My mom and dad, my brother and I were extras in Eddie and the Cruisers. I had just turned 13 during the filming in May, 1982. I hung out at Tony Mart's during the filming and one cold, rainy day, my mom and I knocked on the door of Michael's RV. Someone answered the door and we asked to meet Michael. Michael came outside, all smiles and very welcoming, shook our hands and my mom took a polaroid of us in front of his RV. He even signed the back of the photos. I wonder if he still remembers that. I couldn't believe he would take the time to come out and meet us like he did. My mom and I were both star struck and he seemed so humble; a genuinely nice person. I'll never forget that.

This is a cool interview man. Michael Pare’ is truly an underrated actor that should’ve been a a bigger star today. He’s great.
@JoeR203 10 ай бұрын
His speaking voice is a match for John Cafferty's singing voice. That's what made it believable that Michael was singing the songs in Eddie & The Cruisers.

I saw Eddie And The Cruisers the night it opened in 1983. My sister, brother in law and I were Springsteen fans and we saw the trailer when we saw the Richard Gere remake of Breathless. We thought Bruce Springsteen had done the soundtrack. Later, I found out it was The Beaver Brown Band. I knew of them since 1979 when they would play at the Cape Cod Casino. They were just called Beaver Brown at the time and were known as a Bruce Springsteen tribute band. I also owned an Eddie And The Cruisers sleeveless t shirt with the group hanging around the car with the logo below and on the back it said 1964 US tour with mock tour dates.

"Eddie and the Cruisers" is one of my favorite movies, musical or otherwise. The story is so great, about a reporter trying to solve a mystery about a presumed-dead legendary rock star. Michael played Eddie so well, that I believed him completely as the character, and was a little saddened later on to learn he didn't sing in the movie. Still, I enjoy both movies, and their soundtracks very much. Thanks so much for posting this Q&A - it was lots of fun to watch.
