Okay, as we all know A. Michael Baldwin didn't return as Mike for Phantasm II. Many fans have mixed feelings on this. I was just wondering if anyone has a photographs of him when he was a teenager (around the time Phantasm II was made) I always wondered what he would of been like in that role vs. the other actor who took his part. I really think he would of worked nicely beside the actress who played Liz. Also as much as fans hate the opening of part III I always thought it was clever of how they edited the films together (Having A. Michael Baldwin in the hearse in the same clothes as the other actor, ect) Thoughts?  |

While I'm interested too, I don't any pics of he or Paula Irvine, there is a video with LeGros, Irvine, and Angus circa 1988 discussing Phantasm II on Dustin's site somewhere...
The style was the only thing about the intro I really liked; I found the editing more forced and thus felt really awkward. I always thought it would be kinda funny if a Mike dummy was thrown from the hearse with his face hitting something hard and have him unbandaged in the hospital as Baldwin; would have fit in with Phantasm III actually. Baldwin apparently hates Part 2 for whatever reason which I'm guessing may be a reason Liz and such are ignored, but I have deffinately wondered how Baldwin would do alongside her...

Mike is both cute and handsome in this. And look at those dimples. Very endearing. I love the late 70's hairstyle, brings back memories. I'd be curious what kinds of clubs he was in back then. High School clubs that is...

He pretty much looks exactly like I thought he would.
High School clubs? Have you seen the "Around the world" video?

OMG BEST PHOTO E-V-E-R! Wow that's really aewsome you found that, thanks! Yeah I think he would of worked perfectly in part two beside that actress. He looks more like a real teenager vs. a model. Shame part II never worked out. As for him hating part II...I mean who can really blame him. I would be pissed to if that was my role. But hey at least he jokes about it. |

Michael is looking quite rad in that picture.
Although I'll always be a fan of James LeGros in Phantasm II, I think Michael would've done a great job in the role.

Are we talking about A. Michael Baldwin? "gulps" I swear I was just screwing around with photo shop! lol. Still seeing those two actor's faces side by side really makes you wonder on how much more amazing part II would of been with him. d**n you Universal!  |

Finally got around to showing this to Michael! He says that he thinks it's his sophomore yearbook picture since he didn't appear in his senior yearbook. He also commented that he enjoyed reading the posts here.
