Closely similar to Travolta's "Grease" character with that tight black shirt.

I can see the casting director saying "Get me a John Travolta type." since Travolta by that time near the height of his fame would have been too expensive.
I could be a morning person if morning happened at noon.

The Buddy Reperton character is almost IDENTICAL to Billy Nolan, the character played by Travolta in CARRIE.
And William Ostrander, who played Buddy Reperton, does look a bit like a beefed up Travolta, so I can see the confusion.
And the film/ book takes place in 1978, when a lot of young men went for the " Travolta look."

When this was made in 1983, Travolta's career was virtually dead. If you look at his page here you'll see he made very few films in the 80s and most of them were rather forgettable. He probably would have killed for a chance to play this part.

I wish Buddy would have told Christine: "Up your nose with a rubberhose bitch!" before she ran over him.
