The man responsible for presenting Rabbit to audiences is none other than the '80s and '90s icon Alan Ruck. The name might not ring immediate bells, but his face will certainly do the trick. He's found work all across Tinseltown for decades, making his big-screen debut in 1983's Bad Boys at 27 years old. Since then, Ruck has tried his hand at all types of other roles in projects ranging from comedies to thrillers. Ruck was already a journeyman of the big screen by the time de Bont cast him in Twister.
He doesn't, however, limit his talents to the cinema, diving into the world of television on more than one occasion. He arrived in the TV world in 1989 in a single appearance on the short-lived sitcom The Famous Teddy Z. While this was a small role, Ruck pressed on with television work, cameoing and guest-starring in countless other series. His effort wasn't for nothing, as he secured some consistent work down the line.
