To give you a better idea (https://popculturereferences.com/who-was-the-best-preteen-tv-sitcom-star/):
Most child actors on TV sitcoms who aren’t teenagers are terrible. Occasionally, you’ll see a TV drama with good young actors, but preteen actors on sitcoms are mostly dreadful, so I figured we should spotlight the BEST preteen actor we can think of.
I’m going with Alyssa Milano, who was 12 for most of the first season of Who’s the Boss?, and she was excellent right off of the bat. Danny Pintauro was also on that show.
She had a charisma to her that really drew you to her, and it was no surprise that the show soon gave her lots of spotlight episodes. I’m still a bit surprised she didn’t become a bigger star. She’s had a solid career, but with how good she was at 12, I wouldn’t have been surprised had you told me she would later become a movie star, like another great early teen actor, Jodie Foster.
