Yeah, Slater never really garnered the popular vote from the public did he? I think his work in films such as this, True Romance, Bed Of Roses, and even the John Woo flick Broken Arrow showcased his versatility, but (perhaps it was his personal problems) he never caught the imagination of many directors. He never struck me as the most appealing leading man, to be honest, although after Pump Up The Volume I would have said different – he lacked the charming good looks of your typical "star" and was probably even shorter than Tom Cruise, so he has had to work hard to garner the career he has, I'd say.

Although, his cameo in Austin Powers was hilarious.
