Johnny Walker
Let’s make sure we understand this correctly. The guy who played Farmer Ted in Sixteen Candles; a character that we will make a claim was the absolute geekiest of all High School related film characters, is supposed to be considered believable as the most widely recruited Quarterback in his senior year in High School?
Let’s add some more fuel to this. This is also the same guy who only a couple years before was the nerdy brain in the Breakfast Club, and had a bra on top of his head while designing the perfect girl in Weird Science.
So again we want to make sure we understand. Anthony Michael Hall who again was coming off this trifecta of geek roles was a Quarterback whose girlfriend was Uma Thurman, and whose sidekick was the future Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), who was one of his tormentors in an earlier film (Weird Science).
Nobody bought Hall in this role, and though we respect the fact he wanted to avoid being typecast, we don’t believe Farmer Ted is being recruited by any Football power in Texas.
