Raphael Sbarge

Rafael Sbarge has been playing blonde beach-boy types since his late teens. After studying at the Hagen-Bergdorf studio and making his off-Broadway debut in 1981, Sbarge was fortunate enough to be seen in one of the most popular teen-oriented flicks of the 1980s, Risky Business. He then went on to show up in such roles as Sherman in My Science Project (1985) and Schmoozler in Vision Quest (1985) On television, Sbarge was prominently cast in the pilot for the 1987 series Werewolf, though he didn't show up in the series proper. Rafael Sbarge landed a weekly gig as star of the 1986 sitcom Better Days, but after five low-rated weeks he was again sending out his resume. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
