Stephen Furst

For me, Stephen Furst will always be Flounder from Animal House, that sweetly hapless freshman who anchored the comedy's heart. But I admire him most for refusing to stay typecast. He moved behind the camera as a director, kept working as a voice actor, and built a genuinely versatile career out of a role that could have boxed him in forever. The Virginia Commonwealth education hints at the sharper mind behind the goofy charm. He died in 2017, yet his warmth survives on screen. Furst reminds me that the supporting players often carry a film's emotional temperature.
