Caulfield was cast as Rydell High newcomer Michael Carrington, who falls for Stephanie Zinone, the leader of the Pink Ladies, played by none other than up-and-coming actress Michelle Pfeiffer. But in a revealing new interview with Fox News Digital, Caulfield opened up about why it was clear he and Pfeiffer probably wouldn't have the same level of onscreen chemistry as John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, who made the original film a runaway success.
"We did not have the kind of relationship thatJohn Travolta and Olivia Newton-John did," he explained. "They were so symbiotic, they absolutely loved each other. Michelle and I only had to play being in love. And we both just got married. So, there was no question about any [lines] being crossed in that regard."

While all the stars of the original film were instantly skyrocketed to superstardom, the actors weren't sure how the response to Grease 2 would be in the public eye.

What Happened to Caulfield After 'Grease 2'?
"When the film… didn’t take off, I went down with the ship," Caulfield told Fox. "But she rose like a fabulous phoenix."
"I did hope to be embraced by a movie-going audience," he said. "I did aspire to represent a certain mantle of cool that movie stardom bestows upon you… There’s just something about achieving that kind of tremendous success," he noted.
"Empire Records?’ Never heard of it," he joked while speaking to Fox. "Empire Records is an extraordinary thing. It’s up there with Grease 2 in terms of a movie that literally nobody went to see on the opening weekend, but thanks to you, kids, you revived it from the graveyard of cinematic bombs and elevated it to genuine cult status. And I did get to play a strutting peacock in that."
"I hope one day to work with her again," he shared. "She’s a wonderfully generous actress."
