Pamela Jayne Soles (Lynda Van Der Klok)

Some of her most notable roles to date are: Rock ‘N’ Roll High School, Sweet Dreams, Out There(TV), Uncle Sam and Jaw Breaker.

So as Sole still rides the Halloween train, she can always look back to Halloween, the series that kick started her career.

Nancy Stephens (Nurse Marion Chambers Whittington)
There are only two people that can say they’ve been in Halloween, Halloween II and Halloween H20. Those two are Jamie Lee Curtis and Nancy Stephens.

Filpi’s career has been strong since the late 1960’s. In his most recent works he tends to play the old, weathered man. Much like the rev we saw in Halloween 4.

Halloween 6:

Paul Stephen Rudd (Tommy Doyle)
Paul Rudd was raised in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri. He hit it big as Tommy Doyle in Halloween 6. A movie he openly bashed because he was lead to believe that the final product would be more suspense than horror. I guess he didn’t see any of the previous Halloweens.

He has openly said he wouldn’t do another Halloween film in his life because of the way him and other members were treated on the set by Nazi director Joe Chappelle.

Since Halloween 6 Tommy has gone on to play in Clueless, Overnight Delivery, Object of My Affection, 200 Cigarettes, and The Chateau.
