Ricky Schroder

As a young actor, there’s a very small group of kids, just a handful. As you get older, all of a sudden, there’s a bunch of guys your age that work. It’s a very different experience when you used to be on the short list because you were young and there’s only so many kids that can do the work and then all of a sudden you’re in your twenties and thirties and there’s a whole bunch of guys that can do your work.
