Not all child stars end up like Lindsay Lohan. Business Insider lists six who went on to become successful lawyers, like Charlie Korsmo from Dick Tracy and Hook:
Law School: Yale
Undergraduate: MIT — Physics
Current job: Law professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law
Films: “Hook,” “What About Bob?,” “Can’t Hardly Wait,” “Dick Tracy”
How You Probably Know Him: As little Jackie Banning who discovers his father is Peter Pan (Robin Williams) in “Hook.”
The others include Samantha from Gimme a Break, Chunk from The Goonies, and Paul Pfeiffer from The Wonder Years – who somehow finds time to practice law and be Marilyn Manson.
