> [@Sr\_Siete](#): > > Seriously NPH? I mean, it’s great that you’ve been hitting the gym and all, but come on… If you saw _Birdman_, this will make more sense. But yeah, theatre folk rank pretty low on the “personal modesty” scale. You usually can’t afford to, with quick changes and folks in and out of the dressing rooms and whatnot … but he’s got it, so he can flaunt it! ---

Little House on the Prairie, Silver Spoons and Valerie. Also one-off appearances here and there and I think commercials. His sister Justine is also a child star. She was in Family Ties.
