Cast Reunions 2012: Bonus Portraits

Drew Barrymore, Steven Spielberg, and Henry Thomas

”I have a really profound memory of everything. E.T. feels like it was a couple years ago. It seems in some ways a lifetime ago, but not in the memory department…. I loved taking care of E.T. I loved how much I felt nurtured and safe with these gentlemen. It was a really perfect environment, and I was just happy every day.” —Barrymore

Anthony Michael Hall, Dana Barron, Beverly D’Angelo, and Chevy Chase

”We have this standing thing, like ‘We gotta go into Warner Bros. and pitch another movie!’ ‘Yeah, let’s do it!’ And then we’ll go — ‘Who’s the head of ­Warner Bros. now?’ ‘I don?t know. What are you doing on Saturday?”’ —D’Angelo

Marcia Cross, Grant Show, Laura Leighton, and Heather Locklear

”I thought it was funny that when the apartment exploded there was a cell phone in my boot that I could use to call for help. We all survived and then moved back in there, as if there was no other place we could live. We all hated each other, but we still mingled at the pool. Somebody move already!” —Locklear

Eric Stoltz and Mary Stuart Masterson

”All anyone says to me a quarter of a century later is ‘I love that part where you get the earrings!’ It’s so weird! [Laughs] That ­materialistic aspect is not who Watts is.” —Masterson

Stacey Dash, Breckin Meyer, Donald Faison, Alicia Silverstone, Justin Walker, and Elisa Donovan

”I was in a really dry spell careerwise. I blew through any money I made as a kid doing commercials. I lived above a garage and I had no heat, no hot water, and a mattress on the floor. I had to skateboard over to Seth Green?s house to take showers and wash my clothes. When I went in to audition, I lifted from my favorite people — Sean Penn from Fast Times and Keanu Reeves in Bill & Ted’s ­Excellent ­Adventure. It seemed like every young actor in town was up for a part. I remember ­seeing ­Jeremy Sisto in there and thinking, ”Damn!” He was a real up-and-coming guy — a real Robert Pattinson type.” —Meyer

Mark Harmon, Ed Begley, Jr., Howie Mandel, and David Morse

”The writers loved messing with the characters, and I was never anything but excited by how they messed with the characters. I gained a huge appreciation for the ­written word, and I’ve carried that forward [into everything] since.” —Harmon

Dennis Quaid, Dennis Christopher, Daniel Stern, and Jackie Earle Haley

”When it came out, I remember driving to a ­theater in Westwood with my brother [Randy] and his girlfriend, and there was a line around the block. I was like, ‘How did all these people know about this movie?’ It was shocking!” —Quaid

Rip Torn and Garry Shandling

”It was like a live show. We didn’t say, ‘Oh, I didn’t get that line right — I’d like to take that again.’ We just kept on trucking. It was very ­zestful — stressful, but zestful.” —Torn

Jeremy Bulloch, Dickey Beer, and Daniel Logan

”One guy came up to me and said, ‘Could you sign your name on my arm?’ So I signed ‘Jeremy Bulloch. Boba Fett.’ He went to the tattooist, came back, and said, ‘Look at this, Mr. Bulloch,’ and he had my name tattooed on him. It was sizzling flesh! Maybe in a few years’ time he thinks, ‘Uh-oh, I’ve gone off Star Wars. Now how am I going to get this Jeremy Bulloch autograph off my arm?”’ —Bulloch
