Eric Scott is mostly known for his character of Ben Walton on the television show “The Waltons.” He’s been in three marriages, most recently to Cynthia Wolfen, with which he has two children. His second marriage, from which he has a daughter, ended after the death of his wife from cancer.
Scott has revived his famous character a number of times, for reunions or specials. On the other hand, Scott has mostly moved away from acting and now owns a parcel delivery service, Chase Messengers, in California.
Robert Downey Jr.
You're probably quite familiar with RDJ thanks to his superstar-making role as Tony Stark in the Marvel movies. But he began as a child in his father's film, "Pound," playing Puppy. He enjoyed steady acting gigs until he began a difficult struggle with addiction and even landed in prison.
He managed a second chance at fame after getting – and remaining – clean, getting more success than ever before. RDJ is married with three children, including son Indio, who is gaining steam as a musician.
RDJ’s Eldest Son
Robert Downey Jr.'s eldest son, Indio Downey (from his previous relationship with Deborah Falconer), is already an adult, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Indio inherited his father's addictive personality and has struggled with a drug problem of his own.
However, with help from his famous father, Indio made his own way back to sobriety, a remarkable feat for someone so young. In 2016, Robert Downey Jr. announced that Indio had remained committed to recovery.
Valerie Bertinelli
Bertinelli's TV debut, on "One Day at a Time," earned her a Golden Globe in 1981. She starred in "Sydney" and "Café Americain," neither of which earned much notice, before joining the short-lived-yet-memorable "Touched by an Angel." Bertinelli has gone on to appear as a popular spokeswoman for the weight loss products of Jenny Craig after she shared her struggles with body image and weight loss.
She's gone on to join television grand dame Betty White, as well as Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves on "Hot in Cleveland," from 2010 to 2015.
Laurence Fishburne
What if I told you Laurence Fishburne started acting at the tender age of seven? He appeared on the soap opera "One Life to Live." Ten years later, he appeared in the famous film "Apocalypse Now," in which he played a young soldier in the Vietnam war, but wasn't even as old as his character!
He's most well-known for his role of Morpheus in "The Matrix" and its sequels but has done plenty of other projects. For example, starring in the TV series "Black-ish," and has been in a television miniseries about Nelson Mandela called "Madiba," in which he is playing Nelson Mandela himself.
