Barnard Hughes Played Grandpa
Back in 1935, Barnard Hughes debuted as an actor, which makes him the most distinguished cast member of The Lost Boys without a doubt. Maybe that’s why the star got the movie’s ice-cool closing line. In character as the root beer-loving grandpa of the Emerson brothers, he says, “One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires.” We bet you read that in “grandpa’s” voice.

A Prolific And Successful Career
Needless to say, The Lost Boys didn’t define Hughes’ vast career. Before his stint in the film, the star was already an incredibly hardworking actor, and his resume looks like it can compete with “War and Peace” in terms of length. It’s estimated that he appeared in roughly 400 films, TV, and stage productions during his career. He was awarded handsomely as well, winning an Emmy and a Tony.
