* Everytime I hear the name Joe Mazzello all I can imagine is him as a little kid in movies like
Star Kid, Jurassic Park 

and
Radio Flyer
. He's grown to become a solid actor now, with a stint on HBO's war series
The Pacific
, and also recently in
The Social Network
. Now he's going to play a southern ladies' man in
G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes. He'll play a character named Mouse, who to the best of my knowledge was created solely for the film. [
