Holes is 20 years old!

Khleo Thomas, who played Zero in the 2003 hit film based on the 1998 novel of the same name, recently hosted a reunion for cast and crew at the Autry Museum of the American West in Los Angeles.

Among those who attended were Thomas’ Holes costars Shia LaBeouf (Stanley), Jon Voight (Mr. Sir), Byron Cotton (Armpit) and Miguel Castro (Magnet), plus director Andrew Davis and author/screenwriter Louis Sachar.

After Thomas, 34, and LaBeouf, 37, shared a greeting and embrace, they caught up about what they have each been up to as of late in their respective careers.

Voight, 84, and Thomas also shared a warm hug, after which Voight joked sweetly to his former costar, “How come you grew up?!”

The Most Nostalgia-Inducing Cast Reunions Through the Years

Later in the video, Thomas was joined by Davis and Sachar for a Q&A following a screening of the classic family film, where they reminisced about making it.

Thomas spoke about the challenges of playing a younger and quieter character in the movie as opposed to some of the other actors. The cast and crew were also all shown huddling together for a group photo.

Holes follows the story of “wrongfully convicted boy” (LaBeouf) who “is sent to a brutal desert detention camp where he joins the job of digging holes for some mysterious reason,” according to an IMDb synopsis. The film made $71 million worldwide on a $20 million budget, per Box Office Mojo.

Stars You Forgot Were in Disney Channel Original Movies

Aside from hosting a reunion for the coming-of-age film, Thomas recently tapped into ’90s nostalgia as he dressed as fictional pop sensation Powerline (voiced by Tevin Campbell) from 1995’s A Goofy Movie — and won a Mortal Kombat 11 tournament at the same time!

It all went down late last month at DreamCon in Austin, Texas, where the actor/gamer played as MK classic character Sub-Zero to best his opponents.

Thomas told Kotaku that Mortal Kombat is “a tradition with me and my brother that when the new MK game drops we play 100 matches to see who comes out on top.”

“We’ve done this with every single MK game. I’ve always chosen Sub-Zero and he’s always chosen Scorpion,” he added.
