80's child star Jerry Supiran is homeless and sleeping on the streets of LA.
Small Wonder child star Jerry Supiran is homeless.
Supiran, who played 12-year-old Jamie Lawson on the hit U.S sitcom, lost his small fortune to a series of unfortunate events during his teenage years and he has been having trouble finding work ever since.
He tells the National Enquirer, "When I was 18, I dated a stripper and she took what was left of my trust fund - then one of my advisers stole a half-million dollars from me.
"I've worked at different steakhouses for the last 15 years, but two years ago I was laid off from a restaurant in Henderson, Nevada, due to the economy. I haven't been able to find a job since." And now the former actor, who also appeared in Little House on the Prairie, is living on the streets in his native California.
Supiran, aged 39, adds, "I had to move back to central California, where my brother lives with his family, and while he helps me with hot meals and a shower, he doesn't have the room for me to stay there. So I either sleep at the homeless shelter I volunteer at, or under a local bridge.Jacked from Contact Music

This economy is hard on EVERYONE. I hope he finds a job soon; I used to love Small Wonder.
Wait. What he meant to say is ,"I dated a stripper, and I gave her the rest of my trust fund."
Child starts dont learn nothing else beyonf Hollywood and if they dont have parents who love them beyond the fame and money then they are really screwed. Hollywood chews and spits all people out even children and when they are not living and breathing fame they are mostly being moloested. Most of them never have a real chance in life.
