Name That Former Child Star
Here's a new game I just thought of.... so many child actors and actresses grow into adulthood and then either choose different careers after school or just fade away. Others continue acting, but not really in anything notable. So let's see how you guys are at recognizing a few that I chose. If no one guesses within 24 hours I will provide hints.
Please, one guess per person every 12 hours. Give others a chance.
All of these people had signficant roles as a preteen or a just-barely-teen in a major movie between 1980 and 1996. For (irrelevant) bonus points, name the movie that they got their big shot in.
#1.
Carrie Henn, Aliens
#2.
Mara Wilson, Mrs. Doubtfire and Matilda
#3.
Jake Lloyd, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
#4.
Henry Thomas, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
#5.
#6.
Jonathan Ke Quan, The Goonies and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
#7.
Tom Guiry, The Sandlot
#8.
Ross Malinger, Sleepless in Seattle
#9.
Tina Majorino, Waterworld
#10.
Danny Lloyd, The Shining

#2 is the youngest daughter from Mrs. Doubtfire. I'm sure she's in other stuff, but that's all I recognize her from.

The 2nd part of this game will be to guess how many of them have done porn after their fame ended.

Re: Name That Former Child Star
Very good, Surfer. Her name is Carrie Henn.
Also... I don't know if anyone was having a problem with #5, but I was, so I replaced it with another one.

Re: Name That Former Child Star
Yes, Brockster, #7 is Tom Guiry from The Sandlot. Well spotted!
And no, #8 is not Rocky's Kid.
Remember, one guess per 12 hours.
I expect #8 to be the one no one gets (maybe).
