What Ever Happened to the Child Actors


Anyone know whatever happened to the child actors they used? Be nice to be able to hear what they think now of their job in teh film.

Those damned eyes still haunt me; in the book they were golden I think....

In 2004 they had a reunion back in the village it was filmed in. They showed the film in a local hall, and the actors had a little Q & A session.

"I am Jack's colon."
"I get cancer. I kill Jack."

Martin Stephens who played David became an architect if I recall. I read it on an internet newspaper article. I'm sure it's still available somewhere, search for the names of the actors and something will turn up for sure.

right, you are. he grew up to be not very attractive, hence limiting his opportunities . but, he did make several other films, most notably playing "miles" in "the innocents" with deborah kerr and great british child star pamela franklin. "the innocents" is a truly creepy ghost story taken from classic literature - "the turn of the screw" by henry james, i think?

the gentleman that helmed the masterpiece that is "edward penishands", its sequels, and countless other hardcore porn flicks is one of the village children in this. how funny.
