Everybody can Ace shop, that's what Brian thought... Though wasn't it hte ceramic elephent that gor him into detention in the first place?
Brian Johnson is one of those smart kids that is known, simply, for being smart...a nerd. . He has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, from his parents, his mother even makes him study when he's in detention.

Anthony Michel Hall was one of those Nerdy looking guys that turned out quite allright in the end. He now has played on over 20 movies amongst which Edward Scissorhands in which he plays the asshole.
