7. Scott Schwartz – Child Actor Dilemma
Life isn’t always easy for child stars, especially those who continue to pursue a life in the entertainment industry. With A-list actors like Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano barely making it through, what chance does a second-rate actor have? Scott Schwartz may have been instantly recognizable as the child that got his tongue stuck to a pole in the film A Christmas Story, when he was still young (and hopefully wearing the same bundled up clothing). His looks inevitably changed as he grew older, and the film opportunities didn’t exactly flood in. Instead of honing his craft, Scott chose to try and gain fame in his adult years by taking roles in dirty movies. Not only did it not help his film career, but it became just another sad cautionary tale for child actors.
