ever hear about what happened to the kid actor after HR?
I'd say he had it rough--
from wiki:
"Wild struggled to make the transition to adult stardom. He had begun
smoking at the age of 12, and by age 17 was
drinking heavily.
[4] At age 21 he was already an
alcoholic and a
diabetic. This did not help him find acting work, and by 1976 his film career was badly stalled. In 1981 he was supposed to star with
Suzi Quatro in a series about a modern-day
Bonnie and Clyde for British television, but it was cancelled at the last minute. His alcoholism ruined both his career and his marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Gaynor Jones, who left him in 1985 because of his excessive drinking.
[4]
After exhausting his remaining fortune Wild lived with his retired father for a few years.
[3] His alcoholism caused three
cardiac arrests and resulted in several hospital stays until he stopped drinking in 1989.
[3] Wild later admitted his alcoholism was so debilitating during this period that from the late 1970s until he went sober, he was incapable of doing any kind of work"
Today all that shit seems very weird.
Where do you go from a kid who plays a boy with a magic flute wandering around in a real life acid trip surrounded by characters wearing foam costumes which look like rejects denied access to Disneyland's Main Street parade?
