Kleiser was like an American Franco Zeffirelli, always casting pretty young men as leads in his movies: Travolta in Grease, Christopher Atkins in The Blue Lagoon, Peter Gallagher in Summer Lovers, C. Thomas Howell in Grandview U.S.A, Ethan Hawke in White Fang, ...
Any interesting casting couch stories to share?

"Kleiser was like an American Franco Zeffirelli"

Was inadvertently included in that "Secret" documentary about all the pedophiles -- because they got him at a party. For all we know, he just showed up and had no idea but he's there.

Patricia Birch gets more points for casting Maxwell Caulfield in GREASE 2.

Riiiight, like Casting Directors make any decisions on Lead roles (or anything else, really). Bottom of the entertainment food chain and know it -- so they take it out on the actors. Bitches.

r13 He was the director, pretty much the most important person of the movie, producers may have more power, but directors are more important, I find the writers the most important, but okay.

R13 was a reference to Birch being the reason Caulfield was cast (post right above). Kleiser indeed did that.

r15 Birch was the director of GREASE 2.
