hmm late teens Adam Baldwin wasn’t much different than today’s Adam Baldwin, maybe with more hair.

here’s a [singer](http://www.imusicdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Picture-22.jpg).

As others have said, Adam Baldwin and Matt Dillon. The guy on the right is Chris Makepeace from [Meatballs (1979)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079540/). I recognize this poster from the [My Bodyguard (1980)](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081207/)film which I think I saw at a Drive-In back in my teens.

Reminds me of Huntz Hall from the old Bowery Boys movies. But I’m going to guess James Woods?
