Judd Nelson is an American actor known for his role in the ’80s cult classics The Breakfast Club, and St.Elmo’s Fire. He was part of the “Brat Pack” of the time, that included Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, and Ally Sheedy, among others. He mainly took on roles of bad boys and antiheroes. At the time, he was a star on the rise.

Judd acted in many movies over the years, but they didn’t result in box-office success. In 1996, he signed on to the comedy television series Suddenly Susan, playing Susan’s (Brooke Shields) boss. He left the show in 1999. His last movie role was in 2019’s Santa Fake (an American Christmas film) playing a character called Seb. It’s a pity he didn’t make it to A-list status as he is a really good actor.
