From the Entertainment Bracket, it's the first round matchup of the serious actors!
Rick Schroeder
Richard Bartlett “Ricky” Schroder (born April 13, 1970) is a Golden Globe Award-winning American actor who began his career as a child actor. Schroder debuted in the 1979 remake of the movie The Champ, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best New Male Star of the Year in a Motion Picture at the age of nine. In the following year, he made a Walt Disney feature film called The Last Flight of Noah's Ark with Elliott Gould. Although Schroder’s performance is generally recognized as good, the film bombed at the box office. He also starred as “Little Lord Fauntleroy” in the movie of the same name alongside Alec Guinness in 1980. He became well-known as the star of the television series Silver Spoons, when he played the lead character Rick Stratton. As he grew older, he struggled to become known as a serious actor. He changed his name credit from Ricky to Rick and preferred to take roles which helped him to stretch as an actor. Schroder’s co-starring role in the Western mini-series Lonesome Dove and its sequel, Return to Lonesome Dove, helped Schroder’s attempt to be recognised as a mature actor. Still, it came as a surprise to much of the public when he was chosen to act in the series NYPD Blue, notorious for its partial nude scenes. Schroder was ranked #18 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Kid Stars and #33 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Teen Stars.
