      ​​​@@darrenhirst9900, yeah distinctive voice and iconic presence. His line from Risky Business is really what what sets the film in motion. A powderkeg of declaration to push Tom Cruise's character out of his comfort zone and take a chance. ''Sometimes you gotta say what the f*ck''.

    One observation about the Booger character was that even though he's an outsider to the Nerds, he wasn't an outcast by them.
    The Nerds accepted Booger for who he was without question.

    Loved his acting in Better Off Dead as Charles De Mar. Quotes from Charles, "I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy. I know high school girls.", "This is pure snow! It's everywhere! Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?", "He snorts nasal spray? Know where I can score some?", and my favorite, "Ah, come on! It's Christmas Eve! I could be home right now, drinking this *monster* eggnog my brother makes with lighter fluid."

    I feel like Curtis was playing tons of other characters in other 80s classic movies where his character just happened to be in another side of town whenever the cameras were rolling. However he could've easily popped into frame at any moment and joined in on the craziness : )
    I could've sworn he was in at least another one of those Savage Steve Holland 80s comedies. Surely he could've popped into Ferris Buehler's Day Off at some point too for example : )
