truth on hold Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33552387/ns/en...7/?beginSlide=1 Danny Bonaduce for me. btw, what happened to Todd Bridges' head? It's enormous
wide_right Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Why is Drew Barrymore on the list? She's been in several box office winners as an adult and remains a major hollywood attraction. And why are Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Crispin Glover and Gary Coleman not on the list? For me, I'd go with Olsen twins; annoying x 2. Can you imagine having to take a long car ride with those whiney elfs?
Bullpen Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Fallen category: Leif Garrett - we get it you're "unique" and all, but quit being a douche. Willie Ames - prior to being born again, this guy was possibly the angriest former child actor ever Dustin Diamond - the complete "look at me" guy, he picked up the torch carried by Willie Ames MacKenzie Phillips - ugh where to begin with her, the complete "look at me" woman. Lindsay Lohan - nah nevermind, too easy Not quite fallen, but definitely teetering: The Olsen sisters - wierd freakin Leemurs, what are you two staring at anyway? Eat a pork chop or something. Kirk Cameron - sooner or later this guy is going to either go Ted Haggard or Jim Jones on us. Hey WR, what did I miss about Anthony Michael Hall? I think he's transitioned to adulthood pretty smoothly. BTW, Barry Bonds thinks Todd Bridges has a pretty large nugget.

He should resurrect the "Bibleman" character with Willie Aames. btw, Cameron married a hottie from Buffalo, what the heck was she thinking?

Can you imagine having to take a long car ride with those whiney elfs? what makes you think Crispin Glover is a "fallen child actor"? He's in a big movie every couple of years (currently Alice in Wonderland) he makes these really insane art films he tours around the country as well as being a pretty astonishing artist. For me it's a tie between Kirk Cameron and Dustin Diamond. Screech is an obnoxious douche and Cameron is straight up creepy
Bullpen Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 For me it's a tie between Kirk Cameron and Dustin Diamond. Screech is an obnoxious douche and Cameron is straight up creepy What I don't get about Diamond is where he got the impression that he's a badass or something? I mean he's done that celebrity boxing deal, on the "reality" shows he's on he's always trying to intimidate other people physically. I don't get this tough-guy persona. He reminds me of the kid in high school, who would get in a fight and then strike the "Notre Dame Fighting Irish" pose like he was 30s style boxing or something and subsequently get his ass handed to him in his hat.

I saw a clip of him on some reality show last year or sometime, he was talking to some other famous guy (who I have never seen before in my life) about how he was a black belt. He started doing all these karate chops while telling the guy he could kill him with his bare hands. Other "famous" dude was doing everything in his power to not break out laughing. Arrogance and a comical sense of entitlement. Though I kind of want to read his Saved By The Bell tell-all book. You just know it's going to be 250 pages of claiming he nailed Kelly Kapowski

wide_right Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 The article was about child stars that fall into lives of torment. Those three don't qualify, IMO. well you bolded 4 and said 3 dont qualify. taken 1 at a time: Hall: i really dont know what happened to himl, so maybe he doesnt qualify. and hes so unimportant im not going to bother looking him up on wikipedia Lowe: caught making a sex tape with under aged girls, before sex tapes were in vogue. ok so he came back and got a tv show gig, he's still a loser and the sex tape seriously damaged his career ... remember he was most popular brat packer at the time, Cruise included Crispin: although technically he may not have disappeared, his performance on Letterman relegated him to perma-loser status in my book http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALapHYNSmoA Coleman: I don't see how being arrested for domestic abuse doesn't qualify as "fallen." you disagree? http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/01/...ing_on_bai.html
Fan in San Diego Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 How can Macaulay Culkin not be on this list?
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Robert Blake Damn those Little Rascals for starting all this crap!
Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Haley Joel Osment or whatever his name is....I couldnt stand watching him in movies Dustin Diamond also...creeps me out knowing there is a sex video out there of him an interesting note...anyone ever watched the show "Family Matters" you know with Steve Urkell? Well Jamiee Foxworth who played the youngest daughter Judy ended up becoming a porn star. Sad eh?
HopsGuy Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 It's probably a difficult transition from being a child star to just a regular person. I think my favorite people are the ones that managed to handle it with no problem: Danica McKellar & Ilan Mitchell-Smith to name two. How did Ron Howard, Jason Bateman, Fred Savage, Joey Lawrence, etc make it through to actually find adult success in the business? I'm sure I'd probably have ended up with a neck tattoo.

It's like dismissing Andy Kaufman for acting out on Letterman. He was on the movie star track and purposely embraced his weirdness in order to stay interesting. Clips like that are his appeal (and should make everyone miss the old Letterman show--hot damn that was a great show). He presents his films personally instead of having a wide release, does a whole evening of performance art and film. I caught it a couple years ago and was blown away. That guy doesn't have fans, he has followers. People just get obsessed with him. I thought I was a huge fan, but I was nothing compared to some of them.
KD in CA Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Crispin: although technically he may not have disappeared, his performance on Letterman relegated him to perma-loser status in my bookhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALapHYNSmoA Wow, that clip makes me miss the days when Letterman was funny.
Pete Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Wow, that clip makes me miss the days when Letterman was funny. not that it has anything to do with this thread- but after that Cripin clip I watched some douche cut up Tom Green's desk and find it amusing Green tooling on the loser- douche cuts up Tom Green's desk
