He went to UCLA for law school, graduating in 2000, and at the age of 27 he co-founded his own Beverly Hills firm, Cohen & Gardner.

He graduated from UC Berkeley and, after summer jobs at movie studios and an internship in the legal department at Universal (Cohen credits Richard Donner for mentoring him and making phone calls along the way), decided to pursue entertainment law.

Along with his iconic role in The Goonies, Cohen did some TV ( Ask Max, Family Ties, the Disney Channel movie Perfect Harmony) and then went on to a career in a different part of the biz. In hindsight, the lovable Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen wasn't really all that chunky, but such were the mid-'80s. Hardly, but a dose of self-deprecatory humor is always in fashion too. Talking about The Goonies, his first-ever job, on Conanin 2012, Brolin said, "It's just one of those things that every generation-I've got 7-year-olds now who are like, 'oh my god', Sloth' and I'm like, 'I'm not Sloth! I was the older brother, I understand, I'm gnarly now, the beard and all that.'" Brolin and wife Kathryn Boyd, whom he married in 2016, have two daughters, Westlyn Reign, 3, and Chapel Grace, 18 months. He has two children from his first marriage to Alice Adair, after which he was married to Diane Lane from 2004 until 2013. They too are seeing the result, it’s tremendous.Several decades before he snapped his fingers and made half of Earth's population disappear, the son of actor James Brolin got his own start playing Brandon Walsh (yes, Brandon Walsh), the cool and exasperated but also protective and big-hearted big brother of Mikey, whose determination to find One-Eyed Willie's lost treasure sets the action in motion.īrolin went on to do a few (dozen) movies, including Flirting With Disaster, Mimic, No Country for Old Men (which won the Best Picture Oscar and reinvigorated his career), American Gangster, W., Milk (he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Harvey Milk's killer, Dan White), Jonah Hex, True Grit, Sicario and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, cloaked in CGI as mega-villain Thanos. Most recently, he starred in the Dune remake and fronted Amazon Prime Video's sci-fi western Outer Range. I don’t think they realized just how much joy it would bring until they actually shot it.
“From there, everybody just wanted to be a part of it, and it was remarkable. “One by one, they all said yes,” the Frozen star told Entertainment Tonight in April 2020 after hosting a virtual reunion with the cast. While showing his children his favorite movies during the coronavirus pandemic, superfan Josh Gad made it his mission to reunite the Goonies one more time. Over the years, the energy behind the film has never faded. “It’s just one of those things … you know, I have 7-year-olds now that are like, ‘Oh my god! Sloth!’ And I’m like, ‘I’m not Sloth! I was the older brother!'” “I love it because it’s been - well, it’s 28 years ago that I did it,” the Sicario actor said during a May 2012 appearance on Conan. “We had a lot of young writers submit work, but it just didn’t seem to call for it.” The legendary director added that he’d later thought about taking the film in a whole new direction by “trying to get it done as a musical on Broadway.”įour years later, Brolin revealed that he’s never been able to escape the ferocious fandom of the cult classic. “We tried really hard, and Steven said, ‘Let’s do it,'” Donner explained to Variety at the time. In October 2008, the cast got together to reflect on the impact this movie made on their lives and those of fans everywhere - and even admitted that they’d fought hard to make a sequel. Young actors like Sean Astin, Josh Brolin and Jeff Cohen owe their careers to the success of the quirky adventure movie, and still look back on their time filming The Goonies with love.
As their homes face foreclosure, the Goonies unite for one final weekend together - and discover a treasure map that changes everything. The action-comedy film, directed by Richard Donner, hit theaters in June 1985 and follows the adventures of a group of kids from the Goon Docks area of Astoria, Oregon, who call themselves the Goonies. Never say die! The Goonies may have debuted more than 30 years ago, but its legacy will live in the hearts of viewers forever.
