John Hughes. Nelson, 50, played John Bender, "The Rebel" in
The Breakfast Club, one of Hughes' cult classics.

He was joined onstage by former co-stars like
Molly Ringwald and
Jon Cryer. He definitely looked like he'd aged a bit since his days as the tough guy in the '80s classic. Though, it seemed like old times when he gave Ringwald a peck at the end of the tribute.
Apparently he's still pretty into acting. His IMDB entry features multiple current projects, though it doesn't seem like he's been in anything that would launch him into the spotlight in a while. Tweeters were definitely surprised to see him, and tweeted tons of messages about his stage appearance.
