How the mighty have fallen

While watching "Pretty in Pink" today I noticed something awfully familiar about "Duckie". I've seen this movie a dozen times but this time I couldn't help but feel like i had seen Duckies Character recently so I looked him up.

Jon Cryer played charismatic love drunk Duckie with a mean sense of style and a flare for over the top dramatics to impress his girl in the 1986 film Pretty in Pink.
Duckie is one of my all time favorite movie characters and I always thought it was a shame we didn't see him in anything else.

But then it turns out....
That's right. He's been right under my nose and I never realized it.

Jon cryer has been playing slimy divorcee moocher Alan Harper from the TV show "Two and a Half Men" since 2003.


I liked it better when I thought he had dropped off the face of the earth 25 years ago!
