What Happened to EMILIO ESTEVEZ?

Emilio Estevez's career in Hollywood spans over four decades, with a diverse range of films that showcase his talent as an actor, writer, and director. One of his early roles was in the 1982 film Tex, where he played the lead character of Tex McCormick, a teenager who gets into trouble with the law. This film marked the beginning of Estevez's journey in the film industry, and he soon became a part of the iconic Brat Pack group alongside actors like Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, and Judd Nelson. Yet, in addition to movies like St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club, Estevez also cranked out a number of classics, like Repo Man, the Young Guns movies, Judgment Night, Freejack, The Mighty Ducks movies and so many more, before kicking off a solid directing career. So what happened to Emilio Estevez? We'll tell you!

Emilio Estevez is excelling behind the camera, not just in front of it. One of my favourite works of his is "The Way", where he directs his own father, Martin Sheen.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

The Way is such a good film. It is definitely one of his best works,

[@williamdixon-gk2sk]

There was an oral history of "The Mighty Ducks" in Time magazine back in 2014, and everyone interviewed had glowing remarks about Estevez. Estevez himself declined repeated interview requests for the article.

I always thought he was an underrated actor. You could see by the way his career fizzled out in the 90s that the whole Brat Pack thing held him back.

He said Emilio played Two-Bit, which he did. And Matt Dillon's name wasn't Tex, it was Dallas.

​@@jenisedai02:59 - if I were you, I would watch the video again. Emilio & Matt made two movies together. One right after the other. Both were based off S.E. Hinton novels. The first one was Tex. The second one was The Outsiders. Matt Dillon played the lead in Tex while Emilio Estevez played his best friend Johnny and Meg Tilly played Johnny's sister. It's a great film. You should watch it.

[@jenisedai]

@@TheNameisPlissken1981 You didn't specify, and I've had multiple people call Matt Dillon's character in The Outsiders "Tex", so it's an understandable mistake. Especially when the video spent so long on The Outsiders and about 2 seconds on Tex.

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

It's a real pity the actors of his generation aren't seen that often anymore, most of them have more acting talent in their little toes than the younger big screen stars of today that all look and sound the same. Signs of the superficial times of today, I suppose so maybe it's a blessing too because movies nowadays are just so ultra dull in every imaginable way, full of gloss but very little substance and talent to hold it all together.

I met him once. He was in a public library in Los Angeles. I just went up to him and said ''hey how you doing'' while extending my hand to shake his. He's a cool guy and so is his Dad Martin Sheen, whom I also met. I had a little bit more conversation with his Dad, but both were brief. I like to get in and get out. I don't wanna experience anything negative from any of my favorite celebs or otherwise I will never support them in any, way, shape or form.

[@VideoHeadMan]

I just watched the documentary on Hulu called Bratz about the bratpack and their rise and demise. I was really excited to see Emilio Estevez talk about things and his interview was the most lackluster. He seemed like he was the most offended by the phrase and the typecasting. I understand that, but he didn’t have to be such a jag about it him and I was hoping that this would really help propel him back into the limelight.

[@acevvvedo]

According to the BRATZ documentary (which you should have watched as part of your research) they didn't like the name because it didn't necessarily make sense and they felt the author of the article was being dismissive for no apparent reason. Also apparently they weren't necessarily friends in real life outside of them working together.

"Look, someone threw away a perfectly good white boy!" is a line that will never leave my head. If you haven't seen Men at Work- watch it!

[@Thathorrorguy12FU]

While you're at it you better watch the movie "Better off Dead". That's where the "They gone and threw away a perfect white boy." After John Cusack's character tries jumping off the bridge then he backs out and "Bugar" tells him to "Take it easy bud!" And taps his shoulder hard and he ends up falling off the bridge into the garbage truck and as he's pulling down the street in the garbage fill dump truck two black guys say that line. "Better off Dead" came out in 1984. And "Men at Work" which is a much funnier movie and a better movie. Both are great. But "Men at Work" came out in 1990 man. Same year as "Young Guns 2". They were playing the same time. Emilio directed it and his brother Carlos, a true great brother starred in it with him. But the fact that the movies came out six years apart and neither Emilio, Charlie or anyone was in John Cusack's break up movie except for Curtis Armstrong and everyone's favorite Pedo Dan Schneider, ntm Elizabeth Franklin as well, who was big back in the day. And extra fact. John Cusack's ex in the movie was the first person to get killed in the "ANOES" by Freddy in the first film of the franchise. Tiiinaa!😮 So to you my friend we all give you a big giant "Golf Clap" for your lack of movie knowledge in general. And saying it so proudly. You made my day

Emilio wrote, directed, and acted in about 7 movies. That’s pretty impressive. Theres a small contingent who appreciate “Wisdom”. I like it for it's 80's-ness. The movie is really hard to find. Emilio is pretty embarrassed of it and apparently doesn't like to talk about it. I think as an actor, his best performance was in The Breakfast Club. That monologue he does in it is really great. But I also think he kills it in 'Young Guns" as Billy the Kid. The guy was just as talented of an actor as his brother. I think it was just that he wasn't always given the opportunities in part because the 90's were that good to him and I think he wanted to make his own movies. Here's hoping that Young Guns 3 happens.
