Many aspire to make it in Hollywood, but only a few achieve that dream. Ricky Schroder was one of the lucky ones, rising to fame with early acting roles as a child.
Born on April 13, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, Ricky’s career took off in the late 1970s with *The Champ*, a role that earned him a Golden Globe and opened many doors.
His most recognized role was on *Silver Spoons*, which aired from 1982 to 1987, solidifying his place in the industry.
Throughout his career, Ricky appeared in popular shows like *NYPD Blue*, *Scrubs*, and *Strong Medicine*, and even ventured into directing. In 2004, he won the Best Director Award at the San Diego International Film Festival for *Black Cloud*.
However, Ricky’s personal life faced turbulence. In 1992, he was arrested for domestic violence, but he and his girlfriend Andrea Bernard later reconciled and married, raising four children.
Their marriage ended in 2016, leading Ricky into a difficult phase of his life, marked by partying and further legal troubles.
In recent years, Ricky has stepped away from Hollywood, spending his time on a farm.
He often shares updates with fans on social media, though recent videos sparked concern about his appearance, with many commenting on his rugged look. Despite this, others defended him, crediting his hardworking farm life for his changed appearance.
