2. Steven Anthony Lawrence

Being a child star is a double-edged sword. It's either an early launching pad into a career of fame and fortune, in the style of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, or it's a story destined to end in tears and make you the subject of 'where are they now' articles for the rest of your life. Steven Anthony Lawrence would be able to tell you all about that - he was once the face of 'Even Stevens' on the Disney Channel, but he was unable to translate his early success into acting work as an adult.

Being able to perform in front of an audience did turn out to be useful for Lawrence's chosen career though - he's now a teacher. Specifically, he teaches acting to children in the hope that he can pass his skills on to someone who'll do better than him. In a neat twist, he also tells his pupils how to handle the money side of the business as well, making sure that they don't get ripped off by sneaky agents or production companies.
