Home > Child actor

 
The term child actor is generally applied to a child acting in motion pictures or television, but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child; to avoid confusion the latter is also called a former child actor.

Closely associated is teen actor, an actor who reached popularity as a teenager.

Examples (movies they appeared in are mentioned only if they were still a child):

The term "child actor" carries some stigma as child actors sometimes have troubled adult lives, due in part to their unusual upbringings. A well-known example of this is the child cast of the 1980s sitcom " Diff'rent Strokes." Child members of that cast grew into adults who had several run-ins with the law, and one member died of a drug overdose.

On the other hand, there are child actors who had successful careers in adulthood like Roddy McDowall and Bill Mumy.

See also child singer.
