Q: What else did the kid who played the younger version of Ben in the "It" miniseries do? For a child actor, I thought he did an excellent job.
On screen he did quite a lot, until he stopped.
Brandon Crane was indeed very well reviewed for his performance as Ben in the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation of "It." And that role was just one of the ones causing his star to rise in Hollywood at the time.

Q: "Heartland" is such a refreshing series to watch. What else might the actor who plays the grandpa be seen in?
"Heartland" is a Canadian series, but it's had a good deal of exposure in the U.S. That means its stars may all seem like new faces to the U.S. audience, even though they're not new faces at all. Shaun Johnston's is a very old face, in fact.
He's been knocking around the Canadian TV and film scene since the early '90s. His best-known role was as Jake in the heartwarming late-'90s TV drama "Jake and the Kid."
Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, on CBS
A holiday song about a misfit reindeer with a red nose comes to life in this timeless stop-motion animated special. After he's teased for being different, Rudolph and his elf friend, Hermey, run away. Burl Ives lends his voice as the snowman narrator.
Q: Did Elton John ever do any acting?
For decades, it seemed like a one-and-done situation for Elton John. Having played the Pinball Wizard in the mid-film climax of the classic rock opera "Tommy" (1975), it seemed as if John would never act again.
How do you top such an iconic role in an iconic film? With "Bob the Builder," apparently. John's only other acting role was in the 2001 Christmas special of this popular British children's cartoon.
