Original Michael Myers Actor Will Have A Cameo In Halloween Ends
Original Michael Myers actor Nick Castle confirms he has a cameo in the upcoming Halloween Ends. Castle first played the menacing killer The Shape in John Carpenter’s 1978 horror masterpiece Halloween.
Of course Castle would later go on to do a lot of other things in movies besides play hulking murderers in proto-slasher movies. His list of writing credits includes more collaborations with John Carpenter on Escape from New York and Escape from L.A.. His directing credits meanwhile include the sci-fi classic The Last Starfighter, the 1993 Dennis the Menace movie and the Damon Wayans vehicle Major Payne. But Castle always remained associated with the role of Michael Myers, which is why David Gordon Green brought him back for a cameo in his 2018 Halloween reboot, using him for one shot in which Myers is glimpsed through a window. Castle also returned for 2021’s Halloween Kills but unfortunately saw his scene cut from the finished film. That scene, in which Castle played Myers’ reflection in a mirror, was thankfully included on the recent home release of the movie.
