The NCIS Star You Forgot Was In Hocus Pocus
Sean Murray was certainly prepared to fight baddies as agent Timothy McGee, having previously meddled with some menacing witches. The actor, who's starred in all 18 seasons of "NCIS," originally played everyone's childhood crush — the baby-faced, billowy blouse-wearing Thackery Binx in "Hocus Pocus." Fans of the film will remember Binx as the brave big brother who tried to save his sister from the 17th century Sanderson sisters, but tragically gets turned into a cat for mocking the trio. While we only get to see Binx in human form during the opening and closing scenes, his character certainly made an impression. Decider even called Binx "the dreamiest Puritan boy to ever grace cinema."
Despite the teenage Binx going to heaven at the end of the first film, Murray said he would consider a "cameo" if asked. "If they wanted me to be involved with it in some sort of way, I would probably say yes," Murray told E! News back in 2014. If so, we hope Murray actually says a few words given a voice actor ended up dubbing Binx's lines. "They originally wanted a sort of California vibe with the voice, and then at some point thought [they] should do it Olde English. I'm not a voice actor; I couldn't do an English accent, I'd never been trained to do that, and I was young," he told Bustle. Regardless of outcome, Murray seems just as excited to see the witches "run amok" again. He continued "'Hocus Pocus' has a great following and was a great part of when I was a kid... It's like a cult favorite."
