Jackie Earle Haley is best known for his portrayal of motorcycle riding little leaguer Kelley Leak in "The Bad News Bears." In that movie, he wore a suede tassled jacket and shades and played air hockey vs.
Tatum O'Neil[?]. As Moocher, the hot-tempered runt in
Breaking Away, he left a path of destruction through Bloomington, smashing time clocks and bowling alleys. Also unforgettable in "Losin' It" as the sex-crazed leader of a trip to Tijuana in search of whores. The movie paired Haley and
Tom Cruise. However, his most underrated role was in "Day of the Locust," where he brilliantly plays a monstrous child actor. No matter what role he played, he was always the least handsome person on screen. Glory in his stringy hair, varmint features, and considerable talent.
