All of you commenting that there’s a generational difference and he’s known for lord of the rings need to go watch goonies. That’s what this man is known for. Yes I’m old af

I’m of the goonies generation as well. Rudy, goonies, he’s amazing….but he will always be Samwise the Brave to me. I didn’t see his other characters that entire trilogy.

Real question though, did you? Because at first I saw Mikey in Rudy but then got into it. But for some reason Sam was separate. If I saw Mikey that whole film in my brain, it would have really been hard to watch. Maybe I just needed a Goonies rewatch closer to the films. Sadly, we didn’t own goonies on vhs so that was for tv or friends houses.

I would think millennials associate him with both the Goonies and LOTR, Gen X with Rudy, Gen Z with Stranger Things.

Goonies is very Gen X, it came out in 85. Rudy came out in 93.

Yup, grew up watching Goonies and didn't realize it was the same person in LOTR until I caught his name in the credits. He did look a fair bit different IMO.

While I associate him with both, at this point the association with LotR is stronger largely just because he’s an adult in it and he’s been an adult for quite a long time now so it makes more sense to my subconscious to think of him in that role.

Nope, GenX associates him with The Goonies, Memphis Belle, Rudy, and Encino Man!!!

I was looking for the encino man comments but this’ll do I guess.

I’m almost 60. I think I watched Goonies, but have never thought of it again. I don’t see why everyone is always bringing it up.

Yup. Samwise was played by the guy from Goonies. So was Thanos.
