Junior Was One of the Best Child Actors Ever.............

He was absolutely adorable and hilarious! Except maybe Macauley Culkin, he was the best child actor ever. I wonder what he's doing now and if he's as adorable as an adult...

He completely outshone even the adult actors in these movies (with the exception of John Ritter), it's amazing the way he held his own for being just a young child.

I don't know why he was never in any other major movies....must be typecasting.

What was so great about him? Have seen many child actors way better than him.

lilmarlin, you obviously don't know a whole lot about movies.

He was great as evidenced in both Problem Child films. There was something real about him unlike most of these child actors where it's obvious they are reading from a cue card.

I have to say that 3 best child actors are:

Junior (Micheal Oliver)

Macauley Culkin (Home Alone, Uncle Buck and Richie Rich)

Norman (Devon) on Cop and A Half.
