Most child stars are just that: Children who got famous before they turned 18 and then disappeared forever, never to be heard from again (i.e. Jonathan Lipnicki or the little boy from "The Shining") Or the child stars get an ego by the time they turn 11 and completely turn into adult sh-t shows (i.e. Danny Bonaduce, Corey Feldman).
But some child actors have actually made a comeback. These former child stars are actual, normal, real life actors now. It's almost like they were never child actors!
Neil Patrick Harris: NPH had the potential to become such a forgotten child star. He was so popular playing the child doctor on "Doogie Howser M.D." that his crash and burn could have been epic. However, somehow he overcame the pitfalls of starring on a show about a teenage doctor and the campiness of that show actually made his popularity as an adult even better. When he first appeared as Barney Stinson on "How I Met Your
Mother," he became even more popular because everyone was like, "Hey, it's that guy from Doogie Howser!"
