It’s amazing how some actors and actresses get started in the industry. Many of them get little television roles that nobody remembers until years later when the reruns play.
I’m watching Brad Pitt on Growing Pains. Can you believe it? Back in the day, Kirk Cameron was one of the most popular teen heart throbs. Brad Pitt was a nobody. It’s hilarious. Girls had posters of Kirk Cameron on their walls. He had this hit show for years.
Some would say that Kirk Cameron’s career disappeared because of his conversion to Christ. Perhaps. I haven’t been around to see whether he’s auditioned for many parts. I have seen him several times on random local Christian television stations talking about how to evangelize.
Brad Pitt is one of the most popular people on the face of the earth. Kirk Cameron is all but forgotten. Of course, some would argue that Cameron has devoted his life to something much more worthwhile. I’m not one of those people who enjoys Christian tv programming or films. I think they fall far short of industry standards when it comes to acting quality, script writing, directing, producing, etc.
Personally, I’m not worrying about which actor has the greatest affect for the Kingdom. I’m selfishly more concerned with who produces quality entertainment, a fact for which I do not apologize.
