Picture a vibrant disco floor, where the beat of dance music ignites the spirit of the late '70s and early '80s.

He captivated audiences not only in the cult classic horror flick "An American Werewolf in London," but also in the whimsical Disney romp "Midnight Madness." Naughton’s infectious energy also shone through in the short-lived sitcom "Makin' It," where he starred and lent his voice to the catchy theme song "Makin' It," which resonated with fans and climbed the Billboard charts.
