Little is known about what the actor who played Kid Ray does at this time and what he did after the movie. His name is Alex Romaguera, and he has not appeared in any more movies since he played Kid Ray.

See the full cast of the movie Lean on Me on IMDb.

Alex Romaguera attended Weehawken High School in Weehawken, New Jersey. While at school, he auditioned and was accepted into a Dramatic Arts program patterned after the prestigious NYC "Fame" school in North Bergen. His works include a recurring role in the daytime soap opera "As The World Turns" and a featured role with Morgan Freeman in the motion picture "Lean On Me (1989)," where he portrayed "Kid Ray."

Lean on Me is a classic in the Black community. In 1988, the world was introduced to the troubled Eastside High in Passaic County, New Jersey. The cameras captured the troubled halls of the high school that were rampant with violence, drugs, and disrespectful youths. Joe Clark, also known as Crazy Joe or Bat Man, stepped onto the scene, and though he initially came off as cantankerous, there was a method to his madness, and he was able to help the students pass the minimum basic skills test.

Now, we all know that there are some powerhouses in this movie: Morgan Freeman, Robert Guillaume, Regina Taylor, Beverly Todd, and Michael Beach. But what about the youths who were the driving force in the movie? Where are they now? Visit Madamenoire.com to find out.
