What does Lewis yell as he is running away? Answer: 'We love you when you're mad' Very tough question. You have to really pay attention to hear it. In order to accomplish that, what did they have to do? What is Booger's real name in the movie? Answer: Wonder joints.
What was his real name in the movie? Answer: Frederick W. Montgomery's performance turned more than a few Hollywood heads, too: while she's worked steadily in film and television over the years—including two more turns as Betty in Revenge of the Nerds sequels—the stardom that seemed certain in the wake of her Nerds breakout never quite came. But she'll always be everyone's favorite Pi Delt. But it's his scene-stealing turn as Booger in Revenge of the Nerds that remains his calling card.
You've likely heard his voice work in shows like American Dad! Still, for Nerds fans, Armstrong will forever be Booger. It's a testament to Armstrong's performance that he manages to humanize a character that essentially plays into every stereotype of male vulgarity—and that fans have identified so closely with the wise-cracking, nose-picking, mega-burping, ganja-loving rogue that helped make him famous.
To his credit, Armstrong has always embraced the passion fans hold for Booger. By the time Brian Tochi appeared as Takashi Tohiro in Revenge of the Nerds , he'd already become a well-established presence in film and television. But Revenge of the Nerds was Tochi's chance to prove himself in an "adult" role, and to say he left an impression as the language-challenged Takashi is an understatement.
Maybe you remember him learning to play poker with Booger. Maybe you remember his epic, drunken tricycle race. Whatever Takashi moment counts as your fave, it's almost impossible to think of Nerds without him.
And Tochi made the most of the moment, spinning his fame into a decades-long career. But it's Tochi's voice that's landed him the most work. We must say, it's nice to see a Nerd find his place Revenge of the Nerds is held in high regard among '80s comedies, but it doesn't get nearly enough credit for challenging social norms of the time. And no character challenged those norms more than Larry B. Scott 's openly gay Tri-Lamb Lamar.
True, he often feels like a pastiche of gay stereotypes. But the fact that the character is in the film at all is cause to take notice, and Scott brought a real unassuming humanity to the role. The role was risky. So much so that one has to admire the actor that played him—especially since Scott is not a gay man. Did we mention he's also a person of color? That's the sort of gamble that could sink a young career. These days, Scott spends his time teaching his craft to up-and-coming actors at W.
Who could forget the wide eyes and devilish grin of the precocious, preteen wunderkind who anchored a tug-of-war prank for the ages? Sure, you remember his face, but we're betting you'll have some trouble coming up with the actor's name. Don't worry, we looked it up. It's Andrew Cassese. He was just 12 years old when Revenge of the Nerds hit theaters. One can only imagine the fun he had on set for the party-hardy comedy—particularly in that up close and personal conversation with the sisters from Omega Mu.
It was at least enough for Cassese to return to the role for the first Nerds sequel, 's Nerds In Paradise , though not enough for the young star to want to keep making movies.
He all but gave up on the big screen after his Nerds days, preferring a life in the theater. He'd go on to land a degree from NYU film school in Timothy Busfield has been very busy in the 33 years since he portrayed the anxious, sight-challenged, violin-playing Arnold Poindexter. He even won an Emmy for his work on thirtysomething. Busfield's work behind the camera has taken up much of his time of late.
The actor first claimed the director's chair in his thirtysomething days, but has gone on to direct episodes of hit shows like Ed , Without a Trace , Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip , and The Night Shift. But we can't help but think one of his favorite jobs was directing his old Revenge of the Nerds co-star Robert Carradine in a one-off gig for Lizzy Maguire.
You go, Poindexter. Count Michelle Meyrink as another of the Revenge Of The Nerds stars that turned their backs on Hollywood—but she may be the one who made the most of her brief acting career as well. Meyrink has only 10 credits to her filmography , but almost all of those credits came in '80s films that are now considered classics, including The Outsiders , Valley Girl , Joy of Sex, and Real Genius.
And when Meyrink auditioned for the role of Gilbert's prescription-sharing love interest Judy, the competition was tough—she reportedly beat out Sarah Jessica Parker and Joan Cusack. While she delivered an understated, heartfelt performance in Nerds , Meyrink was less than impressed by what Hollywood had to offer female actors throughout the '80s.
So much so that she gave up acting after 's Permanent Record , became a devout Zen Buddhist, and never looked back. With so many fresh young faces breaking out in Revenge of the Nerds , it's easy to forget that the great John Goodman was also in the mix as the nerd-loathing football coach.
Prior to Nerds , Goodman had played only bit parts in B movies and little-seen TV shows; that all started to change with his spirited turn as the egomaniacal Coach Harris. Goodman's performance managed to stand out in a film full of memorable turns. A couple of years later, he landed a part in the Coen brothers' Raising Arizona , then he took TV by storm on Roseanne.
The rest, as they say, is history. We won't waste your time by listing the rest of Goodman's memorable roles ; just know that he's brought something unique to each, and in the process, has become one of the most consistently compelling performers in Hollywood. Speaking of fresh young faces, Ted McGinley 's was widely considered one of the prettiest to turn up in Revenge of the Nerds. McGinley's blonde hair, blue eyes and square jaw made him a perfect fit for villainous super-jock quarterback Stan Gable.
They provided a stark counterpoint to the awkward looks of the Tri-Lambs as well. Of course, fans of Happy Days and The Love Boat had already taken notice of McGinley's classic good looks, and he's never been shy about using them to his advantage as an actor, often undercutting his "pretty-boy" characters with sleazy smugness and ego-driven insecurities.
That combo has made McGinley an actor who can play lowbrow comedy—like in his role on Married With Children —as well as drama, as he did during his supporting turns in The West Wing and Mad Men. If you spent any time in cinemas or in front of your TV in the '80s or '90s, you're definitely familiar with the distinctive face of Mr. Donald Gibb.
