Corey Haim

Corey Ian Haim (born December 23, 1971 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada to a Canadian Jewish father and an Israeli mother) became famous as an actor in Hollywood during the 1980s. His friendship and on-screen collaboration with Corey Feldman was widely publicized during the late 80s, and they were dubbed "the two Coreys". His fall from stardom is considered a textbook case of a child star losing his way when entering adulthood.

Career

One of his first appearances was in Lucas, alongside Charlie Sheen. His breakthrough role came in Joel Schumacher's 1987 hit film, The Lost Boys, where he and the other Corey battled teenage vampires. Then, in 1988, he made the film License to Drive, where he undertook the main character and Feldman had a secondary role. For their next film, 1989's Dream a Little Dream, Feldman had the lead and Haim played a secondary character. He and Feldman quickly became teen idols, and both got heavily involved in the late 1980s Hollywood party scene.

After the 1980s, his career began a downward trajectory. Dream a Little Dream was his last film with a major theatrical release, after which it was strictly low-budget straight-to-video fare, which included Dream Machine, Fast Getaway, Fast Getaway II, The Double O Kid, Blown Away, One of the Girls, Snowboard Academy, Demolition High, Demolition University, and Busted. Many of these co-starred Corey Feldman, and often featured then girlfriend Nicole Eggert as the love interest.
