I watched a lot of “Small Wonder” when I was a kid, but I have only the vaguest recollection of Jerry Supiran, the kid who played the young Lawson son on the show. Life after “Small Wonder” hasn’t been very good to him, however. He hasn’t worked in Hollywood since “Small Wonder” left the air, and now he lives under a bridge. Like, literally. Blame it on the strippers, naturally. According to the National Enquirer via The NY Post:
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,” Supiran told the supermarket tab.
The has-been actor’s final stop to homelessness came when he after losing his job as a waiter.
“I’ve worked at different steakhouses for the last 15 years,” he said. “But two years ago, I was laid off from a restaurant in Henderson, Nev., due to the economy. I haven’t been able to find a job since.”
Aww, that sucks for that dude, and as though to rub it in, Vicki the Robot is a Nurse out in Boulder, Colorado now. Show-off. I could’ve sworn, however, that Supira also played Lardass Hogan in Stand by Me, but it turns out that guy is doing OK, too, and by that, I mean: Not living under a bridge. Here’s Lardass’ before and after.
His name is Andy Lindberg, by the way, and good for Lardass.

But did he ever bang Vicki?
You know how everytime there is a corgi story Danger gets tweeted? That was my news feed today with Small Wonder hobo.
That’s mildly creepy…
but RELEVANT.
Still turned out better than Kirk Cameron.
Or Danny Masterson.
at least he didn’t turn into Marylin Manson like that kid from the Wonder Years
I dunno, I kinda liked him in Sixteen Candles.
BTW, the link where I found that image is a treasure trove, but be warned, Steven Tyler in high school will give you night terrors.
At least he didn’t get his face eaten off while living under that bridge.
Yeah, I was gonna say at least he doesn’t live in Florida.
Is it awful how focused I was on the obviously fake stream of vomit?
I mean COME ON it starts below his bottom lip.
“it was a funny angle!”
This post is a big-time troll magnet.
If life was fair, he wouldn’t be homeless.
He’d be neutered.
Dang. Lardass is kinda cute now.
Which is worse? Living under a bridge or starring in a “SyFy original”?
With SyFy , at least your working with Michael Bein or Don Johnson. If you are homless well you are probably living with one of em.
Okay, is it just me, or the before picture really really creepy?
