Trevor Lissauer is THE SKATEBOARD KID!

Otherwise known as Zack. He's the scrawny down-and-out loser who is the hero of the movie. He wears a hat that says "WOW" (which is a glairing clue as to why his only friends are a talking skateboard and a 10 year old girl) who saves the day with his skateboard, Rip. As lame as this kid was in this movie, he's gone on from a career in crappy children's movies to be in such movies as Erasable You and Club Land, he's pretty much resigned to TV work now being in shows like Felicity, Roswell, Sabrina, The Teenaged Witch and Reno 911.

The one thing I have to say that this kid has not gotten better looking with age. If he were a fine wine, he'd have already gone to vinegar.

Don DeLuise is the voice of Rip

Fat bastard and rumored comedian, Don DeLuise, the guy who you can never really remember why the fuck he's famous plays the voice of Rip, the talking Skateboard. There's nothing I can really say bad about Don DeLuise that he won't say himself. Case in point: My dad used to work at the airport in Vancouver, where he had the chance to meet many a celebrity (because as we all know, Vancouver is the stunt double for pretty much every American city.) one of whom was Don DeLuise. One night while drinking out on the porch, I questioned my old man about it. All he could do is shake his head and say "He was being pushed around in a wheelchair complaining about how much of a fat bastard he was." he said, he then polished off his drink and went back inside, leaving me to ponder over his encounter.

Timothy Busfield as Frank

Super-gluing a red clown wig to your head is always a good career choice. Tim plays the role of Zack's dad, which I suppose you have to have one hell of an acting ability to be able to convince your audience you are not suicidally ashamed of the fact that your the father of Skateboard Kid.

He plays the widowed dad who moves to a new town to effectively wreck his sons social life and be a TV stations bitch. His son tries to set him up with the local widow who owns a pawn shop.

After Skateboard kid, Tim went on to be in a lot of stuff. being in such movies as The Soul Opposite, Terminal Error, First Kid (I bet he's really proud of that one, I would never sully myself to be casted in a movie with that fucking doofus from Home Improvement and Sinbad on the same bill) and has settled back into TV land to be in The West Wing and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

I'm sure when he was getting all into character in the West Wing all he had to do was remember his goofy clown hair routine in this movie to get his character straight.

Cliff De Young is Big Dan

Sure he looks clean cut in this movie, but look at his picture on IMDB, he looks like a guy who just got his mug shot taken after being picked up by the cops for trying to buy a hooker. His name is interesting, I think he's America's answer to Joque De Quif or something. Anyway, in this movie he plays a crooked used car salesman (are there any other kind?) who is trying to marry the local widow to get at the gold that is hidden in her water tower (and I wish that were a metaphor!)

Jonathan Pekar as Ham

Possibly one of the ugliest kids I've ever seen in my life. No joke! There's a reason I spent the time to make a shitty animated gif of this guy! He's fucking hideous! Ham (obviously his father had the good mind to name his ugly kid after slaughtered pig meat) is the leader of the skateboard gang that get's into trouble around town. They usually do stupid crap, and since his dad is the wealthy used car salesman he gets away with it most of the time.

I think if Jonathan Pekar (Nice last name by the way, I guess you're family comes from a long line of dick heads with a last name like that!) though he'd make it big with a career in film, I hope the people in Hollywood laughed at his ugly face in the studio.

Thankfully, we didn't have to take a moment in our lives to get used to his ugly face (except maybe in our most horrid nightmares) as after Skateboard Kid, the Pekar has not acted again, before Skateboard Kid (and subsequently having any dreams of fame dashed into nonexistence save for being "The Peculiar Pekar" at a freak show) He was in an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 (and probably brags about how he once breathed the same air as Tori Spelling and Luke Perry, and claims he's good friends with them to get girls to sleep with him, but of course he isn't fooling anyone) and he was also in the 1989 movie Spy as "Ralph" which is what most people do when they have to look at his butt-ugly face.

God fucking damn it you're an ugly bastard! Get some plastic surgery, you look like some accident child of Angus Young that he personally beat with the ugly stick.

Bess Armstron is Maggie

Maggie, is the towns only female I think, and she's a widow. And the fact that two men, who are also widows, are courting her is a sign a good sign that you should move to a bigger town. She owns a floundering antique shop and is unknowingly the heir to a whole bunch of gold. She ends up marrying Zack's dad, if you call that an accomplishment.

Bess Armstron, after embarrassing herself in Skateboard Kid went on to be in be are regular on My So Called Life and various other films and TV shows.

However, to her credit, Skateboard Kid wasn't the worst movie she was ever casted in, she was one of the lucky people who will forever burn in infamy as being involved in the making of Jaws 3-D.

Shanelle Workman is Jenny

Shanelle plays Jenny, who is the ugly daughter of Maggie. I don't know how the hell they managed to cast a girl who looks so out of resemblance to the person playing her mother, as they did with this pair up.

I think the freaky thing about her, is her relationship with Zack, the weird, mentor, I got a crush, let's ride on your talking skateboard together thing just can't be healthy when both your widowed parents decide to marry each other. Either way, whatever psychiatrist they'll eventually have to see down the road will make a mint off these idiots.

Shanelle, after he ground-breaking role as "annoying little kid" in Skateboard Kid ended up doing voices for video games, and starring in soap operas. I think the most depressing thing you can have on your resume is not being called back after being in the pilot episode for That's So Raven.

Rick Dean is Earl the Greasy Mechanic

What can you say about a guy who's main contribution in a film is to wreck a Mustang, get covered with grease, break kids skateboards and get drunk.

He later went on to be in such bloodfests as Carnosaur 3: Primal Species and Casper Meets Wendy.

With his Howie Mandel hair, his denture looking teeth, he is the dreamboat for any single lady, I'm surprised that Maggie didn't go after that dreamboat.

Derek Mark Locran is the Utility Man

His biggest contribution to this movie is to try and read a utility meter and eating a goldfish.

Obviously this skill has bolstered his career, giving him bit parts in movies like Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and he got to play a mime in an episode of That 70's Show in 2001.

Look, Derek.. Or Mark if you prefer, when the only role you can get in a five year span is a small part in an episode of That 70's Show as a fucking mime, I think you have to reconsider your choice career.
