It’s crazy how many of them go off the rails yet parents keep seeing the dollars.

The latest from the one and only Goldberg. Dude is only 41 in that picture.

I have a friend whose kid is a child actor. Been on several shows and does a lot of voiceover work. I don't understand why parents want their kids to be stars so bad. Seems like 75 percent of the time it ends up bad.
 
This thread reminds me of how much of a star I thought Brad Renfro was going to be.
 
If the words” I’m gettin a tramp stamp on my neck” ever came out of my mouth I would hope someone would smack the **** out of me.
Step aside neck, face tattoos are all the rage now.
 
My daughter had a stage where she was really into this JoJo Siwa young lady. I'm just waiting for her inevitable fall from grace.
 
I think one of the biggest problems for child actors is they and their parents think it will just continue. Then when many grow up and are no longer cute they don't get any roles.

For young men they go through a phase where they are too old to play teenagers anymore but don't look old enough to get roles as men. Very few can transition seamlessly through that like Johnny Depp and Leonardo DeCaprio did.
