Who do you think is the worst or one of the worst child television actors? My pick would be Janet Jackson,just absolutely terrible in every way.

Jackson Brundage on One Tree Hill

Gary Coleman
Todd Bridges
Dana Plato
All six child cast members of the Brady Bunch
That kid who was on The Ropers
Erin Moran Happy Days
Scott Baio Happy Days

No offense but I never cared for Clint Howard as an actor or child actor.

The Carrie twins from 'Little House on the Prairie'

Tracy on 'The Partridge Family'

Richie on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'

Jackson Brundage on One Tree Hill
I never heard of him or that show,my guess is it's probably a modern tv show.I don't watch any of the modern shows because in my opinion they are no good.No offense to anyone.Since the shows are no good the child actors must be terrible on the newer shows too.I guess I should have originally asked who is the worst child actor on the older television shows.

Ike Eisenmann
Glen Scarpelli
Pamelyn Ferdin
Robbie Rist
Adam Rich

Richie on 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'



Second on Richie. As much as I like that show, I couldnt stand Richie, he was beyond annoying.

Scott Baio


His character pretty much killed Happy Days for me

The twin boys who played Nicky and Alex on Full House

The twin boys who played Sam and David on 7th Heaven.

I don't know any of their names because all four have thankfully quit acting.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dawn Lyn, "Dodie" from My Three Sons -- although personally I didn't mind her at all, she seems to be very unpopular with sitcom fans.

C'mon, Susan Olsen was a real charmer in Season 1 at least...!


Erin Moran Happy Days

Erin was adorable on Daktari a few years before taking the HD role.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Dawn Lyn, "Dodie" from My Three Sons -- although personally I didn't mind her at all, she seems to be very unpopular with sitcom fans.i met her once she was very very nice and in fact even thought i didnt ask her about it i have heard her say in interviews that she herself wished that the my three sons producers had not made dodie as whiny as she was to them it was cute to dawn and other fans dodie;s whining was annoying

I'm probably going to have to hide after this, but Jerry Mathers was an okay child actor who turned into a terrible adult actor.

I'm probably going to have to hide after this, but Jerry Mathers was an okay child actor who turned into a terrible adult actor.tv critic tim brooks didnt care for jerry;s adult acting ether as for me i think he was a great child actor but his adult acting while not awful is not really great ether

Outside of TV cameos does anybody have a list of shows and movies that he did as an adult.

Really, just Still The Beaver/The New Leave it To Beaver.

How about any actors and actresses on DISNEY&NICK;those kids are loud,obnoxious,but it's not their fault if they can't act;blame the adults that ought to be training them!
