Born in the same year, the two Jewish[1] actors appeared in many films together, most notably a number of successful teen-oriented films in the late 1980s. Feldman starred in Gremlins, The Goonies, Stand By Me, and Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter while Haim starred in Silver Bullet and Lucas before being joined together in the movie The Lost Boys in 1987.
