Jeff McMahon, better known as "Chunk" from Goonies, took the stage name Jeff Cohen from his mother's maiden name. This really has no relevance, other than the movie is flipping awesome, despite its dismal box office performance. If you're born anywhere from 1972-1979, you pretty much know every character from Goonies, wish secretly that you were from the "Goon Docks," and that you could've found One-Eyed Willie's treasures after playing the skeleton organ. The point of this story, if there is one to this awful mess, is that after Goonies and a short film career, Chunk went to UC Berkeley and ran for Student Body President. Wikipedia said that he would perform the Truffle Shuffle at football games to incite the crowd. Can you imagine having that kind of power at your disposal? His campaign slogan was, "Chunk for President." That's hard to beat. So hard in fact, he won. After school, your boy Chunk went to UCLA Law School and is now an entertainment lawyer in Beverly Hills. Btw, Chunk has changed a little, but I bet he's still wicked awesome.
