Child Stars Come Full Circle: A blog around how former child actors, who were popular in the 90’s tv shows and movies, have come back to TV and film with new roles.

Actors like Danny Tamberelli (The Adventures of Pete & Pete), Jaleel White (Family Matters), and Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains) are all making a comeback to the silver screen. Find out why these former child stars, who were once the most loved on TV, disappeared from mainstream media and what they’re up to now.

We all grew up watching such shows as The Wonder Years, Full House and Boy Meets World. These are just a few of the 90’s hits that most of us young adults watched growing up. While I am a fan of some of the current television shows, I find them to be quite different than those that I enjoyed watching when I was younger. Some topics that were covered in these 90’s shows would never be allowed on television now.

Now as we are growing older, we begin to see former child actors from then reemerge in new roles. It is interesting to see how they have changed over the years. One of my favorite shows that has brought back some former child stars is the TV show Fuller House on Netflix. This show is the sequel to Full House, which was one of America’s favorite family shows in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Fuller House brings back many of the original cast members including Bob Saget, John Stamos, Dave Coulier and Candace Cameron Bure (D.J.), Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy).

The main character is D.J., who finds herself living in her childhood home after her husband dies unexpectedly. She takes her three young boys and

I’m a huge fan of the 90’s. I loved watching many tv shows and movies, and my favorites were the ones that had child actors. The actors and actresses in the 90’s tv shows and movies have grown up and are now back on TV and film.

Shows like Full House, Boy Meets World, The Secret World of Alex Mack, The Parent Hood, Sister Sister, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Small Wonder, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Amanda Show and more were shows that I enjoyed watching when I was a kid. Now these shows are coming back to TV with new versions of them. Fuller House is a show that is now on Netflix, which is a sequel to Full House. Girl Meets World was a spin-off series to Boy Meets World and it aired on Disney Channel for three seasons. There are also reboots for Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Sabrina the Teenage Witch in development.

Movies like Home Alone (and its sequels), Matilda, Casper, Jingle All the Way (and its sequel), Now and Then, Richie Rich (and its sequel), Clueless, The Parent Trap (and its remakes), She’s All That, 10 Things I Hate

The 90’s were a time of growth for Hollywood. The children of this era grew up watching the child actors that became their idols. Now, those childhood idols have either found new roles or have come back to TV full circle. The 90’s child actors that have made it on television now include:

1) Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter in Boy Meets World) has started a blog with Michael Jacobs, creator of Boy Meets World, called Strong Jacobs.

2) Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter in Boy Meets World) has had a role in the hit show Pretty Little Liars as a recurring character.

3) Ben Savage (Cory Matthews in Boy Meets World) is currently playing the same role but older in the spinoff Girl Meets World.

4) Danielle Fishel (Topanga Lawrence Matthews in Boy Meets World) has also reprised her role as Topanga Lawrence Matthews in Girl Meets World.

5) Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Randy Taylor in Home Improvement), although not currently on TV, still holds the hearts of millions of young girls and has done several voice-over roles including Disney’s Lion King and Jungle 2 Jungle.

They came, they saw and they conquered our hearts with their acting! We are talking about the 90’s favorite child stars who are back in action, with new roles.

Here is a list of these stars:

Keshia Knight Pulliam:

The former Rudy Huxtable of The Cosby Show is all grown up and is starring in Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne. She has also appeared on NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice.

Raven-Symone:

She was already known for her roles in The Cosby Show (Olivia Kendall) and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper (Nicole Lee). But then she went on to star in her own Disney Channel show That’s So Raven (2003-2007) as Raven Baxter. Now she is back with a new TV show State of Georgia, where she plays Georgia Chamberlain.

In the 90’s, many talented child actors had popular roles on TV and in the movies. How are their careers progressing now? Did they continue to act through adulthood, or did they choose to retire from the spotlight? Let’s take a look.

Melissa Joan Hart first played Clarissa Darling on Nickelodeon’s Clarissa Explains it All from 1991-1994. The show showed Clarissa as an intellectual and artistic teen who was trying to make sense of her family and friends.

In 2010, Melissa returned to TV in ABC Family’s Melissa & Joey as Mel Burke, a local politician who takes in her nephew after his parents are jailed for financial crimes. This role is a far cry from her days as Clarissa – but it shows how she has matured as an actress!

Jason Earles first played Miley Stewart’s older brother Jackson Stewart on Hannah Montana in 2006. He stayed with the show until 2011, when he left to pursue new projects.

Jason will return to TV in ABC Family’s new comedy Baby Daddy in 2012. He plays Riley Perrin’s (Chelsea Kane) brother Danny Perrin.

In the 90’s, there were some really great shows on television and in the movies. While many of those shows have been rebooted and re-imagined, there is nothing like being able to see the original cast back together again. The reasons these particular actors are working together again can be attributed to a few things.

A) They had good chemistry and people want to see that good chemistry return to the screen.

B) There is a love for nostalgia and entertainment from the 90’s; people want to feel like they are back at home watching some of their favorite movies.

C) There is very little original content available anymore in entertainment; people are bringing back popular content from the past because it’s a safe bet that if people liked it before, people will like it again.

This blog is about all of those reasons listed above and more! Here you will find articles about old shows coming back with new seasons, character reunions on new TV shows or in movies, interviews with some of your favorite stars from the past, and much more!
