Where Are They Now: This Guy

Best known by fans as "that guy" from cult 1980's classics such as The 'Burbs, Children Of The Corn, and Can't Buy Me Love (pictured), Courtney Gains rode his tidal wave of obscure nerdy characters straight to oblivion in the nineties, following a turn as the spazzy, superstitious one in 1990's Memphis Belle. Did you know though he was actually that jerk bully guy in Back To The Future that comes in during the dance sequence towards the end all like, "Scram McFly, I'm cuttin' in!"? Courtney now spends most of his time as an acting coach, apparently mentoring young upstarts on the intricacies of becoming one of those actors whose name you just can't seem to remember.
