It’s been 17 years since one of my favorite movies was released. I was seven the first time I saw this, my step father, my mom and myself were watching this in the living room. Two things about this movie; this is the first time I ever remember shedding a tear to a movie, from the scene where the little black kids says “Oh! There you are Peter!” and that super cheese violin music starts playing. And two, Julia roberts was smoking hot in this movie, which I think has led to my obsession with short haired women. A great movie for adults and kids alike, an instant classic which holds great nostalgic value. The beauty of Peter Pan is the concept, remaining young forever and that adults are evil. Unfortunately, Neverland is a completely fictional place*, and all the Lost Boys from Hook have grown up; I’ve taken the liberty to discover what they’ve managed to do since their life’s greatest accomplishment.

Although not a lost boy, maybe honorary at best. The son of Peter, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) didn’t do another film until 8 years later called “Can’t Hardly Wait” which I’m downloading as I post. He graduated from psychics from MIT in 2002, and received a Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 2006. Other than being Jack, his biggest accomplishment is his dabbling with missile defense with the US Government. He did have to briefly see a child psychologist because of this.

Alike from her fictional brother, Maggie (Amber Scott) not really fitting the criteria of a lost boy (girl?) didn’t pursue much of an acting career, other than a voice role. My my did this little angel sure grow up. Beautiful and hot, like playboy hot. I would say something mean about her, like she changed her name and does porn (in hopes to see that she finds my website and messages me in anger, alluding to a relationship that doesn’t end up working due to the fact she wants to get back into film) but I hear she’s really nice, kind, sweet person, and I’ll respect that.

Rufio. Rufio. Ruuufffiiioooooooooo (Dante Basco). Undoubtly one of the greatest things to come out of the Philippines since the invention of rice (and myself). After Hook, Dante has managed to keep a lively film career, regulary hip-hop and break dances, voice roles for various video games, is an avid basketball player – playing pick up games in west LA and for the NBAE (NBA Entertainment league), and makes casual appearances for LA’s nightlife, which “Other patrons frequently chant “Rufio…Rufio…Rufio”, encouraging the actor to dance in the middle of the dance floor”.

First off, the resemblance between Thud Butt and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man is uncanny. The hat, the small red scarf, the sailor shoulder thingy, and not to mention their similar size, the resemblances are unmistakable. (Raushan Hammond), who doesn’t have much of a history after 1995 (he does a few guest appearances, all of which earn an award of some sort), appears to have disappeared off the face of the planet. However, in 1997, (Jerod Mixon) seems to pick up where Raushan left off. I have an aching suspicion that they are the same person. You do the math.

Latchboy, (Alex Zuckerman) is possibly the most famous of all the Lost Boys. He’s gone on to do major things, most notably prop comedy, self-deprecating humor, and is known for his bodybuilder physique. More commonly known as Carrot Top, he can be seen headlining at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas. You can see Carrot’s early attempts at prop usage throughout the movie, and had designed most the armor and weaponry used in the battle against the pirates.

Carrot Top is not the only celebrity to make it big. Not famous from his acting career, Ace (Jasen Fisher), I’m sure has affected all of our lives in some small way. If you’ve ever had Nerds, sweetarts, bottlecaps, or the famous everlasting gobstopper, we can thank Willy “Patches” Wonka himself. Jasen Fisher did a lot of the cooking in Neverland, and since we was cooking for the lost boys, its no doubt that his culinary skills have developed toward the sweeter side. This gives a perfect explination to why Willy Wonka is the way he is.

Brian and Brett Willis? I think not. Thats right, its Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

No Nap (Ahmad Stoner) was picked up because of his amazing natural abilities at archery. Ahmad, regularly gave archery lessons to other lost boys, and his ability was demonstrated throughout the movie by him, and the lost boys he taught. Ahmad however, was the son of a bitch who plugged Robin Williams in the nuts with a “plunger arrow”. After hook, Ahmad continued to hone his archery skills, and competed in the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, where he unfortunately stayed in the shadow of Justin Huish, because of this Ahmad never received the media attention he deserved from his victories. Justin later served time in prison for selling pot, Ahmad sold alongside Justin, but remained in his shadow and never got caught.

Don’t Ask (James Madio), is quite possibly lazier than me when it comes to websites. This guy was not a lost boy, but more of a lost adolescent. Too Small (Thomas Tulak) and Pockets (Isaiah Robinson), are actually from Neverland and continue to reside there, they are 7 and 8 respectively. They served as liaisons for the filming in Neverland, setting up locations, providing housing and food for the staff. Some people complained about the food, others weren’t sure what to complain about.
