How could you not know him? His credits include (actually are limited to):
Heavy metal boy, student, street kid, bmx kid, Jack, Jeff, superscout and newspaperboy
How could you be unaware of that kind of star power?
I was a fan of Little House..and Willie Olson was just a hoot on that show!
Me neither... I used to watch a lot of TV back in the 80s and might recognize him... I certainly don't recognize his name...
I’m sure Bobby appreciates your advice. Maybe I’m naive, but I thought the point was to be aware of this guy Everett (and his various alias’) his mother and try to find the kid. If I read it right..no one has seen the 8 yr.old for quite some time. Maybe the FBI hopes that someone will spot him in another country while on vacation.
How could you be unaware of that kind of star power?
His role as Heavy Metal Boy changed my life and to this day, I can't even talk about the depth he brought to the role of superscout without openly weeping.
You mean he played student? My God, how could I have forgotten that performance. Such emotion, such passion, such star power! I was outraged that he never got an Emmy for that role.
Look, I understand what you're saying. He committed a terrible crime. But the article had no photograph to help us and gave us no way to really remember what the guy looks (or looked) like. I didn't mean to make light of his crime, I was just commenting on the overall poor quality of the article.
Don’t recognize him. Who is he and what did he “star” in?
BTW his sister is Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingals)
If you actually look at the numbers, only a miniscule fraction of a % "go wrong." There are thousands of kids who perform in film and TV every year.
How many get in any kind of legal trouble every year? A handful at most.
Well..it has a source link that even I could see, find and use. The link goes to FOXNEWS and has a picture of him, his mother and son (at age 3) and what they think the son would look like now.
Oh, the source is on page 2 in case you didn’t go there.
Sarcasm on; The problem is not the reporter, the problem is people like you who don't understand that it is your job to read the story and accept the facts as presented. Everything you need to know is included in the article. It's the stupid readers who insist on asking questions about articles that are written to the highest standards of professional journalism. And, don't call them reporters, they are journalists. They don't report, they journal. ;Sarcasm off.
I thought it was a pretty weak article too. “Have you seen this man?”, went to the link, clicked both pages, no photo. That’s why I posted the link to the America’s Most Wanted website.
Yeah, I went there, believe it or not. But you know what? Some info about his acting background should have been in the first two paragraphs. I shouldn't have had to go to another website entirely just to find out the guy had a part in Peewee's Big Adventure. I stand by my criticism. This reporter did a poor job.
Tod Bridges went from shooting a series, to a series of shootings. Old (and bad) joke.
Looks like he could have been Mikey from the LIFE cereal commercials...
No, no, no...he isn’t WHITE.
If white...mugshot. If the suspect is black, Mexican or Muslim, he is a “teen”, “immigrant”, “youth” or “person of interest”.
The political correctness police would rather not offend a rapist, robber or murderer than actually apprehend him.
Oh come on, EVERYBODY remembers “BMX kid” from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. < /s >
