Mostly, child stars still look like themselves when they grow up. Ricky Schroder can call himself Rick Schroder and be a badass on NYPD Blue or whatever, but he still looks very much like the rich kid son of the eternally almost famous Joel Higgins on Silver Spoons, or perhaps the little boy in The Champ.
Sometimes, the grown-up doesn’t look like the kid at all. Here are five adult photos of child stars that I found particularly interesting. Do you know who they are? Your only hint is that each received major exposure in a television show and/or film during the second half of the 20th century. I’ve ordered them based on my assessment of difficulty (easiest is first). Good luck. Answers Friday evening.

FYI – According to recent interviews I’ve seen, Rick Schroder is back to calling himself Ricky. I’ve seen these interviews, not beceause I was a huge Silver Spoons fan, but because he is now on “24”. So, he’s definitely working on keeping the “bad ass” angle these days. (I still haven’t decided whether I like him in this role or not. I think his best line so far this season was, “Damn, Jack!” while surveying the carnage that Jack had wrought.)
I have no clue to the identity of the child stars you have pictured…
