Pittsburgh born producer Shane Black is a big name in the movie industry as a writer and director with a long list of action movie credits … but Black’s on-screen role that he’s best known for as the young glasses-wearing cadet Hawkins — who is quickly killed by the unknown alien creature — in the classic 1987 action film “Predator.“
Shane was joined on the gun-toting jungle film by epic actors including Carl Weathers as the indestructible, Dillon, Jesse Ventura as the man with a minigun, Blain … and of course Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Vietnam vet, Dutch.
