A beloved sitcom star of the 1980s and 1990s was spotted walking his dog during a rare sighting in Los Angeles.
He began his career as a child actor, guest appearing on some of the most famous TV shows of the 1970s and 1980s including St. Elsewhere and The Love Boat.
As a preteen, he rocketed to stardom and became a household name on a long-running hit sitcom that aired from 1987 to 1997.
Now, as a grown man and a husband and father, he looked a far cry from the puckish adolescent he became famous as onscreen.
He cut a casual figure in a hoodie over a t-shirt and a loose-fitted set of Nike shorts that allowed him to show off a sprawling tattoo on one of his calves.
Can you guess who he is?
