprised me about this movie was the cast. There's quite a few names in there, because every big actor has worked on a King story at some point or another... and some even worked on several King stories!
Who are some actors that have been in more than 1 Stephen King film or series?
Drew Barrymore - Firestarter, Cat's Eye
Ed Harris - Creepshow, Needful Things
Jeffrey DeMunn - The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist
John Cusack AND Samuel L. Jackson - 1408, Cell
Kathy Bates - Misery, Dolores Claiborne
Martin Sheen - The Dead Zone, Firestarter
Morgan Freeman - The Shawshank Redemption, Dreamcatcher
Ron Perlman - Sleepwalkers, Desperation
Timothy Hutton - The Dark Half, Secret Window
Tom Jane - Dreamcatcher, The Mist, 1922
Tom Skeritt - The Dead Zone, Desperation
William Sadler - The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile
Am I missing any recurring actors?
