Remember Jeremy Miller? From 1985 to 1992, he was one of the most visible child stars in America, thanks to his role on the phenomenally popular ABC sitcom Growing Pains. In the comedy about the well-to-do Seaver family of Long Island, Miller played third-oldest sibling Ben, a mischievous, wisecracking grade-schooler, and agent of chaos who by the end of the show had evolved into a cool teenager and self-sufficient schemer.
