Yet many fans probably don’t know thatthe role almost went to Leonardo DiCaprio.
Katz toldE!of its success, “I would’ve never imagined it in my life.
It was a great movie to make …
I just didn’t know it would have such a cult following.”
That’s fair because the film actually flopped in theaters.
Katz later explained toBloody Disgustingthat he lost interest in acting as he matured.
However, Katz eventually left Hollywood altogether.
As he explained on"Victims and Villains,““I just didn’t really like show business.
I liked the craft, great.
I didn’t like the business aspect of it.”
It’s a gig that he didn’t think he’d have when he first shot the movie.
I think I’m just as surprised as anybody.”
From the looks of Katz’s Instagram, he made appearances at conventions all over the country in 2022.
These included “’90s Con” in Connecticut, and an autograph signing at CelebWorx in California.
He promoted those events on social media, encouraging his followers to come say hello.
It doesn’t appear that he plans to stop going to conventions anytime soon, either.
“It’s really a trip,” he told Bloody Disgusting, adding, “It seems surreal.
I’m excited to see what the future has in store.”
It probably helps that Shaw and Birch have attended many of the same conventions Katz has.
In the caption of anInstagramselfie of them together, Katz wrote, “Reunited and feels so good!”
It wasn’t just Katz who didn’t get to reprise his role.
Vinessa Shaw andThora Birchdidn’t return as their characters, Allison and Dani, either.
While Birch claimed toEntertainment Tonightthat she had a scheduling conflict, Shaw and Katz were apparently never asked.
What had to make things harder was that they also weren’t given a reason.
“We weren’t invited to that meeting.
So we don’t really know why we weren’t invited,” Katz toldPeople.
However, he added, “I saw the fun in it.
He announced it onInstagram,writing, “Lots of people wondering what I’ve been up to.
His plans for selling cannabis, along with apparel, remain unclear, though.
That’s because he admitted toEntertainment Weeklythat he was sometimes high on marijuana during filming.
“That was at an age where I started experimenting with cannabis.
“I was misperforming and not hitting my keys or marks,” Katz explained.
and I was like, ‘No,’ and of course I was.”
Fortunately, that served as a “wake-up call” for Katz to get it together.
He was there to work, after all.
Yet, Katz apparently wasn’t just a teen who wanted to experiment.
However, in real life, Omri Katz has a totally different crush.
She happens to be his partner, Michele Watters, whom he has been dating since at least 2020.
That’s when he made their relationshipInstagramofficial by sharing a series of photos of them snuggling up.
He captioned them, “Luckiest man on earth.
Love this women.”
Katz has continued to post photos of him and Watters together since then.
In April 2022, he shared that they visited the Gardens of the World.
The “Halloween” actor even admitted toInstinct Magazinethat Katz was her first boyfriend.
He also did it by snowboarding and surfing, which he’s posted about on his Instagram.
The answer to that is yes, even if it did take him 30 years to return.
It was the first time Katz had returned to Salem since the film’s 1992 shoot.
Couldn’t have imagined it any different!”
“I definitely remember the seasons.
There are even tours of locations featured in the movie.
“It seems like the town has grown a lot.
The flux of people is insane,” Katz said.
If you ask Katz, though, they all should start filming it immediately.
