what's the name of that movie he was in?

i read

the child star's autobiography,

about how he

struggled in the early

years between

three and ten,

always

type cast as the cute

kid

with a funny laugh

and grin

and how

his tyrannical

parents

and manager

controlled his money,

gave him

a paltry allowance.

it's a cautionary

tale for

young thespians.

the therapy that he's gone

through,

from

the roles he's been in.

he promises

that now,

at the ripe old age

of eleven

to turn over a new leaf

and be

bolder with his choice

of movies,

tv shows, and commercials.

no one will force me

to do anything,

ever again, he says,

as someone helps him

with the seat belt in the back seat

of the limo,

strapping him in.
