...comparison to other Class Day predecessors over the past five years--former U.S. Senator Alan K. Simpson (R-Wy.), former Mass. Gov. William F. Weld '66, Quincy Jones, Tom Brokaw and Hank Aaron--O'Brien is a significantly younger and less traditional choice...

...Beetlejuice is one of a growing number of little people who hire themselves as entertainers (Hank the Drunken Angry Dwarf, Mini-Me and the stars of WrestleMania IIIothe pinnacle of Dwarf Wrestling, in which the notorious Lord Littlebrook, got to face his arch-nemesis Little Beaver, in a match for the ages). Unlike most other dwarves in ithe businessi who entertain us only with their antics and comedy skits, Beetlejuiceis act is this and a hell of a lot more. In short, Beetlejuice gets hired to be tossed...

Toby is a decent kid, but his stabs at '50s punkdom rasp...

...take it. Let's have a new kind of action star, one who calls into question (as the character and the film do) the very need for violent action movies. That's DiCaprio here: less Rambo than Rimbaud; a wild child back in the jungle. And, like Arnie and Hank and the Kid, a little boy lost. But the role doesn't play to all his strengths.
