@@MsMojo I know, right! I'm so lucky! It was back in 1988. He was about 14, but he looked like he was only around 11, at the time. It was a week long camp hosted by NMSU and, as far as I understood, the late Mark Medoff was the main reason theatre camp even existed. At the beginning of the week, we were all paired up with somebody and tasked with writing and performing a skit at the end of the week. He was partnered with a girl and they wrote and performed a romantic piece. To this day, I can only remember his part, I don't even remember who she was or what she looked like. There was a dramatic part where he was on one knee, holding her hand, looking up into her face, and crying. I looked to my right, then to my left,... EVERYONE'S jaw was _on the floor_ from amazement! He was SOFA KING GOOD! Even better than the instructors! Shortly after that, Clara's Heart came out, and you all know the rest! My only interaction with Mr. Medoff was when I told him his Porsche was cool and he replied, "It's pronounced PORSH-AH! LEARN HOW TO SAY IT CORRECTLY!" And I've never mispronounced Porsche incorrectly, since!

And then just this year, he made a MAJOR career comeback as an adult in Everything Everywhere All At Once. And he was said by many to be one of the standouts in that movie.

I remember being a kid, watching “My Girl”, and thinking Anna Chlumsky was SO beautiful!! She’s a few years older than me so I kind of idolized her in a way. When I was around 8 or 9, I used to buy BB and BOP magazines and they’d have addresses in them where you could write to your favorite movie stars. I wrote to and received responses from Christina Ricci, Tiffani Amber Thiessen, Larisa Oleynik… but my favorite was from Anna Chlumsky. The others were so clearly just sent from a rep or a secretary or something, as they were just autographed photos of the girls. But Anna’s response was a full sized glossy image where she’d actually written a message TO ME, with my name and EVERYTHING on it, and signed her name. I was legitimately GOBSMACKED! So I will FOREVER love her. And no I don’t still have the autographed pictures. Apparently when you’re 9 years old you don’t think much about how much you’d value certain things in your adulthood and you fail to take proper care of such things. I honestly have no idea what happened to them 😔

Hayley Mills was a great child and teen actress who later gave us joy as an adult. Pollyanna, The Parent Trap, The Moon Spinners, The Chalk Garden, The Trouble With Angels and many others. Many baby boomers have terrific memories of her performances. Her father, Sir John Mills, was a fine actor who worked with her in movies sometimes. Juliet Mills, her sister, was a toddler and child actress, in movies including The Rare Breed starring James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara, and played a marvelous witch in the quirky soap opera Passions as an adult. They would make a fine pair to feature along with their father.

This is compared to others (I won’t name anyone here ) who unfortunately ended up on drugs, criminals stuffs , having severe mental health issues etc. ..most of the time bc adults around them failed to protect them and / or were just $$ hungry .

He never "went away and then came back as an adult". He simply did films that weren't as high profile or big as HP. And let's be honest, most films (outside of Disney Marvel) aren't as big as HP. However there was no gap or chasm in his career where the work "dried up and the phone stopped ringing" and he never took a hiatus. No 7 year gaps where he didn't get any acting gigs. He's just less famous no than during the era of HP mania.

I don’t understand the title of this video in relation to your picks. Especially your number 1 choice. Christian Bale never went away in the first place. He has done at least 1 film or tv show a year since his career began. Yes he was a child star. And yes he is an adult star now. But he never stopped working as an actor while he transitioned from one to the other. So how exactly does he have a “comeback” career as an adult?

Most of them never stopped acting. Sean Astin & Mayim Bialik, to name 2. Maybe we don't understand what a comeback is. 🤔

Y’all need to make a part II. Lots of legends were missed. P.S. Wan’t Drew five years old in ET?

*Sean Astin* has been acting steadily since 1985, when he was 14.🥰 He's not missed a year since then. that you glossed over his starring roll in "Encino Man" & title roll in "Rudy" is an insult.😮 Same with *Mayim Bialik.* She worked straight through, while getting her education. Most of these actors didn't have "comebacks" after a long break from acting. they just didn't get major lead parts for a while.

What about Kim Fields?! She was a child actor in the 70's starring on"Baby I'm Back " and some work on" Good Times ". Those roles led to her being on" The Facts of Life ". Then, as an adult, she starred on" Living Single " and directed quite a few TV shows and even plays. She's currently working on a Netflix series called the" The Upshaws". She's amazing and inspirational!

I wish Cole and Dylan Sprouse had a debt as infants in a sitcom playing 1 character. Much like Mary Kate and Ashley as Michelle Tanner in Full house

Just like Ke Huy Quan last year, there are some child actors i would like to see making a comeback, with a great performance, great box office success, and maybe, winning an Oscar. Those include: -Macaulay Culkin -Haley Joel Osment -Corey Feldman -Linda Blair -Rupert Grint -Todd Bridges -Austin O'Brien (the kid from Last Action Hero) -Henry Thomas -Lindsay Lohan -Miranda Cosgrove -Trevor Morgan -Robert J. Steinmiller Jr. (the kid from Bingo) -Christina Ricci -Gaby Hoffman (Kevin Costner's daughter in Field of Dreams) -Hilary Duff -Anna Chlumsky -Thora Birch -Emma Watson -Raquel Castro -Jaleel White -Miko Hughes -Tom Felton -Amanda Bynes -Patty McCormack -Daniel Radcliffe -Kyla Pratt -Raven Symone -Jamie Bell -Soleil Moon Frye -Melissa Gilbert -Alison Arngrim (aka Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie) -Jodie Sweetin -Madeline Zima -The Sprouse twins (both on their own, of course) -Dakota Fanning (and maybe Elle, too) -Jonathan Lipnicki -Fred Savage -Noah Hathaway

Jodie Foster also starred in The Little Girl Down The Lane in 1976 (creepy). Also occasional parts in The Courtship of Eddies Father TV show. I don't think she should be classified as a "comeback", she was acting all along.
