"I've actually been on the other side of these deals as a client," Cohen told THR. In 2008 Cohen made The Hollywood Reporter's "Next Generation: Hollywood's Top 35 Executives 35 and Under" list. He went to UCLA for law school, graduating in 2000, and at the age of 27 he co-founded his own Beverly Hills firm, Cohen & Gardner. He graduated from UC Berkeley and, after summer jobs at movie studios and an internship in the legal department at Universal (Cohen credits Richard Donner for mentoring him and making phone calls along the way), decided to pursue entertainment law. Along with his iconic role in The Goonies, Cohen did some TV ( Ask Max, Family Ties, the Disney Channel movie Perfect Harmony) and then went on to a career in a different part of the biz. In hindsight, the lovable Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen wasn't really all that chunky, but such were the mid-'80s. Hardly, but a dose of self-deprecatory humor is always in fashion too. Talking about The Goonies, his first-ever job, on Conanin 2012, Brolin said, "It's just one of those things that every generation-I've got 7-year-olds now who are like, 'oh my god', Sloth' and I'm like, 'I'm not Sloth! I was the older brother, I understand, I'm gnarly now, the beard and all that.'"

Brolin and wife Kathryn Boyd, whom he married in 2016, welcomed daughter Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018. He has two children from his first marriage, to Alice Adair, after which he was married to Diane Lane from 2004 until 2013. He's got a list of movies coming up, including the remake of Dune and the Sean Penn-directed Flag Day. Several decades before he snapped his fingers and made half of Earth's population disappear, the son of actor James Brolin got his own start playing Brandon Walsh (yes, Brandon Walsh), the cool and exasperated but also protective and big-hearted big brother of Mikey, whose determination to find One-Eyed Willie's lost treasure sets the action in motion.īrolin went on to do a few (dozen) movies, including Flirting With Disaster, Mimic, No Country for Old Men (which won the Best Picture Oscar and reinvigorated his career), American Gangster, W., Milk (he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance as Harvey Milk's killer, Dan White), Jonah Hex, True Grit, Sicario and, of course, Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, cloaked in CGI as mega-villain Thanos.
