The Bicentennial Man and Lake Placid star looked nothing like he did during his '90s heyday. For the jaunt, Platt donned a gray, collared shirt, jean shorts, tall white socks and tennis shoes, sporting a thinner frame and grayer hair than fans are used to seeing.

In 1990, Platt and Roberts, 57, starred in the sci-fi psychological horror film directed by Joel Schumacher and produced by Michael Douglas and Rick Bieber. Flatliners also starred Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and K.K. Dodds, among others.
Platt portrayed Randy Steckle, a medical student who takes part in near-death experiments alongside his peers in an attempt to learn what happens after death.
Today, the actor is best known for portraying a very different kind of doctor—psychologist Dr. Daniel Charles in Chicago Med.

Bob Myers shattered Stephen A. Smith's tiresome gimmick before Game 7
It's been a rough NBA Finals when it comes to whatever smoldering mess is now left of Stephen A. Smith's reputation. First, Smith was caught playing Solitaire during the pivotal fourth quarter of the Oklahoma City Thunder's win in Game 4. Smith responded to the controversy by laughing it off and saying he's capable of multitasking while still watching games he's ostensibly paid to pay attention to for ESPN. That, of course, was an obvious lie. Advertisement HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF: Ja Morant ripped Stephen A. Smith's tasteless comments about Memphis With only the fourth NBA Finals Game 7 this century on tap for Sunday night, hoops fans were begging the famously brash and loud Smith to do a more responsible job of setting the stage for what should hopefully be an epic evening in Oklahoma City. They wanted him to respect the magnitude of the game more, rather than making his coverage as part of ESPN's in-game studio panel all about himself, like he always does. Unsurprisingly, Smith did not oblige. Early on ESPN's broadcast, what should've been a simple conversation about an over/under for Chet Holmgren's final Game 7 point total devolved into Smith totally veering off track so he could yell about his frustrations with Kendrick Perkins' analysis (which is normally a fair criticism, to be clear). That's right, dearest readers. Smith turned pregame coverage of a potentially legendary Game 7 into a manufactured First Take debate segment. His shamelessness boggles the mind. Advertisement During Smith's aimless (and needless) rant, you could actually see former Golden State Warriors executive Bob Myers growing frustrated when the camera panned over to his face. And after Smith finished bloviating about nothing, Myers said what we've been thinking about him for quite some time. You don't have to yell to make your points. You just don't: If ESPN has any self-respect about its live NBA coverage remaining, it's clear that this studio show needs to be blown up before the next NBA season begins. I'm talking torn down to the studs. I'll hold off on salting the earth because I think it could still be redeemed with enough earnest effort and creativity. Advertisement Anything else, and we risk further exposing ourselves to the Stephen A. Smith Show, er, I mean, the winner-take-all championship game.

He held the WBO super middleweight title between April 2016 and December 2018, defending the belt five times before moving up to light heavyweight in 2019.

Later elevated to full champion status Dorticos defended that belt with a KO of Dmitry Kudryashov. He surrendered that title to Murat Gassiev in his next outing, losing by TKO in the 12th round.
