| 3 | Judd Asher Nelson (born November 28, 1959 in Portland, Maine) is one of the actors commonly associated with the Creator/BratPack group of teen movie stars in TheEighties. He famously played Bender in classic teen movie ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. Also appeared in ''Film/StElmosFire'', ''Series/SuddenlySusan'', ''Film/NewJackCity'', ''Film/CabinByTheLake'', and [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie is responsible for the destruction of Unicron]]. His career waned in the Nineties, attributed by some in Hollywood to his personality, which they claimed was difficult to get along with. |

| 5 | !!This actor provides examples of: |
| 6 | * EnforcedMethodActing: Frequently reduced Creator/MollyRingwald (his co-star in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'') to tears when in character as Bender. Writer-director Creator/JohnHughes was obviously not happy about this and actually almost fired Nelson, when Paul Gleason, ironically playing Nelson's on-screen nemesis, Principal Vernon, intervened on his behalf. He was also almost arrested at a laundromat when he approached a woman in character in the same role, only getting off when he explained to the cops that he was an actor. |

| 8 | * PlayingAgainstType: He played an utterly irredeemable SerialKiller in ''Film/CabinByTheLake''. |

| 10 | * RomanceOnTheSet: After filming the TV movie ''Blindfold: Acts of Obsession'' with Creator/ShannenDoherty, the two got engaged. |

| 12 | * YoungerThanHeLooks: Even today, he tends to play characters significantly younger than his actual age. |
