LESS THAN ZERO Clip - Julian's Death (1987) Robert Downey Jr.
PLOT: Clay (Andrew McCarthy) comes home to Los Angeles after his first semester of college and encounters some disturbing developments. His former lover, burgeoning model Blair (Jami Gertz), has begun to abuse cocaine. But her addiction pales in comparison to the drug dependency of her new boyfriend, Julian (Robert Downey Jr.), who's also Clay's childhood buddy. Clay tries to help them get sober, but the process is complicated by Rip (James Spader), a callous dealer Julian is indebted to.
Release date: November 6, 1987 (USA)
Director: Marek Kanievska
CAST: Robert Downey Jr., Jami Gertz, Blair Kennedy, Andrew McCarthy, Clay Easton, James Spader, Michael Bowen

Saw this movie at 16 and I left the theaters fearing any sort of drug addiction. Downey wasn't just acting...he had amazing people in his life who cared enough to save him and get him clean. He is amazing.

Andrew was such an underrated actor in the 80's!! Great movie!!!

@Meriale46 2 жыл бұрын

No, he wasn't... I grew up in the 80s and Andrew McCarthy was an accomplished actor by the mid-80s starring in numerous films such as St.Elmo's Fire, Pretty in Pink, Weekend at Bernie's, Weekend at Bernie's II, Mannequin, Class, and Fresh Horses...and of course Less than Zero. His career was on fire in the 80s and he was every bit as famous as Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, and Judd Nelson, as well as Keefer Sutherland. If you grew up in the 80s you knew exactly who Andrew McCarthy was and who he still is. Though he slowed down the number of movie roles he took in the 90s he still acted and the early 2000s. Not at any time during the 80s was Andrew McCarthy an "underrated" actor as you put it and anyone who thinks it wasn't around during their era to see it.

This might be really weird. Well it is..really weird.. I always love 80s and 90s feel movies. I was born in 88. Theres a few movies I remember scenes from when my mom would watch them, my mom only ever watches movies once. And this movie scene always stuck with me. And I have no idea who the actors were or what the movie was called. I just had this thought. That I think I remember the guy looked like a young robert d jr. And I knew his name was julian in the movie so I imdbd it and saw he played a character julian. And here is the scene I've remembered for years and years.. in my memory the scene was nighttime in a parking lot. Why this scene and why would a lightning bolt thought come into my head like that and for this? So weird! Now theres just one more movie I need to find from only remembering a few things..
