10. I saw something on tv about him

I hate to admit it, but I was watching one of those "Behind the Music" or "True Hollywood Stories" type shows and they did one on him. He's had nothing but drug problems since his teen years. I think he was convicted in a drunk driving accident that left one of his friends paralyzed, if I am remembering correctly.

Sad, though, how many of these former child stars end up in big trouble, like he, Bonaduce, Buffy, the kids from Different Strokes, etc. Johnny Whittaker (Jody) started a support group for them.

All the actors from "The Brady Bunch" grew up okay. According to Barry Williams' book, Sherwood Shwartz was a good producer and made sure that the kids all had as much normal childhood time as possible. He also said that none of them had really obnoxious stage parents.

I remember Leif's photo in "Tiger Beat" when I read it (in 3rd grade). I never remember what it was that he did-acting? Singing?

11. Both. Neither one especially well, if memory serves.

But he had the "look" that was in back then, and he made money for his corporate masters.

That's all that matters, I guess.
