The Robert Rusler Interview "Thrashin'"

Actor Robert Rusler (Weird Science, Thrashin’, Shag, Vamp) was a big part of some our favorite 80's films. We were beyond stoked to have him on the show to discuss his time as the love interest of Phoebe Cates in Shag, his role as the dynamic leader of the notorious skate crew, the Daggers (and enemy of Josh Brolin) in Thrashin', and of course, as a bully in the John Hughes film that launched his career, Weird Science.

Robert is candid about how sobriety saved his life and how gratitude, love and joy changed his perspective and allowed him to see beyond regret. He shares how important his relationship with Robert Downey Jr. has always been, since meeting on the set of Weird Science, the wisdom RDJ taught him about auditioning and life, and how close they remain to this day.
