Line 38:
* Robin from ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' was one (in Canada). The rest of the group mock her mercilessly for it.
* In the ''[[Married With Children]]'' episode, "You Better Shop Around" Jerry Mathers (known for ''[[Leave It to Beaver]]'') guest stars, playing himself as a washed-up former child star, who has resorted to judging shopping contests in supermarkets. Bud and Kelly mercilessly mock him for this.

*** Film critic Leonard Maltin famously said that Watson was in "the early stages of babehood". Now that she's most certainly an adult and effectively an adult actress, she is considered to have reached that milepost.
** As a side note, [[Chris Columbus]], who directed the first two ''Potter'' films, previously directed ''Home Alone''. As he has discussed in interviews, Columbus is unhappy with how Macaulay Culkin turned out and considers this partly his fault. When casting the ''Potter'' kids, he was determined to avoid the same mistakes and tried to cast children with stable home lives.
* [[Phil Collins]]. Though he was a child model/actor who played [[The Artful Dodger]] in a West End production of ''[[Oliver!

** Another aversion: early productions of ''Oliver!'' featured Steve Marriott in the titular role. Marriott infuriated his family by choosing music over acting, given that he'd already established success, but went on to be the extremely popular frontman for Small Faces and Humble Pie.
* Whit Hertford was a fairly popular child actor and voice actor appearing in works like ''Jurassic Park'', ''[[Full House]]'', and ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', he came back into show business having a successful career as an actor, writer, and director.
