Josh Brolin played Mikey's big brother Brand, and like many of his fellow Goonies vets, he's maintained a steady career distinguished by solid work. Most recently, he's played the evil demigod Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, but he's also appeared in No Country For Old Men, Old Boy, Jonah Hex and Milk—the latter of which earned him an Oscar nomination.

Not everything has worked out so well for him, however: in 2013, he checked into rehab to confront a lifetime of substance abuse issues. As a teenager, he was a member of a surfer gang called the Cito Rats and picked up a lot of bad habits, including trying heroin. Drinking proved particularly troublesome, ultimately breaking up his marriage, but he seems to have recovered well; newly clean and sober, Brolin remarried in 2016.
