Before Tracey Gold had parents who loved each other on Growing Pains, her parents hated each other in The Child Stealer. The 10-year-old gave a powerful performance in that 1979 movie of the week.
Before Hugh Jackman hosted the Tonys, he saw his first Broadway play as he prepared to bring Sunset Boulevard to Australia, as seen in Sunset Boulevard and the Palace of Dreams. You could tell the 27-year-old was bound to be a star in that 1996 doc.
Before Randall Park was the villain Moriarty on Watson, he worked at the even more evil IRS in Tax Man. What do you think of the 25-year-old’s hair in that failed 2010 pilot?
Thanks to my friend Joe, who sent this to me. It is scary how much they predicted about DOGE, 25 years before it happened.
Before Micky Dolenz was clowning around on The Monkees, he was adopted by a clown on Circus Boy. How awwwdorable was the 10-year-old in that 1965 episode?
Before Nathan Fillion was saving people who were being held hostage on The Rookie, he was being held hostage on One Life to Live. He looks the same now as he did when he was 22 in that 1994 episode.
