While I was searching for a gif of the saxophone guy (Tim Cappello), I learned that he actually went to audition for the Gary Busey role in Lethal Weapon and ended up being brought to Joel Schumacher who offered him a role in The Lost Boys on the spot.
Joel had seen a picture of Tim in Andy Warhol's Interview magazine (in a story about Tina Turner). Joel had that photo of Tim on his wall in the production office and had been trying to track him down for weeks so he could offer him the part.
Tim has played with Ringo Starr, Carly Simon (who led him around the stage on a leash while he was wearing only a g-string), Peter Gabriel, Eric Carmen, and Tina Turner (he played the saxophone on "We Don't Need Another Hero" and appeared in the video).
Tina was the one who gave him his first codpiece, which became a signature part of his look (he said she found it an an S&M store). The chains he wore were inspired by necklaces worn by female exotic dancers. The outfit he wore in The Lost Boys was his own. It was his idea to wear pink and purple tie dyed pants.
