My Take
Scott Baio is, to me, a fascinating case study in surviving teen stardom. The Brooklyn kid who broke through as Chachi on Happy Days and headlined Charles in Charge had every chance to flame out, yet he kept working into producing and writing. What interests me is the discipline hiding behind the easy charm: child actors who last tend to be shrewder than their roles suggest. Whatever you make of his later public persona, his run across sitcoms and dramas shows a real instinct for the medium. I read him as someone who understood early that likability is a craft, not an accident.
