The first time I heard of him was on the show "Life Goes On", where he played an 18-year-old boy named Corky who was mainstreamed into regular classes with his younger sister; he had a number of other roles on TV and movies thereafter. I found him to be talented; and in addition to that, I had heard he was a musician, singer, and author, as well. I'd say he's made a name of success for himself.
