Gary Riley

Gary Riley who played the ridiculously funny "Dave" in 1987's summer-fun-time movies, was born on April 28th, 1967 somewhere in Los Angeles county. He played "Charlie Hogan" in perhaps his most well known work "Stand By Me". He made notable appearances as a thief who steals money from Steve Martin's character's wallet in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and as a naive metalhead customer whom Ken Kessler (portrayed by Judge Reinhold) cannot bear to rip off after discovering his girlfriend is pregnant in Ruthless People. In 1986 he auditioned for the roles of "Bill S. Preston Esquire" and Ted "Theodore" Logan in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure being one of the final picks along with Keanu Reeves.
