At least post-Charles in Charge? To give you a better idea (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/HollywoodHypeMachine/ExamplesThatDidntHoldUp):
Scott Baio (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/ScottBaio) made his screen debut as the title role in Bugsy Malone, before going on to play Fonzie's cousin Chachi Arcola in the sitcom Happy Days: with his character becoming so popular he headlined his own spin-off, Joanie Loves Chachi, alongside Erin Moran as Joanie Cunningham. While his film career attempts went nowhere following the horribly reviewed Zapped! (1982), Baio's television career continued thriving with Charles in Charge and Diagnosis: Murder. But starting in the 2000s, Baio receded into reality TV and cameos (besides his recurring role in Arrested Development). Baio tried nabbing a comeback with the sitcom See Dad Run, but low ratings and reception killed those hopes. He's become notorious lately for many controversies, notably spreading conspiracy theories that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax and being accused by Charles in Charge co-star Nicole Eggert of sexual assault.
