Jake Busey reveals why the tribute to dad Gary Busey was cut from 'The Predator'
Jake Busey is gearing up for a busy year but when he looks back to 2018 and his "big role" as Sean Keyes in 'The Predator,' he does not recall it with great fondness.
Playing the character of Sean Keyes was a tribute to his Academy Award-nominated father, Gary Busey, who played the role of Peter Keyes in 1990's 'Predator 2.' Expectations were high since Jake was that one common link tying the two sequels with a common fanbase. The director of the film, Shane Black, personally approached the actor to step into the shoes of his father and while that moment was an "amazing" one, it was also the last of it. "I am really fortunate that the director asked for me to do it because he wanted to have a referential moment and integrate Predator 2 with The Predator," the 47-year-old actor tells MEAWW. "But in the end, they cut all my interesting stuff and most importantly the references to my dad," Jake shares.
