TV kids your age

What child TV stars are your age?
When the show was new and first aired you were the same age as the kid in the show. For me:

Lisa Loring - Wednesday on Addams Family
Eve Plumb - Jan on Brady Bunch
Danny Bonaduce - Danny on Partridge Family

Re: TV kids your age

Shit man, you just want to expose everyone's age huh? I have a feeling some will refuse to answer as they are sensitive about their privacy and age.

Neve Campbell (Party of 5) 51

Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) 51

Josie Davis (Charles in Charge) 51

Tina Yothers (Family Ties) 51

Me too! Except I’m as old as the movie version of Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci.

Re: TV kids your age

I think everybody from the cast of Saved by the Bell

Seth Green

Alysson Hanigan

I am much more proud of the movie actors who turned 50 this year since they are some of the all time greats in cinema.

I just went through all the young casts of "Top 35 Sitcoms of the 80s" at IMDB and........NOTHING. Not one kid-actor (From the shows I watched) was born in 1977.

Now, 1976 on the other hand, holy shit! There's like 15 to choose from!

I was surprised to find out Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson were all my age. When I was a little kid and saw Jackson on TV I thought of him as a stupid little kid, like high schoolers think of junior high kids. The kid I most related to was Will Robinson on Lost in Space but he was 4 years older than me in reality.

Re: TV kids your age

I'm still baffled at my loss But I did go back and eventually found just ONE actress (I guess she played a friend of Small Wonder, a show that I never got to see)

But here's a reminder on how loaded the class of '76 was:

Fred Savage
Josh Saviano
Candace Cameron
Brice Beckham
Danny Pintauro
Jeremy Miller
Soleil Moon Frye
Joey Lawrence
Benji Gregory (RIP)

Wow. That's unique. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having a crush on Marcia Brady. With the exception of every straight male TV viewer alive in the 70s, of course.

Mellisa Joan Heart, Jonathan Brandis, Keri Russell, Alicia Silverstone (only 16 in the Crush and Aerosmith's Cryin, which seems insane to me), Ryan Reynolds (in Canada at least), Reese Witherspoon, Jaleel White, Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler). '76 was loaded.

FYI, Canada has the same criteria of determining age as the US.

You don't use metric years up there?

I just meant he was a kid star in Canada, I don't think he got his big break here until later.

I figured that was what you meant, I was just being a smartass, that's my default mode.

Can't speak for other Canadians but I was first aware of him from Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place. I never watched many Canadian shows as a kid, so I never saw any of his earlier work as a youngster.

Yeah, I don't remember Reynolds at all but I do remember Mike Myers from King Of Kensington ...
