Uh, I got this from the network.We've all heard the term "one hit wonder" regarding rock groups, but in movies has there ever been a bigger one-hit wonder than Robert Romanus?
A huge role in a seminal, cultural phenomenon type of movie....and then nothing.

You know to whom he's related, yes?Hint: Sopranos.
EDIT: You NAMED the Sopranos guy... "Robert" played Damone.

While Sean Penn and Phoebe Cates (well parts of her anyway), get all the credit, its Romanus and Reinhold that really make this movie great IMO.

"Well Mr. Hand, seeing how you're here and we're here, doesn't make it OUR time?" ...love it and still use variations of this phrase.

D'oh.I corrected my mistake.Robert, not Richard. Richard was from the Sopranos.

To address your original point, Robert would have always been stereotyped as the "5-point plan" guy.
BTW, did you ever see Richard in "Mean Streets?" He was really good. David Proval (Richie Aprile) was also in it.

Classic Pac10 flick...we were wearing checkered vans five years before the rest of the country.
Please go back to pimping your crappy conference in the BCS threads.

Good point, but mmm...Phoebe Cates. She helped me find out what my "special purpose" was for.
Encyclopedia Brown

Don't recall Richard, but certainly remember Proval as the bartender.On a sidenote, Proval was an acting teacher and one of his assignments was Eddie Murphy for "48 Hours", specifically the scene where Eddie walks into the redneck bar and has to take control. Eddie was having a lot of trouble getting through that scene and it was Proval who guided him through it.

Chris Penn
Ilan Mitchell-Smith
Eric Stoltz
Lea Thompson
Jenny Wright
Rick Moranis
Sherilyn Fenn
Hart Bochner
Music by Eddie Van Halen
Distributed by Universal Pictures
Release date(s) September 28, 1984

Plot Summary
Three wild teenagers lving in the suburbs of Los Angeles are big time party animals who love to be wild. Bill (played by Eric Stoltz), just graduated from high school and just got his first apartment. His younger brother Jim (played by Ilan Mitchell-Smith), is a kid who likes to use pipe bombs to blow up things, especially a statue at the high school. Tom (played by Chris Penn), is a really crazy teen. Anita (played by Lea Thompson), is a girl who works at a donut shop, while her good friend Eileen (played by Jenny Wright) works at a trendy department store. Anita has a fling with a cop named David (played by Hart Bochner), who, unknown to Anita, is married. The three boys set out for a night of fun and craziness at a strip bar and later on have a party at Bill's apartment and from there the night gets really wild and crazy.
Trivia:
Writer Cameron Crowe's wife, Nancy Wilson (of Heart fame) appears in the film as the wife of the cop, David. She also appeared in the 1982 hit comedy film Fast Times at Ridgemont High, also written by Cameron Crowe.
Art Linson stepped in as director when the original director dropped out and Universal Pictures told him to find someone else quick, or the film would be canceled.
Eddie Van Halen's original score included pieces that later evolved into Right Now, A.F.U. (Naturally Wired), Good Enough, and Feels So Good on later Van Halen records.
"The Wild Life" theme song was performed by British female trio Bananarama.
Rolling Stone Ron Wood does a quick cameo during the house party scene. He busts through the door with other partiers and heads straight for the fridge.

I didn't know Crowe wrote "The Wild Life." What a God-awful film that was. They tried to catch-phrase Christopher Penn into stardom and failed miserably. Truly wretched film.

I think the movie studio sent a dump truck full of money to Crowe's doorstep and said "Just give us whatever half-completed student scriptwriting project that you've got."[/Cop control]

Took a class on this movie in college. It's great to watch it right after viewing Animal House and seeing Fast Times rebut that movie point by point.

It was a crappy movie but there were a few memorable lines. "Did you say Klineman or Mosely?"
