Yeah, if Henry Thomas HAD been cast as Mick, which almost happened, I doubt any of us would be hanging on a ML board anymore or I even doubt the series would have made it past 4 or so episodes. JMHO.

The Mick St. John character is endlessly fascinating as any wounded soul types are, but without Alex inhabiting that character and bringing it to life, I'm not sure I would have even tuned in more than once or twice.

Henry Thomas was going to be Mick St John?!

I did not know this. I'm so very glad we got Alex instead.

I think it was Trevor who revealed that bit of information. It came down to Alex and Henry in the casting. I think it was Ron Koslow who saw Alex the first time and stated that this was their Mick. It took a few auditions for the rest of the producers to come around to his way of thinking.....and thank heavens they did, huh?

Henry Thomas was indeed adorable as all get out in ET, but that was 1982 and the kid was 10 or so and cute as a button. Fast forward 25 years and good ol' Henry ain't so cute and or adorable anymore. Might be a lovely person, but I like my vampires cool, sexy and charismatic, thank you very much.

Thanks for the info SS.

To think how ML might have been without Alex.

Our vamp may not have been quite so cool, sexy and charismatic if they'd gone down that route.

I really think it wouldn't have seen the light of day with Henry Thomas. Not to knock the guy, but when what bit of trivia came out, someone did a side-by-side pic comparison and there are just no sexy vamp quality there.

Alex=Mick

That, my ladies, is the extent of my mathematical skills.

FdL:lol: so true for me too.

Trevor told us when we were in NC that Joel really wanted Jason Patric and
He and Ron actually flew to Canada to try to get him even though they
Both didn't want him. From the start they really wanted Alex.

Sorry for the double post ladies.

I can see they were the brains behind this business then...

Which makes Joel the... what????

Jason Patric so wouldn't have worked either

I am SO grateful that Ron and Trevor prevailed in this one. I just can't imagine Mick and ML without Alex
Ron actually decided that Alex was their guy from day one. I guess having 30 years of experience in the business helps.

And I had no clue who jason patrick was; I had to google the name.

Now there's a name that I hadn't seen connected with ML before. Huh....I wonder how many other possible Micks we have floating around?

Henry Thomas wouldn't have impressed. Jason Patric would have bored everyone to tears (Speed 2 anyone?). Thank heavens that JS was overruled on this one.

How about a Mick picture to visually remind us why Alex = Mick

And another:

No. I liked him in Lost Boys but his acting does seem pretty one-note.

And anyway, no one else could look this good while driving!

Love the litle smile
