Jake Busey (Starship Troopers, Identity) has revealed to The Red Booth (via Pop Culture) that his role in 20th Century Fox and Shane Black‘s sequel The Predator is, in fact, the son of his dad Gary Busey’s Peter Keyes character from Predator 2!
The character of Keyes has an interesting history, as screenwriters Jim and John Thomas (who also wrote the first Predator) had intended the role to be Dutch, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character.
We don’t have money for you but it’ll be a fun thing to come play and be your father’s son,’” Busey said.
The part was then rewritten as a special agent posing as DEA in order to capture the Predator as it roamed Los Angeles.
