He is also one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting (either lead or supporting) in every decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other one being Michael Caine). He has won seven Golden Globe Awards, and received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2001. In 1994, he became one of the youngest actors to be awarded the American Film Institute's Life Achievement Award.

When teenager Charley Brewster discovers that his mysterious new neighbor Jerry is actually a vampire, he finds himself in mortal danger. Desperate and terrified, Charley reaches out to Peter Vincent, a washed-up horror movie actor and TV host, hoping to enlist his help in stopping the undead predator. Together with his girlfriend Amy, Charley must navigate a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as Jerry grows increasingly hostile and supernatural. As the vampire's true nature becomes undeniable and his hunger intensifies, Charley transforms from an ordinary teenager into an unlikely action hero, forced to use his wits, courage, and whatever weapons he can muster to survive the night. The film blends horror, dark comedy, and coming-of-age themes as it explores themes of growing up, friendship, and the thin line between fantasy and reality. Peter Vincent's gradual transformation from skeptical charlatan to genuine ally adds emotional depth, while Jerry emerges as a charismatic yet terrifying villain. Fright Night captures the thrill of horror while maintaining a darkly comedic tone that keeps audiences engaged and entertained.
