'The Goonies' Cast: Where Are They Now?

See what the cast of this classic have been up to since the film premiered almost 40 years ago

The Goonies stars are all grown up!

The '80s classic has lived in the hearts of many moviegoers, even nearly four decades after its theatrical debut. In fact, it's remained such a beloved film that Warner Bros. is rereleased the film in theaters in September 2023 to celebrate the studio's 100-year anniversary.

Though persistent sequel rumors remain unsubstantiated, Ke Huy Quan has said he would "be open" to stepping back into the character if the opportunity arose.

"There was not one [script] that I felt could live up to what the original was," he explained in 2023. "Sadly, we lost the captain of our ship [director Richard Donner], who I love dearly, and I really don't know if there will be Goonies 2, but I would be open to reliving that character if there is that opportunity."

So, while a reboot might not be on the horizon just yet, here's a look at what Quan and the cast of The Goonies is up to these days.

Sean Astin: Mikey

After playing the main protagonist, Mikey, Sean Astin went on to work steadily in Hollywood.

He starred in other '90s hits such as Encino Man and Rudy, but perhaps his best-known role was playing Sam in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

In 2017, Astin went back to his teenage adventure roots and appeared in the second and third seasons of Netflix's Stranger Things. He also voices several characters on the streaming service's Epic Tales of Captain Underpants in Space franchise. Most recently he appeared in multiple episodes of The Conners and lent his voice to 2024's Man and Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps.

He married Christine Harrell in 1992 and the pair have three daughters.

Ke Huy Quan: Data

Post-Goonies life wasn't easy for Ke Huy Quan, who spent the last three decades trying to make his way back in front of the camera. He starred in the show Head of the Class from 1990 to 1991 and appeared in 1992's Encino Man, but was ultimately forced to quit acting due to lack of opportunity for Asian actors.

"It was tough," he told PEOPLE. "I was waiting for the phone to ring, and it rarely did."

However, the tide turned for the actor in 2022 when his second big break came with Everything Everywhere All at Once alongside Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis and Stephanie Hsu. Quan swept awards season 2023, taking home the Golden Globe, SAG Award and Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Most recently, he's appeared in the Disney series American Born Chinese as well as Loki and in 2024 voiced the character of Han in Kung Fu Panda 4.

Josh Brolin: Brand

Josh Brolin has had a steady stream of roles since the film premiered in 1985.

You may know him as Thanos in the Marvel films, but Brolin has also had roles in critically acclaimed films such as No Country For Old Men (2007) which was nominated for an Oscar. He was also nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Dan White in Milk.

Brolin has had other notable performances in films such as W. (2008) in which he portrayed George W. Bush, Inherent Vice (2014), Sicario (2015) and Hail, Caesar! (2016), among others.

More recently, Brolin appeared both of the Dune films and in 2024 announced the release of an upcoming memoir titled From Under the Truck where he'll touch on his early role in Goonies.

The actor has a son and daughter, Eden and Trevor, from his first marriage to actress Alice Adair plus two daughters, Westlyn and Chapel, with his wife, Kathryn Boyd Brolin.

Corey Feldman: Mouth

Feldman already had a thriving career as a child actor by the time he played Mouth in The Goonies, with credits in Friday the 13th: A New Beginning (1984), Gremlins (1984), and the TV series Madame's Place (1982), among others.

After The Goonies, Feldman went on to star in other blockbuster coming-of-age films. He was in The Lost Boys (1987) alongside Corey Haim, Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland and Stand By Me which also starred River Phoenix, Kiefer Sutherland, Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell.

In 2013, Feldman released a book, Coreyography: A Memoir which chronicled his turbulent life as a child star, including the sexual abuse he and Haim allegedly suffered at the hands of men in the industry.

"There are people that did this to me and Corey that are still working, they're still out there and they're some of the most rich and powerful people in this business. And they do not want what I'm saying right now. They want me dead," he told The View while promoting the book.

His recent credits include a music video for his song "Without U," and a part in a film titled Sour Party.

Jeff Cohen: Chunk

Between those chubby cheeks and his famous truffle shuffle, it was hard to not fall in love when Chunk came on screen.

However, Jeff Cohen, who played the memorable character in The Goonies, was pretty much done acting after the '80s. Following The Goonies, he voiced Francis in the series Popeye and Son (1987), and Grunt in Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School (1988).

According to IMDb, however, his last acting credit came in 1991, in the TV movie Perfect Harmony.

Since then, Cohen has become a successful entertainment lawyer in L.A., after earning his juris doctor from the UCLA School of Law.

His career has come full circle, given the fact that he's the one who negotiated Quan's deal for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Kerri Green: Andy

As the love interest to Brand (Brolin) and Mikey (Astin), Kerri Green's Andy Carmichael was an integral player in the film. Since The Goonies, however, Green has only been in a handful of other films.

She starred in Lucas (1986) and Three for the Road (1987) opposite Charlie Sheen. Over the years, she's also made appearances in several TV shows, most notably ER, Mad About You and In the Heat of the Night.

Her last acting credit is listed for a 2012 film titled Complacent on IMDb. These days, she reportedly works behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, is a mom of two and occasionally appears at fan conventions — as well as on Cameo!

Martha Plimpton: Stef

Plimpton's role as the no-nonsense Stef Steinbrenner was her first foray into film.

Following the success of The Goonies, she, like Brolin, also went on to have a steady career in Hollywood. Plimpton starred in The Mosquito Coast (1986) and Running on Empty (1988), but she's found major success in television, starring in shows such as ER, How to Make It in America and The Real O'Neals.

Plimpton won the Emmy for guest actress in a drama series for her role as Patti Nyholm on CBS' The Good Wife and was nominated for lead actress in a comedy series for FOX's Raising Hope.

Since then, Plimpton has continued working and in 2024 appeared alongside Kate Winslet in the miniseries The Regime.

In 2012, Plimpton co-founded A is For, an organization dedicated to ending the stigma against abortion care. In 2022, she co-hosted the Broadway Acts for Abortion benefit concert event, a fundraiser dedicated to abortion rights.

John Matuszak: Sloth

Prior to playing Sloth, Matuszak had a full-fledged career as an NFL player. The 6-ft.-8-in. lovable giant was the first overall pick in the 1973 NFL draft. He played for the Kansas City Chiefs and Washington Commanders before finishing off his career with the Oakland Raiders — with whom he won two Super Bowls.

Before being in The Goonies, Matuszak also starred in The North Dallas Forty (1979) and The Ice Pirates (1984). After The Goonies, he was in what would be his last film, One Crazy Summer (1986) and wrote an autobiography, Cruisin' with the Tooz, which was published in 1987.

Matuszak died in 1989 after to an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. He was 38.

Joe Pantoliano: Francis Fratelli

Pantoliano played one half of the antagonistic Fratelli brothers.

After The Goonies, he went on to have a long career as a character actor. His acting credits include appearances in mega hits Midnight Run (1988), The Fugitive (1993), Bad Boys (1995) and The Matrix (1999). In 2003, Pantoliano won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series for his role as Ralph Cifarretto on The Sopranos.

In 2020, Pantoliano reprised his role as Captain Howard in Bad Boys for Life.

These days, Pantoliano is still acting, appearing in shows such as Chucky and Tacoma FD and 2024's Bad Boys: Ride or Die.

Robert Davi: Jake Fratelli

Playing the bad guy along with Pantoliano was Robert Davi, who has also made a career playing scary dudes.

His acting chops landed him in the James Bond franchise, with the role of drug lord Frank Sanchez in License to Kill (1989). He's also appeared in Die Hard (1988), Predator 2 (1990), Showgirls (1995) and The Iceman (2012).

More recently, Davi starred in Inside Man, The Lurking Fear and portrays Leonid Brezhnev in 2024's Reagan.
