Does everyone realize that Bryton McClure wasn't the first actor to play lil Richie? Joseph Julius Wright played Richie on the first season, but was removed when they wanted to make Richie a bigger character, but they couldn't do so with Richie as an infant for another 2-3 years.

I think it's sad, because I don't think Mr. Wright has had an acting job since

Many shows do that. Fresh Prince, Growing Pains, Family Ties, Boy Meets World, but Full House didn't-lucky for the Olsen twins.

But I believe that Full House did do that with the Katsopolis twins, Nicky and Alex.

They also did it on Step By Step with Lily.

I think the reason shows do this is because it's probably very difficult to have Toddler aged Children act.

That's right, but I still don't understand why they didn't do that with the Olsen twins.
