Remember that obnoxiously precocious kid from “The Toy” with Richard Pryor (1982)?
While watching VH1’s “I Love the 80’s Strikes Back” this weekend, I found out that he’s a porn star now!?!? Well, according to his IMDB bio, he left the industry in 2000. But the show had clips of some of his work… Oh my God! It was so… gross!
Nameless, faceless porn stars: Fine
Former child actor porn stars: Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Could be worse: he could be Todd Bridges.
(I actually forgot Todd’s name before this post & asked a coworker to remind me of what it was. The response was, “Why? Is he in trouble again?”)
If I remember correctly, there was an E-True Hollywood story about him. Apparently after his 15 minutes were up no one would talk to him except for some friends he made at parties that were in the porn trade. After he realized he most likely wouldn’t work again, he took a few roles in porn to get some money. Eventually he decided to “go all the way” to less than spectacular results on film. That was a few years ago.
I must admit, he seems much more together than alot of other former child stars.
If you want to see a somewhat small picture of Shwartz now, look up on Google, using these keywords: “Scott Schwartz” Malle porn (with “Scott Schwartz” in quotes).
It’ll give you a link to a site with an interview with a porn actress, last named Malle. WARNING: this page is DEFINTELY not work-friendly–several porn photos on it. About half-way down you’ll see a picture of what appears to me to be a rather dumpy Schwartz, posing with some porn stars.
I must say, I don’t remember him all that well from “A Christmas Story” and I don’t think I’ve seen “The Toy.” But my curiosity got the best of me so I had to find out what he looked like now.
I can’t believe no one has said it yet but if I remember the movie correctly then the little boy’s last name was Bates and he was always announced by his servants as Master Bates!
