what is the the name of the actor who played the criminal in the breakfast club?
john bender
in 1985, hall starred in two teen-oriented films written and directed by john hughes. he was cast as brian johnson, "the brain," in "the breakfast club", co-starring emilio estevez, judd nelson, ally sheedy, and molly ringwald. film critic janet maslin praised hall, stating that the 16-year-old actor and ringwald were "the movie's standout performers." hall and fellow costar molly ringwald dated for a short period of time after filming "the breakfast club" together in 1985. later that year, hall portrayed gary wallace, another likable misfit, in "weird science". critic sheila benson from the "los angeles times" said "hall [was] the role model supreme" for the character, but she also acknowledged that "he [was] outgrowing the role" and "[didn't] need to hold the patent on the bratty bright kid." "weird science" was a moderate success at the box office but was generally well-received for a teen comedy. those roles established him as the 80s "nerd-of-choice," as well as a member in good standing of hollywood's brat pack. hall, who portrayed john hughes' alter egos in "sixteen candles", "the breakfast club" and "weird science", credits the director for putting him on the map and giving him those opportunities as a child. "i had the time of my life," he said. "i'd consider [working with hughes again] any day of the week."
