I was watching the Cosby Show and realized that the actors who played the kids were very good in that show, they held their own against Cosby and Phylicia Rashad. Who are some other younger (under 18 or let's say under 21) actors who were exceptionally good? The guy who olayed Beaver in Leave it to Beaver was good and the actors from Malcolm in the Middle come to mind.

Alyssa Milano and ahhh i cant remember his name,but the guy who played Jonathon,were great actors on Whos the Boss.
Also,Brighton in the Nanny was very good in his role,Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold in the Wonder years and my favorite-Theo in the Cosby show.

I've never been a huge fan of Full House or Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but I have to say they were great. They were so young when they started that role, and they always had a lot of lines and/or actions. I always wonder how they got them to act so well at such a young age, like when they were two or three. Jodie Sweetin, too, was only about five when she started her role on that show and she was great at it, too.

Rider Strong, Danielle Fishel, Ben Savage and Will Friedle(not sure how young you want to go in this) from Boy Meets World were really good

The guy who was Brighton Sheffield on the Nanny was a great actor,and i have to mention Theo Huxtable as well.He was terrific.

He was good when he was younger,but i noticed that as he got older,its like he forgot how to act! I dunno if anyone else noticed but he could hardly speak a full sentence! It was alot of ah....yeah....ohhh....uhhhh.Its like he developed a speech problem during puberty.

Renee Olstead on Still Standing is the best young actor currently on T.V. By the way it was Benjamin Salisbury who played Brighton on The Nanny.:wave:

Danny Pintauro.:)

Michael J. Fox on Family Ties. All three teens were good actually.

Lisa Gerritsen on The Mary Tyler Moore Show was talented.

The actors on My Three Sons did a good job.

Brandon Cruz on The Courtship of Eddie's Father was outstanding.

What do you think of the youngest character to have a series named for him?. Dennis the Menace. Jay North.

Kenny the neighbor kid on The Cosby Show was funnier than any of the Huxtable children.

Jordan on The Bernie Mac Show
Dewey on Malcolm in the Middle
Wesley on Mr. Belvedere
Jake on Two and a Half Men
Rory on 8 Simple Rules
Tina on Still Standing

Sara Gilbert on Roseanne.

My nominations would be the kids on The Brady Bunch, Family Matters, Step By Step, The Waltons, and The Wonder Years.

Ronny Howard was the best kid tv actor as far as I am concerned. He was so natural and believable!:)

On The Andy Griffith Show he was so dang cute! And I agree On Happy Days he was the most believable actor on there!:D

The Brady Kids,and the Cosby Kids were brilliant-special mention goes to Theo,my favourite Cosby kid.
I agree with Ron Howard as well.I always had a soft spot for him.While he wasn't exactly a 'dreamboat' he was cute,and a terrific actor.

Renee Olstead on Still Standing is the best young actor currently on T.V.Yeah, she is pretty good. Really hot too.
