An example of a down-and-outer would be Manuel Benitez/Mark Everett, a former child actor who was killed in the hostage standoff a couple of days ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Benitez

I thought that was the reason this thread was bumped when I saw it.

[QUOTE=UAIOE;3551419]No huge loss, however his brother is doing the acting stuff nowadays.

Personaly I think both of Macaulay's brothers are better actors than he ever was... I think Mac's "acting" ability has actualy declined in recent years.

I've been wondering that myself. So many of them just disappear off the face of the earth.

That kid from Jurassic Park disappeared, too. Eerie...

He dated a friend of mine a while back, so we hung out a few times. Very strange guy. He actually goes by the name "P.C." (for Problem Child) and insists people refer to him that way.

Christian Bale has done allright.

Now...

(In the Pink on the right in case you can't tell)

"Poor Alfalfa" my ass.

He was a rotten little bully who tormented the kids on the set of 'The Little Rascals'. He especially beat up and humiliated the child who played the bully character in the show 'Butch'.

He died because he was drunk and pulled a knife and tried to knife a guy over like 40 bucks, the guy shot him to keep from being stabbed.

Junior from Problem child looks scary as an adult.

Wouldn't you be strange if you were known as the poor man's Macauley Culkin?

If you had a mug like that, you'd be a weirdo by default.

Christian Bale was 12 or 13 when he did Empire of the Sun and grew up to become Batman.

Whoah. I always wondered what happened to Junior.

I saw that too. He is a Man now.

Peter Billingsly came to mind.
