Sean Astin

Sean Astin

Highest Rated: 100% The Man in the White Van (2023)

Lowest Rated: 10% Bad Kids of Crestview Academy (2017)

Birthday: Feb 25, 1971

Birthplace: Santa Monica, California, USA

While many of Hollywood's young stars hit their peak before the age of 13, Sean Astin took his time building an acting career, choosing to focus on parts that would have a lasting impact. He portrayed characters that defied expectations and created cult-like followings. He played the role of Mikey Walsh, a fun-seeking teenager in "The Goonies" (1985) where he cried out, "Holy Mackenzie!" He was equally lovable as the very loyal hobbit Samwise Gamgee in the epic trilogy, "Lord of the Rings" (2001, 2002, 2003). But perhaps one of his most memorable performances was that of the title role in "Rudy" (1993), in which he played a young man who, against all odds, fulfilled a childhood dream of playing for Notre Dame. Due in no small part to a charming onscreen persona and an inner strength and sensibility, Astin managed to escape many of the traps his fellow child stars of that era fell victim to, establishing himself as a respected adult actor.
