Judd Nelson

Actor · Since 1985
An American actor born in Portland, Maine, Judd Nelson became a defining face of 1980s youth cinema. He played the rebel John Bender in John Hughes's 'The Breakfast Club' (1985) and appeared in 'St. Elmo's Fire' (1985), making him a charter member of the so-called Brat Pack. He later worked steadily in film and television, including the series 'Suddenly Susan'. Forever associated with his sneering, iconic teenage rebel, he remains a nostalgic emblem of a generation of coming-of-age films.
