The 1978 low budgeter Almost Summer top-bills Kirby as a &#8220;mover and shaker&#8221; high schooler who helps a nice-guy student, Darryl (<a href=\"https:\/\/toompark.com\/filmibaas\/tag\/john-friedrich\/\">John Friedrich<\/a>), run against his former girlfriend. Darryl resigns from the class presidency when he learns the election was fixed. But Kirby is popular enough to win the re-election, without the crooked political machinations of certain school administrators. Featured in the cast were several members of Hollywood&#8217;s 1970s equivalent to the 1980s &#8220;brat pack&#8221;, including <a href=\"https:\/\/toompark.com\/filmibaas\/tag\/didi-conn\/\">Didi Conn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/toompark.com\/filmibaas\/tag\/lee-purcell\/\">Lee Purcell<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/toompark.com\/filmibaas\/tag\/tim-matheson\/\">Tim Matheson<\/a>.
