Brian Bonsall

Brian Bonsall may have been a rock musician, singer, and guitarist, but he rose to prominence as a child actor. He started to gain attention when he played the role of Andrew “Andy” Keaton on the hit TV series Family Ties. He has won three young artist awards for his outstanding performance in the series. Aside from this, he got a prominent role in another TV show, Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also did the movies Blank Check, Mikey, and Father Hood in the early ’90s.

However, after being part of these mega-successful shows, the 38-year-old star’s career started to plunge. Bonsall decided to retire from acting at a very young age. This decision took a toll on his financial status, as he eventually lost all the money he got. He even had to pay for his lawyers after having several legal issues.
