Original Michael Myers Actor Teases Cameo In Halloween Ends
Original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle confirms he has a cameo role in Halloween Ends. Castle's first acting credit is as an alien in the 1974 movie Dark Star, but he is most known for playing the original Boogeyman in John Carpenter's 1978 horror film, Halloween. A few years later, the actor reteamed with Carpenter for a brief cameo in Escape From New York. Despite only appearing in a handful of films after he decided to focus on directing and writing, Castle is still well-known by horror fans for his iconic role in the Halloween series.
Unlike franchises like A Nightmare on Elm Street which stuck with the same actor (Robert Englund), Halloween often recast its lead since Michael's face was rarely seen. James Jude Courtney was chosen to play The Shape in David Gordon Green's Halloween reboot in 2018, which effectively retconned every film in the franchise except for the original. Courtney returned for both Halloween Kills and the upcoming Halloween Ends; however, Castle was also part of the cast. Castle was the man behind the mask when Laurie Strode first sees Michael in 2018'sHalloween, and he also appeared in a deleted scene of Halloween Kills where he smacks Sondra Dickerson's drone out of the air.

Unlike his last two cameos, Castle will not be underneath the mask and will instead show his actual face on screen. Check out the actor's full comment below:
