And the first breakdown in the movie for Stuart was the film "Stargate" directed by Rolland Emmerich, in which he played the role of Lieutenant Louis Ferretti. The character was not easy, and the actor had to try to create a believable image of one of the main characters.

Then he participated in the filming of many low-budget films, in which he played supporting roles and even played episodic characters. Basically, these were situational comedies, consisting of a huge number of empty series. “Klava, come on”, “The 70s Show”, “Becker”, “Just shoot me,” “The Drew Carey Show” and other films appeared on the screen one by one, but they didn’t make any impression on the public.

The movie "Home Alone-4"
Unlike the first version of the movie "Home Alone" with Macaulay Kalkin as Kevin, the fraudster Marv Merchant is doing his own business with his own wife, who has not gone far from him in terms of decency. The couple acts even more sophisticatedly, without reckoning either with losses or with the risk of getting one decent term for two. Woe-swindlers persistently try to enter the house, not thinking about what surprises await them outside the door.
