The term "Hollywood Brat Pack" is a bit ambiguous and doesn't have a definitive, universally accepted list. However, it generally refers to a group of young actors who gained fame and notoriety in the 1980s, often known for their rebellious image and roles in teen-oriented films.

Here are some of the most commonly associated names:

The Core Group:

* Emilio Estevez: (The Breakfast Club, Stakeout, Young Guns)

It's important to note that the "Brat Pack" wasn't a formally recognized group, but rather a label given by the media to a set of actors with similar careers and public images. The term sometimes carried a negative connotation, suggesting a lack of seriousness or talent.

Many of these actors have gone on to successful careers, proving that the label didn't necessarily define their lasting impact in Hollywood.
