Being born into a Hollywood family is both a blessing and a curse; some child actors with famous parents and grandparents end up being brats who can't handle the pressure of the biz, others end up like Keith Coogan, a beloved child actor who builds an insanely successful career and carrying down a legacy that would make grandpa (legendary actor Jackie Coogan) proud! Keith Coogan got his start when he was a literal child in the late 1970s with a string of impressive credits on beloved shows like The Love Boat, The Waltons, Eight is Enough, Mork & Mindy, and Fantasy Island. That alone is enough to hang your hat on as an adult and he did all of that before his 13th birthday! As with most famous kids, Disney came a calling and Keith then lended his voice talents to the classic film The Fox and the Hound (1981) as the younger Tod. As he entered his teen years, that is when he became much more memorable to us who grew up in the 80s and early 90s with staring roles in cult classics Adventures in Babysitting (1987), Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead (1991), and Toy Soldiers (1991). He comes our way as Ted Danson's son in the 1989 comedy Cousins, where he spends a good chunk of that one sans shirt at the ripe age of 18. With his killer smile and adorable boy next door looks on the other side of 40, it's no wonder Keith is still getting plenty of work and actually played himself in the 2019 comedy Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Hopefully cutie Keith keeps racking up credits because we have always been big fans of that million dollar smile!
