Josh Brolin’s First Lead Role Was as a Skateboarding Heartthrob in This Cheesy but Underseen ’80s Movie

1985’s The Goonies jump-started the long-lasting careers of Sean Astin, Ke Huy Quan, and Josh Brolin. The latter actor found success well into his 40s after his critically acclaimed performance in No Country for Old Men and now headlines Zack Cregger’s new thriller, Weapons. Success was not an easy road for Brolin early in his career when he followed up TheGoonies with the rock and roll skater-themed drama Thrashin’.
