Ricky is sitting front of a burning oil drum. Only thing missing is Randy Quaid.

Former Silver Spoons child actor Ricky Schroder hopes our truckers will shut down DC, shut down Sacramento, shut down Albany, shut down these states, and this capital to root out this evil.

They make me tilt my head sideways, like a confused dog.

(26,288 posts)I guess he made some good investments and/or is surviving off of 'Silver Spoon' residuals.
It really looks like that show was his longest running work. Everything else is a handful of episodes in some series or a role in a movie of the week. Admittedly it's more TV work than most get but 5 years with nothing industry related?

(11,742 posts)He can't get work because of the wokemobleftistpedofile racket in Hollywood. I mean it can't be that he was never that good an actor anyway and has made his name toxic with his stupid behaviors. I has to be the other thing, right? right?

(26,288 posts)The work started to dry up as soon as tfg started campaigning. Even Dean Cain has been working. Not in anything significant - a bunch of what looks like religious themed movies likely backed by some evangelical organization. BUT he's working.

(26,288 posts)And what kind of lifestyle he's supporting. He certainly doesn't look like a 'high maintenance' kind of guy.
I know he has one ex-wife and 4 kids (although I think they are all adults, now). Life in that part of the country is VERY expensive so if he's still getting that kind of income without having any industry work in 5+ years, it must be residuals and wise investments.

I hope he gets the help he needs. I think that in his world and in his mind his words, thoughts,
and actions make sense.
Hollywood, some TV network, and agents made a lot of money on him so one might think they
can get him some help and a place where he is safe.

(25,965 posts)I sleep with the TV on. Last night it was on TCM. I woke up and noticed that The Champ was on. It occurred to me that the two main characters, Jon Voight and Ricky Schroader, had become colossal RW douchebags.

I actually went to his FB and told him to seek help via a comment. A few people even agreed with me. He won't listen, of course, but I did my duty re a disturbed person. And he is disturbed.
P.S., the barrel is always part of his videos. Don't ask me why.

(18,497 posts)Especially those like Rick who were just a marketable face without much real talent.
It was over once the cute grew too rough for filters to fix.
Not really much sympathy, though.
He's fully chosen this level of madness.

(18,497 posts)But they are the ones with astounding talent to begin with.
Jodie Foster - numerous awards Justin Bateman - recent Emmy Kirsten Dunst - nominated this year for Oscar Ron Howard - very successful director
And they probably had a better support system than their parents just seeing them as a cash cow.
