Ninja Turtle Star -- and the Secret of the Booze

Posted Sep 17th 2008 9:33AM by TMZ Staff

It's been 17 years since he laid the smack down on the Shredder, but last night in Hollywood, Ernie Reyes Jr. -- the dude from the original Ninja Turtles movies -- was still out for some Foot Clan blood.

FYI -- Ernie played Donatello (during the fight scenes) in the first flick before taking on two giant evil muppets named Tokka and Rahzar as Keno in "Secret of the Ooze."

1. Actually Donatello was played by Leif Tilden and voiced by Corey Feldman in 1990's TMNT. He was in the second turtles movie, but not the first or third movies.

5. Acutally, Ernie was used for the fight sequences in the first movie. They were so impressed with his martial arts capability that they created a role for him in the sequel

6. I went to one of his Martial arts schools he is a really nice guy. You know how some people can be when they have a black belt they think they can kick the worlds butt, not him. His father is a sweatheart to, I think he played one of the turtles in the first movie.

14. So the guy of legal age has a drink and is getting into a cab-VERY IRRESPONSIBLE considering what the rest of hollywood is doing GROW UP to the person who said thanks for providing clean entertainment. He's not a martyr or hero (only in movies) and I'm sure you have a beer or two and if you don't YOU SHOULD! Oh yeah and keep supporting your favorite teenage mutant friends! TURTLE POWER!
