Brendan Ward as Charlie

What else has he been in? Why isn't he even credited in the list of actors in IMDB for this movie Taps? He was key to the plot. Why doesn't IMBD even list him as an actor on their search engine?

No idea who that is, but my gut tells me maybe he was the ugly freckle faced kid who got shot? Or his best friend, the little wiener kid?

EDIT: I finally watched this again last weekend, for the first time since 1982. (It was one of the first movies we rented when we got our first VCR.) Funny how your memory gets @#$%ed up over time. The ugly freckle faced kid didn't get shot, it was Charlie who got shot because of him. Charlie... the little wiener kid. So whatever happened to this Brendan Ward?

Thanks for sharing that link. What an impressive resume'! He's done extraordinarily well in an intellectual and artistic career. You woouldn't have thought it to look at him at the age of 13. He's 45 now and lives in East Windsor, CT.

You're welcome. I just watched the movie again last night. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was in junior high.

The Brendan Ward on IMDB is not the actor from Tap. If you read it right it
lists Brendan Ward 1 and he is a writer who wrote Maude, a long-ago tv show.
Unfortunately, they did put the "actor" part of the kid in the movie.
