John Dukakis ('Polo') JAWS 2 45th Anniversary Interview

[@esteeb67]

I had no idea the son of our former governor was an actor and in one of my favorite movies. Nice interview!

[@intertubicular]

Yup. Michael and Kitty Dukakis of Massachusetts, although he was adopted by Michael Dukakis. John was not blood related to Michael.

[@KathrynBeland]

I saw this in theater. I had the biggest crush on him. 😍 Everyone else was fighting over Mike and Larry, but he was the one for me. I always watch Jaws and Jaws II back to back. 🦈 ⛵️

[@patricklena9307]

These interviews I'm sure are on the upcoming 4k release of jaws 2. They are absolutely fascinating from what I've seen so far.

[@1165mac]

They’re not on the new 4K release, but should have been. They are just as good or better than what was carried over from the old Blu-ray release.

[@gopmomof2]

I was about 14 or 15 when this came out. My best friend and I saw it twice at movie theater. As a person in a previous comment said, I had such a big crush on him! We didn't have the internet back then so I didn't know a whole lot about him. I do remember seeing him on Little House on the Prairie. Some people change so much as they get older that you may not recognize them but he still looks basically the same. Still handsome!😊😍

[@johnfurface]

He’s the son of Michael Dukakis - then Governor of Massachusetts and the Democratic Party’s nominee for President in 1988!

[@chiefscheider]

Michael adopted him. His biological father is John Chaffetz

[@johnfurface]

@@chiefscheider And John decided to take his adoptive father’s surname that speaks volumes

[@anotherway007]

Has happened various times it seems.... Children of high profile military, political figures get into entertainment industry

[@zackq8865]

Adoptive son yeah. His mother remarried when he was 5 years old.

[@johnmcnulty1129]

" Don't you worry Chief, it won't be permanent ! You wanna see something, permanent ?" Sad, but important lesson for everyone, from most of the JAWS 2 cast here. Don't lay in the fierce heat of the sun's radiation for hours on end, even amplifying it with a reflector, to get that 'dream' tan. RIP Roy Scheider

Great work - Loved Jaws and Jaws 2 Movies ❤

[@louiswetzel5038]

Happy Birthday!!!!!! Great interview.......

[@davidprice6994]

great interview and very enjoyable

[@nilsfearon1]

Definitely the sexiest cast member. Apart from the shark 🦈

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

I loved Polo! He was so cute and smooth - he seemed older than the other kids.

[@chadchesney3858]

Nice interview👍. Just discovered your Chan here. Love it. Sooo glad u asked him about THE SCENE with the sled shark. To me the second best shark shot in the entire franchise. Second only to the Jaws full front assault where Bruce lands on the boat. That’s tops of course.

[@intertubicular]

I was 11 years old when Jaws 2 came out. Just like the first Jaws movie my dad took me to see it because it was PG 13. It was a great movie, but I have to say. the original Jaws was the best and the shark was much more realistic looking. I however loved both movies! Great interview. Thanks for sharing.

[@cooperbourke7717]

He has aged excellently

[@donnosborne9723]

Great movie I was 6 years old when it came out it was a big movie back then

[@dunebasher1971]

Is Polo even identified by name in the movie?

[@PungiFungi]

The Polo character was odd. I don't think we saw him at all in the movie until the bar scene where we are also introduced to Patrick and Lucy.

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

It’s possible there were more scenes featuring certain characters that were cut from the final print.

[@gopmomof2]

A shame because he was the hottest tho Mark Gruner wasn't far behind.

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

Marc Gilpin (Sean) passed away on July 29, just a few days ago. 😢

[@melissajenkins9960]

Happy Birthday 🎉

[@1223steffen]

He played a villain on little house

[@jimmyo1123]

He played jeff mallorys bf on family ties

[@danielupsdell2697]

What was his name

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

Yes! And then Mallory visited Jeff at college where she finds out he’s cheating on her.

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

@@danielupsdell2697He played Mallory’s boyfriend Jeff for a while. Then he cheats on her at college so she dumps him.

[@aceman3577]

There's only one person you didn't interview that was Donna Wilkes I wonder what she does today

[@ca22499]

Or Marc Gruner

[@chiefscheider]

What about Timmy, Larry Jr, Marge, Lucy, Sean, Doug...

[@AsYourCruiseDirector]

I love to see Mark Gruner interviewed, mostly because his character Clark Tyson is the reason Jan Brady invented her imaginary boyfriend, George Glass. 😂

[@cc_1983]

Polo and Bob pulling Mike out of the water is so underrated. The only thing that ruined it was the shark looked too rubbery they could have avoided that.

[@christopher_amor_02_animat79]

It's Timmy not Bob who with Polo pulls Mike but otherwise yeah I agree re. the shark etc! Not only that but as as just as it passes you can also see clearly the piston in the shark's mouth!

[@vibeofthee80s_]

I remember Dukakis going up against Bush in 88 11/6/23
