Dorian Walker

Synopsis
Lots of catchy 80s tunes accompany Judd Nelson in his film debut as Eddie Keaton, a street kid from Jersey who's on the run from bookie Dice Man (Andrew Dice Clay).

A slovenly rich boy Palmer Woodrow (Dana Olsen) stumbles upon the brilliant idea of hiring a poor person to impersonate him at school - enter Eddie. The two strike a $10,000 deal and it's off to posh Hoover Academy for Eddie; a world of luxury cars and country clubs.

TRIVIA:
The first actor approached for the role of Eddie Keaton was Jim Carrey; Andrew Dice Clay was cast after being seen at a comedy club by casting director Julie Seltzer and Robert Kraft (head of music for Cannon films).
