Petrer Ostrum played "Charlie" in "Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory" but it was the only movie he ever made. Reportedly he chose not to pursue a show business career after that movie . He reportedly denied being the kid who played "Charlie" whenever anyone asked.

David DOremus played "Hal" in "Nanny And The Professor" It was not a particularly prolific role, but after that show went off the air, he quit acting and disappeared and like Peter Ostrum he reportedly would try to deny or not talk about the fact that he played "Hal" in Nanny And The Professor"


Anissa Jones played "Buffy" in "Family Affair" and was said to be the "Shirley Temple" of her day. But after the show was cancelled, she did not want to go back to acting and even became a juvenile delinquent and spent time in a juvenile detention center and when she temporarily worked in an ice cream parlor she did not like it when people recognized her. It is reported that her mother had her audition for "The Exorcist" but she was not chosen because the producers felt that people could not see Anissa as anyone other than "Buffy."
Of course, Anissa Jones died at the age of 18 from a drug overdose.


Brian Forster who played "Chris" on "The Partridge Family" never really went on in show business and eventually became a race car driver. Ricky Seagall who was a regular for a short time on some of the very last episodes of The Partridge Family became a minister. Suzanne Crough who played "Tracy" on PF, did not continue in show business and became the manager of a Staples store.

Who else?

Two pre-teen actresses from the early 1970's.

I forget her name at the moment, but she played Phyllis daughter on the MTM show.

Pamela Ferdyn - Her most continuous role was on Lassie. She also played Edna #1 on the Odd Couple. On an episode of Marcus Welby, she had a few scenes with Paris Hilton's mother, Kathy Hilton.

Lisa Gerritsen.

Lisa Gerritsen.

I was not familiar with her name, or maybe I had not heard it in such a long time that I forgot it. After a while it did sound familiar. I looked it up.
I remember her from other TV shows. I might have sometimes confused her with Dawn Lyn (who I think is Leif Garrett's sister) and/or Erin Moran.

I think Lisa Garritsen was a regular in the TV show "My World And Welcome To It." I don't recall the name of her character.
I must have been under 10 years old when that was originally on the air.
I do recall an episode in which a boy who had a crush on Lisa Garritsen's character had to put up with another boy who was a bully and also had a crush on the same girl. And the first boy talked with an old man ( and I am not sure if it was the grandpa of Lisa Garritsen's character) who encouraged him to be courageous and stand up to the bully. Then by the end of the episode, the first boy hits the bully in the nose after the bully dares him to try something, and the bully just holds his nose and cries, and Lisa Garritsen's character then feels sorry for the bully and tells the other boy off and invites the bully inside for cake to cheer him up. Lisa Garritsen's character's parents saw the incident and the mother asks the father "What is she doing?" (regarding why their daughter was so fickle and sided with the bully instead of the more gentlemanly other boy) and the father says "She is just being a girl."
Anyone recall this episode and what its name was? I might have to ask in a different thread.

Wasn't she in an episode of Star Trek in which she was in some kind of "Kid's Cult" ? (Try the link below. I hope it works).
I hear that in reality, she grew up to be radical animal-rights activist and got in trouble with the law.

Lance Kerwin

Mark Lester. Played the title role in Oliver! (1968), Black Beauty, Run Wild Run Free, also the underrated Our Mother's House. His last movie was in 1977.

Eric Shea - did guest spots on Gunsmoke and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Was in Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball.


If acting isn't their thing anymore, I think it's a good thing if child actors disappear when they get older. Most of the time, if you hear about an ex-child actor, it's a bad thing.

Tracy Stratford who also voiced Lucy Van Pelt and had other various acting roles including 2 Twilight Zone episodes. Last acting job was in 1969 according to IMDb, now a librarian in Washington state.

The season 1 cast of "Facts of Life" (minus Molly Ringwald) who didn't become series regulars in season 2----Felice Schachter, Julie Anne Haddock, Julie Piekarski. I don't think any of them did much work after FOL.

Ami Foster and Casey Ellison from "Punky Brewster" basically vanished from acting after the early 1990's, and haven't done anything since. Soleil Moon Frye continued acting until she had children and has been retired from acting ever since. She apparently does some TV hosting occasionally. Cherie Johnson continued acting post-Punky with a recurring role on "Family Matters" but has only worked sporadically since then.

Two cast member from "Just The Ten of Us" cast vanished after the show--- Heidi Zeigler and Matt Shakman. The other kid's from the show Brooke Theiss, Jamie Luner, Heather Langenkamp and Joann Willette continued acting and became working character actresses.

Ike Eisenmann (the boy from the "Escape from Witch Mountain" films, and many other TV movies of the 1970s)

Twins Joseph and Christian Cousins were mostly in the same movies and tv shows throughout their childhood acting careers.

They appeared in the films Kindergarten Cop (1990), Critters 3 (1991), and Twin Sitters (1994).

On TV they had a few bit parts but are mostly known for their stint on "Knots Landing" as 'Bobby Ewing'. They haven't acted since the 1997 mini-series "Knots Landing: Back to the Cul-de-Sac".


According to many "Where Are They Now?" articles, Joseph is now a hair stylist and Christian is a furniture salesman.

I didn't click on the link, but I think you're referring to the episode "MIRI". If so, no she wasn't in that. It was Kim Darby.

(trivia: that STAR TREK episode was partially on the main street of Mayberry from THE ANY GRIFFITH SHOW)

Wasn't she in an episode of Star Trek in which she was in some kind of "Kid's Cult" ?

That episode was "And the Children Shall Lead" which is among the worst of the series.

Venus DeMilo is an actress who was most famous for the Nickelodeon series "Salute Your Shorts" and she worked steadily as a child actress from 1991-2003 and then vanished until she started getting a couple bit roles in 2016.

Brian Forster who played "Chris" on "The Partridge Family" never really went on in show business and eventually became a race car driver. Ricky Seagall who was a regular for a short time on some of the very last episodes of The Partridge Family became a minister. Suzanne Crough who played "Tracy" on PF, did not continue in show business and became the manager of a Staples store.

Who else?

Brian Forster was the 2nd Chris Partridge. The first was Jeremy Gelbwaks, who appeared only during the first season and then left show business entirely when his family moved away from California. He would have probably have been replaced anyway since the cast would complain about him been very disruptive on the set and even biting another actor.

Brian Forster had done some acting before he got the role of Chris. He appeared in the first season of "The Brady Bunch" in the episode "Eeny Meeny Mommy Daddy" as an actor in Cindy's school play. (He was the little bird that kept running around the stage asking for the princess.) Before that, he was on "Family Affair" in the episode where Buffy breaks her leg. There's a very funny scene where a little boy is eating a bag of peanuts while waiting for an elevator. The elevator door opens and suddenly an elephant reaches out and eats his peanuts. The boy then starts crying and complains to his parents. That's Brian.

That episode was "And the Children Shall Lead" which is among the worst of the series.

I only recently have read comments about that episode being so "awful" in the minds of critics and even a lot of "Star Trek fans."

I actually disliked the TV show Star Trek for the most part. The dialogue seemed to be more for adults and I preferred "Lost In Space."
However the one overall episode I did like was "And The Children Shall Lead."
When I first saw it, I was a kid, maybe 8 years old, and did not think that deeply in terms of a "Well written" plot, but I think "And The Children Shall Lead" is a classic one. I have heard that certain people think that the plot is "weak." It seems to have a good beginning , middle and end to me.
I think that Star Trek in general is filled with cliches and rehashes of what has ever been made into film or written in novels about humans and "humanoids" traveling in outer space. So I don't understand how this episode was so disliked.
There are YouTube videos which show certain parts of the episode and the point is to show how certain TV series in the 1960s sometimes were everything from prophetic, to too gruesome and scary for a show is meant for the entire family to watch .

"Retro4Life"
I think I read somewhere that Lance Kerwin got in trouble with the law. I recall he once played in an episode of the Saturday morning kids show "Captain Marvel." Actually so did Danny Bonaduce after the Partridge Family was cancelled.
I do recall Ike Eisenmann. When he grew into his mid teens to late teens I saw him in a chewing gum commercial and that was the last I recall of his on screen career.

"gidgetgrape"
I also remember Eric Shea . I think he played in a movie called "Smile" which was about young women in beauty pageants, and he played in "The Poseidon Adventure." He was the only kid in a cast of adults.


"factsoflife"
Didn't Soleil Moon Frye, after she grew up, have the misfortune of needing breast reduction surgery? No wonder she decided to get out of the public eye. How about her brother Meeno Peluce, who played in the TV version of "The Bad News Bears" ?


I think another kid actor who disappeared after he played in movies and TV was James Michael Wixted. He played in a Disney TV movie called "The Wacky Zoo of Morgan City." He also played in "Family Affair" as a run-away boy who Buffy and Jody wanted their uncle to adopt. Anyone recall him and what might have become of him?

Another one that comes to my mind is Armando Islas who played in Disney TV movies most notably "Pablo and The Dancing Chihuahua." Anyone know what happened to him? There was another boy who, way back then, I often mistook for Armando Islas because they looked somewhat alike and talked alike. It was Manuel Padilla , who I heard died years back. He played in a movie called "Cutter's Trail" and played in a Gunsmoke episode in which the plot was somewhat re-created. He also played as "Jai" in the TV version of "Tarzan"
Recall these two?

I think it's wonderful that child actors can find another occupation after their days in the spotlight. Jeanne Russell, Margaret in Dennis the Menace wanted to continue in the business after Dennis but find it difficult to stay, for no roles were coming her way. She attended college and does work in the medical field and I don't think she had a role since Dennis. Just how many kid stars grow into adult roles and have a career in show business.? Not that many.

When I saw the name Eric Shea, I mixed him up with Christopher Shea.

I am currently watching Odd Couple reruns, and that is where I saw Christopher Shea. I just googled him and was shocked to hear that he died at age 52, of all things - natural causes.

There was a (British?) pre-teen/teen actress named Pamela Franklin. I sometimes mix Frankin up with Ferdyn.

When I saw the name Eric Shea, I mixed him up with Christopher Shea.

Easy done since they were brothers.

Phillip Mckeon from Alice.He was pretty good on the show but seemed to fall off the radar after Alice ended it's run.

Moosie Drier. I'm not sure if I spelled it right,but he made a lot of guest appearances on many 1970s and early 80s TV shows.Rusty Stevens,Larry from Leave it to Beaver is another one.

Kathy Coleman from "Land of the Lost". But, she's been doing a lot of conventions lately and has a new book out, called "Run, Holly, Run" about her life in and out of Hollywood.

Soliel did in fact have breast reduction surgery, caused by a medical condition called gigantomastia, which literally means "giant breasts." She had this surgery when she was 16 years old in 1993. It was a few years after "Punky Ended", but at the time she was still very actively working in the entertainment industry. In fact her last acting role (excluding voice over work and cameo appearances) was "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" a role she played from 2000-2003.

I mix them up all the time because they look alike. I remember reading about Christopher passing away here when it happened. Very sad. I especially liked his guest spot on That Girl.

Danielle Brisebois from All in the Family and Archie Bunker's Place; Buddy Foster from TAGS and Mayberry RFD; Dylan and Cole Sprouse from Disney sitcoms and Grace Under Fire didn't do anything beyond their teen years; the three Sweeten kids from Raymond (one of the twins committed suicide a couple of years ago); haven't heard of Angus Jones doing anything after 2-1/2 Men; Bobby Buntrock from Hazel (now deceased, I think); Rusty Hamer and Angela Cartwright from Danny Thomas (Hamer now deceased); Dana Plato from Diff'rent Strokes (now deceased)

I mix them up all the time because they look alike. I remember reading about Christopher passing away here when it happened. Very sad. I especially liked his guest spot on That Girl.

I never knew that Eric Shea had a brother who was an actor. I guess Christopher Shea must have been older than Eric if Christopher acted in That Girl show.

There's three Shea brothers, the 3rd and youngest is Stephen who was born in 1961. Both he and Chris voiced Linus Van Pelt in the Peanuts specials. Eric, the most successful of the 3 did not voice any Peanuts characters.

Moosie Drier. I'm not sure if I spelled it right,but he made a lot of guest appearances on many 1970s and early 80s TV shows.Rusty Stevens,Larry from Leave it to Beaver is another one.

Actually, Moosie Drier had some success as an adult actor, playing Riley the soda jerk on Kids Incorporated from 1984 to 1988.

Dylan and Cole Sprouse from Disney sitcoms and Grace Under Fire didn't do anything beyond their teen years;deceased)

One of the Sprouse Twins is actually on a CW show called "Riverdale" this season.

11 Nickelodeon Child Stars Who Don’t Act Anymore (http://www.fame10.com/entertainment/11-nickelodeon-child-stars-who-dont-act-anymore/?streamview=all)

Beyond Brady reunions and reality shows, I think you could easily put Mike Lookinland, Susan Olsen, and Christopher Knight in this category.

Jon Provost from Lassie, Ken Weatherwax from the Addams Family, Stanley Livingston, Dawn Lyn, and Tim Considine from My Three Sons, Brian Morrison from Maude, Erin Murphy from Bewitched, Danny Cooksey from Diff'rent Strokes, Stanley Fafara of Leave It To Beaver (now deceased)

There are so many child actors who didn't stick with acting when they became adults it's hard to name them all I'm sure.

Jake Lloyd. He got so much undeserved hatred after he played a young Anakin Skywalker (future Darth Vader) in The Phantom Menace he never wanted to act again. And I can't say I blame him.

The girl who played the youngest Chrissy Seaver, on Growing Pains. Ashley something, I can't think of her last name right now. Other than the couple of reunion films they did for Growing Pains I've never seen her in anything else after Growing Pains ended its run. I remember seeing her in a few TV commercials too before she got the role of Chrissy but I never thought she was such a good actress anyways.

Ashley (Johnson, by the way) is actually the opposite. Her resume is huge, including a ton of voice work.

Ed.I believe you're talking about Ashley Miller. I remember seeing her on Growing Pains and she was such a darling actress in the role of Chrissy Seaver when she was young and it's a shame that Ashley Miller never has been seen in any other shows now as an adult because Ashley Miller had such a talented career in TV

Her name is actually Ashley Johnson and she has actually had a very long and successful career post-Growing Pains. After "Growing Pains" she starred in several series including"All American Girl" (an ABC series starring Margaret Cho); Phenom (an ABC sitcom co-starring Judith Light and William Devane); Maybe This Time (an ABC Sitcom starring Marie Osmond and Betty White); "Dirt" (an FX series starring Courteney Cox). She has also done tons of episodic work on various shows; and is currently one of the main stars of the NBC drama series "Blindspot".

Staci (or Stacey) Keenan was a fantastic actress who starred on two hit series "My Two Dads" and "Step By Step" and did numerous episodic roles and TV movies in the late 1980's and 1990's and then after "Step By Step" kind of just vanished, I believe her last credited role of substance was the 2010 movie "You Again."

Her Step By Step co-stars Angela Watson, Christopher Castile, Brandon Call, Emily Mae Young and Josh Byrne also quit acting after the series; never to be seen again.

Family Matters Kellie Shanygne Williams and Jamie Foxworth Jr haven't had very successful careers post-Family Matters either. In fact, Foxworth actually ended up addicted to drugs and doing pornographic videos. She has been something of a staple in the tabloids for her horrible post-Family Matters career.

Does anyone remember a child star that starred in a short-lived CBS sitcom called Meego that starred Perfect Strangers's Bronson Pinchot and then after Meego was cancelled the child star moved on to appear in Target commercials and finally appeared in the movie Stuart Little. Mom used to have a crush on him because she thought he was so funny in the Target commercials
Bestie

Sarah Stimson who played as Little Miss Marker (the version with Walter Matthew and Julie Andrews in it) in 1980.

Also Michael Hershewe who played in Casey's Shadow (1979) also with Walter Matthew starring.
At least I have not heard of what these kid actors went on to do.

Thank you very much for your reply. I always wondered what happened to Jonathan Lipnicki because you don't hear much about him anymore. Is Jonathan Lipnicki still doing commercials as an adult now or did he retire from acting to focus on other things?

If acting isn't their thing anymore, I think it's a good thing if child actors disappear when they get older. Most of the time, if you hear about an ex-child actor, it's a bad thing.

Eric also appeared in the "Cindy Brady, Lady" episode of The Brady Bunch.

Mara Wilson was famous throughout the 1990s for her roles in Mrs. Doubtfire, Miracle on 34th Street, Matilda, and A Simple Wish.

After Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) she decided to stop acting (on film/tv) until fairly recently. She told US Magazine in 2012, "Film acting is not very fun. Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the director's eyes, you 'get it right', does not allow for very much creative freedom. The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare."



Today she spends most of her time writing for online news and blog sites and published a memoir in 2016 on her life as a former child star.

Her more recent acting roles were a cameo in Comedy Central's "Broad City" and a voiceover role on Netflix's "BoJack Horseman" in 2016.

He still acts, mainly in direct to video horror trash. His most famous role being the little kid from Jerry Maguire.

That chubby little girl Tina, from the sitcom with the actress who used to play Muffy on Square Pegs never got work after that show. I forget it's name. the mother was a dental assistant and the father worked in a JC Penney.

Quin Cummings from the Goodbye Girl didn't get work after the movie. She homeschools her daughter now.

BestieBefore Meego he played Jeff Foxworthy's son in the 2nd season of The Jeff Foxworthy Show.

Quin Cummings from the Goodbye Girl didn't get work after the movie. She homeschools her daughter now.


I don't know if anyone already answered this, but after "The Goodbye Girl" Quin Cummings was cast in the TV show "Family" (with Kristy McNichol, Sada Thompson, Meridith Baxter Birney etc) for at least a while. As far as what I recall, she played a girl who's parents died and who was adopted or taken in by the family .
I guess it meant that "Family" Jumped The Shark.

Butch Patrick's most known role was as Eddie Munster in "The Munsters" but he did a Disney movie called "The Young Loner" (or something like that) and he did an episode of "The Monkees" and after he grew into his teens he acted in the Saturday morning TV show, "Lidsville." But he seemed to have disappeared after that even though I heard that he worked behind the scenes.

Also I think that the girl who played "Wednesday" in The Adams Family (the original TV show with John Adams as Gomez) disappeared after that show went off the air. I am not sure.
The boy who played Pugsley was related to the Weatherwax family who trained several generations of collie dogs to play "Lassie." I am not sure if he went on to do any more acting roles after The Adams Family or just went back to the family business of training dogs for movies and TV.

Lisa Loring (Wednesday) did go on to work on "As the World Turns" for a couple of years in the late 70's/early 80's. And I'm pretty sure she made some low budget horror films in the 80's, but otherwise, no, she hasn't done a lot of acting. I think she still does the convention circuit, though; not sure.

I saw Lisa Loring on As the World Turns before I really knew who she was. She became a mother at age 15.

Angela Watson - I remember reading something about her parents stealing the money she earned as an actress.
Josh Byrne/ his character disappeared while Step by Step was still on.

Ken Weatherwax became a grip and stagehand as an adult with the occasional reprising of Pugsley in reunion shows. Unfortunately he died a few years ago after a heart attack.

Brian Bonsall

Tommy Norden and Luke Halpin who played Bud and Sandy on the 1960s series Flipper. I only know them for that series and after it was cancelled I don't know that either one of them did anymore acting roles again.

Kelly Reno. He played the boy Alec in a late 70s movie version of The Black Stallion (It was either 1978 or 1979 if I remember). The movie also starred Mickey Rooney, and Terri Garr played his mother. It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. I've seen it a few times and I think Reno is terrific in it. I think he might've done a few TV guest spots after that and then dropped out of acting. I seem to remember that Entertainment Tonight interviewed him in the late 80s and he was living out west somewhere and actually working on a ranch (cattle or horse I can't remember now) and he seemed quite happy with his life.

Robert "Rusty" Stevens, who played Larry Mondello, in the "Leave it to Beaver" series. Apparently, in recent years, Rusty has been purposely staying out of the limelight and has declined offers for TV appearances.
