EDDIE DEEZEN is Wesley, the egghead debate team chairman and captain of the White Team.

He has since starred in the movies "Grease," "I Wanna Hold your Hand," "1941" and "Used Cars." He would like to do commercials, but his agent said "he's not normal enough."

A New York native, Katzoff graduated from Queens College with a degree in economics. While working on a graduate degree in Florida, he joined a small theatre group and won a small role in "Thunder & Lightening." Since moving to California in 1976, he has appeared in the feature films "Falling In Love Again," "H.O.T.S.," "Swap Meet," "Defiance" and "Love at First Bite." He was a semi-regular on "James at 15" as James's studious friend.
