About the show
SHOWBIZ KIDS offers an unvarnished look at the high-risk, high-reward business of working as a child actor in the entertainment industry. Written and directed by former child actor Alex Winter (BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE, THE PANAMA PAPERS), the film chronicles the shared experiences of prominent former child stars and the personal and professional price of fame and failure on a child.
The film features a wealth of intimate, revealing interviews with successful child actors such as Henry Thomas, who starred in E.T. at the age of 11; Mara Wilson, who first appeared in MRS. DOUBTFIRE at the age of 6; Todd Bridges, who was on TV’s DIFFERENT STROKES beginning at age 13; the late Cameron Boyce, star of Disney TV’s JESSIE at age 12; Milla Jovovich; Evan Rachel Wood; Jada Pinkett Smith; Wil Wheaton and more.
