My Take
Brian Bonsall's arc is the part of fame people rarely talk about. A successful child actor as Andy on Family Ties and Alexander, Worf's son, on Star Trek: The Next Generation, he then walked away from acting and reemerged as the guitarist of the punk band The Ataris. I find that pivot oddly admirable; rather than chasing the spotlight that once found him, he sought out a different stage on his own terms. There is something defiantly punk about refusing to be defined by a childhood role, and I genuinely root for people who keep choosing their own expression.
