A child star [Hook] that actually turned out like a normal person

[Q]

No idea why but I was watching some clips from Hook (1991 film w/ Robin Williams as Peter Pan), and eventually was clicking around on the actor's names, when I clicked on the kid who played Peter's son, Jack. I expected to see something pertaining to drug problems, etc since let's face it, many child stars for some reason turn out poorly.

Anyway, much to my surprise, he did a lot with his
life: graduated from MIT, worked for missile defense for US Govt, got Juris Docorate degree, etc etc.

Just thought it was kind of interesting?? Probably not so I'll stick up a clip from Hook to save this thread 😀

I've always wanted to like Hook, but I just can't get past how bad it is.

Well I agree, but I was like 5 when I used to watch this all the time (no joking), so everytime I see it, it reminds me of being little, so I naturally love it.

The guy who played Chunk in The Goonies is an entertainment lawyer in LA. IIRC, he ran for a student gov't position as an undergrad and ran his campaign around his childhood picture and "Vote for Chunk!" caption.

The actor that played the kid in The Black Stallion had his car hit by an 18-wheeler and he ended up in the hospital for a very long time. After he got out, he got a trucking license and now drives an 18-wheeler.

I always thought this kid was far more famous for being in What About Bob? than Hook, but hey, whatever.

In July 2007, Korsmo wrote, and subsequently passed, the New York State Bar exam.

How hard could it be to pass a test you wrote? And what is a student doing writing the bar exam anyway?

Ya mean he didn't turn out like Danny Bonadouche? :shocked:
