Where is Harvey Stephens now??

Am I the last person alive to see "The Omen?" Probably. I'm not a fan of scary or bloody/gruesome movies, but I decided to throw caution to the wind and see the 1976 version - with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick - this weekend. It was a great movie - creepy more than scary.

I was distracted the whole time though - who is that creepy kid, and did playing Damien kick off a huge film or TV career? Is he the Jerry O'Connell of his day (Jerry was the fat kid in "Stand By Me" and look at him now!)??

Here's what we know: Harvey Stephens was born on November 12, 1970. His only film role since playing Damien was a small part in the 2006 remake of The Omen. The only other info I could find is that he's a property developer in England, and got married in 2002 and has a daughter (sorry ladies). He was offered $15k for the tricycle he rode in the movie but he wanted to save it for his own daughter (eeeewwwww!!!! creeeeepy!!!!!!!!!!).

So Harvey is no Jerry...but I'll sleep better knowing that the creepy kid who haunted my dreams all weekend actually turned into a somewhat normal dude.

Cheers, Lara

This is too funny! I just saw the remake of The Omen and it SUCKS. The kid who plays Damien is too cute to be the devil, and just looks sort of grouchy the whole time.

But maybe I'll have to check out the original, eh?

I actually liked The Omen remake. Not as much as the original, but I thought they did a decent job.

What confuses the hell out of me is when people name their little boys "Damien". ESPECIALLY after seeing The Omen. It's a cute name and all... But to me it's like saying, "Hey, let's name him Hitler and see how he turns out..."

Omen or no Omen...the creepiest thing about this blog, is that Jerry O'Connell shares the same birthday (right down to the year) with my ex boyfriend, who indeed was, and I am sure still is---> PURE EVIL!

He was never in The Omen remake.
