Emilio Estevez
Emilio Estevez rose to fame during the ‘80s. He was a member of the Brat Pack, a group of young actors that included Demi Moore, Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy. He became a legitimate star following the release of “The Breakfast Club.” He played Andrew, a high school jock who has trouble thinking for himself.
Unlike many other members of the Brat Pack, Estevez enjoyed continued success during the ‘90s thanks to his involvement in “The Mighty Ducks” franchise. In the early 2000s, he took a step back from acting and began spending more time behind the camera. In recent years, he has mostly worked as a director, directing television shows like “Cold Case,” “CSI: NY” and “Close to Home.” In addition, he also wrote, directed and produced the film “Bobby,” which starred an ensemble cast that included Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins and Lindsay Lohan. Producing the film nearly bankrupted him because it didn’t make enough at the box office to cover production costs.
