Gesamte Besetzung von Love-Fighters
James Spader
Morgan Hiller
In the 1985 film "Tuff Turf," James Spader plays the role of Morgan Hiller, a rebellious and troubled teenager who moves to a new town and finds himself embroiled in conflicts with local gangs, while also navigating complicated romantic relationships. This role fits into Spader's early career as he often portrayed edgy, outsider characters that showcased his ability to embody complex, flawed personalities. Unlike some of his later, more refined and nuanced performances in films like "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" or the TV series "The Blacklist," Spader's work in "Tuff Turf" stands out for its raw, youthful intensity and portrayal of teenage angst, marking an early example of his talent for conveying emotional depth and vulnerability within the teen drama genre.
