25 Actors You Totally Forgot Starred In Classic Horror Franchises
5. Jason Bateman
The Franchise: Psycho
The Role: Tony in 1987's Bates Motel, the pilot-turned-TV-movie that served as a failed attempt to launch a series.
Why You Forgot: Because, chances are, you likely didn't even know it existed. The year after Psycho III's release, NBC attempted to mount a television series based on the idea that Norman Bates passed down ownership of the motel in death to a friend he had made in the asylum.
The series failed to launch and its pilot was simply turned into a wholly forgettable television movie, with its failure being followed in 1990 by Psycho IV, which also hit the small screen. Bateman, who appeared in it as a teenager, has only continued to act in TV and film, while the Psycho series has been resurrected in the last few years through A&E's own similarly-named, but far greater Bates Motel.
