Popcultured Blast from the Past: Matt Dillon

mattdillon.jpgIn 1980 I fell in love. Or so I thought. The movie “Little Darlings” came out and I was 15 years old and I thought Matt Dillon was the hottest thing on earth.

For the past 3 decades, Matt Dillon has proven that he is a lot more than just a pretty face. While it’s true that his good looks got him spotted by a casting agent at his New York high school, he eased into his acting roles and quickly proved that he would become more than just a teen idol.

With a resume that boasts hit movies like The Outsiders, Singles, A Kiss before Dying , There’s Something About Mary and Crash, Matt Dillon has played everything from the troubled teen to the nerdy private detective.

Now in his mid-40’s, Dillon’s career is still going strong. He’s one of those rare teen idols who transitioned into adult acting roles without missing a beat.
