Michael Oliver
Michael Oliver is the first washed up celebrity I will review. You may remember Oliver as the child actor who played "Junior" in the early 90s movies "Problem Child" and "Problem Child 2." This is a picture of Oliver from his Problem Child days:
I would have thought that Oliver would have parlayed his early starring roles into other movie roles or perhaps even a recurring role on a sitcom. However, Oliver has not had any decent roles since his Problem Child days. He is currently a roadie for the band, The Samples, and apparently spends a good portion of his time posting on the Internet Movie Database message boards under the login "Roadiepc." He has also grown his hair long and occasionally sports a long mullet as shown in his pictures below (in case you are wondering, he verified that these are pictures of him in his message board postings). All of this makes him one washed-up celebrity!

I just discovered some information that might explain why Michael Oliver is so incredibly washed up. Apparently he had a contractual obligation with Universal Pictures to act in Problem Child 2 for $80,000 back in 1991. However, a mere few days before filming was to begin Michael's mother demanded $500,000 for his role in the movie or he would walk away. Universal Pictures had already spent a lot of money on pre-production and felt obligated to do whatever was necessary to keep Michael in the movie or it would lose around $4,000,000 on outlays that had already been made.
In 1993 Universal sued Michael for $190,000 for basically extorting the money from Universal, which had agreed to pay the money to Michael under duress. Universal Pictures won its court case after a trial and Michael had to return the extorted money!

Michael Oliver used to have a bio listed on the website for The Samples that mentioned that he is a "Highly evolved old soul with a love of his lady and a passion for swords." Here is a picture of Oliver that was linked in the comments to this post. I guess that Oliver must enjoy swordfights!

Someone posted a link in the comments below to this apparently gay parody Michael Oliver blog: Gay Appreciation for Michael Oliver. My favorite post on that blog is one where someone wrote:
"Someone told me that they were at a Samples show and Micheal walked by him and he stunk of B.O. Does he have problems or is that just part of touring on the road with a band? He said he could smell his balls and ass from where he was standing."

A link to this recent picture of Michael Oliver was posted as a comment below. As one can see, Oliver appears to have cut his hair short at least on the sides. It appears as though he may have also kept the hair on top of his head long and pulled it back. Finally, he's either sitting in front of a tree or his red mullet is flaring out at the sides by his neck!
*** Update - December 27, 2009 ***
Links to the following pictures of Michael Oliver were posted in comments below. An anonymous commenter claims that the girl in these photos is Michael Oliver's girlfriend. The woman in the photos below is definitely attractive, so it is perplexing that she is standing next to Oliver. I have to assume that the reason why she is in these photos with Oliver is one of the following: (a) she has a freaky ginger mullet fetish; (b) he paid her to be in the photos with him; (c) he photoshopped her into a photo where he was standing by himself; (d) that truly is his girlfriend. We may never know her true motivation for being photographed with Oliver.

I recently discovered this video clip of Michael Oliver rambling on and on about religion as he explains why he is a Buddhist. He shows off his massive forehead and ginger mullet (or possibly long hair in a ponytail) in this clip:
*** Update - November 14, 2012 ***
I recently discovered a video clip of a recent interview that Michael Oliver gave where he discussed his experiences as a child star on the movie set. Several of his former co-stars are also interviewed in this clip. Michael has apparently chopped off his long mullet as shown in the interview.
*** Unfortunately, the video was deleted from YouTube, so I had to remove the corresponding link here. ***

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 223 of 223I only came here to read all the badass stuf he's done
I have never seen Problem Child, but I heard of this actor from the 30 Ugliest Child Stars website online... But he is VERY good looking, and I think it's ridiculous that he would be on that list or this article.
has his hole been burned by the meatpole.... he shall hold the answers of the universe
I think Michael Oliver is very talented at such a young age and I thank you so I couldn't help myself but laughing so hard.......I think he's grown into a fine looking man.......So what if his armpits smell funny who cares he was hilarious I think he commented back to somebody else you know you deserve what you get....... My arm pits don't smell all that great all the time either.....Sometimes you just got shallow minded people who look to try to hurt somebody else but I think this guy is very good smart talented he can see past all that.......I'm actually very proud of a Mustang is the drummer in a band also.........I believe Michael Oliver is a very smart and resourceful person he's going to be well taken care of as well take care of himself...........I do hope that he's making money off the royalties of these movies that are still playing.......
DITTO.......This person that posted this is nothing but a washed-up turd himself
Only tell you what from all this nasty comments made toward Michael Oliver.......I hope and pray he knows his self worth because he is an awesome person I believe that he is awesome and to tell you the truth I'm a mother of a 24 year old and a 19-year-old both boys I love them to death I love this kid to help Alan said he is so the guys it's one of the talk trash wanted to talk nasty you go ahead and take that and eat it eat those words because you're nothing.......He is rubber you're glue whatever you say bounces off him and sticks to you since you want to talk trashy that's what you get back..

As my son Richard would say Michael stay posi
This thread looks like mostly the same person tirelessly spewing liquid feces under different aliases. You sound more pathetic than Oliver could ever hope to be. Get out and absorb some sun sometime. Also to the person who made this blog, who digs that deep into a washed up celebrity's life? You and this other person should go out sometime. You two have a lot in common, or maybe you're same person?
I'm a nobody; I can say it. I don't have a great deal of money, and sometimes life seems to be a bit of a struggle. As such, my opinion is not likely to mean much.
However; I think Michael got a bit of a raw deal when he was younger. I still really enjoy watching PC 1&2 from time to time and have many fond memories watching those movies growing up as a young kid in the early 90s. I'll always be grateful for those memories.
I've never personally met the man, so I'm hardly one to judge his character. But, even if I had met him in person and found his character to be found wanting, I wouldn't be so quick to condemn. I would simply hope that he has brighter days in his future.
I would consider (and urge others to consider) that we are all, as a society in general, far from perfect. In addition, I have my own share of troubled times (thankfully behind me) where I was... less than I could have or should have been. I was downright evil for a time, but I eventually emerged from it and even managed to put it far behind me; in no small part thanks to the support of others in my life. All I needed was for a few people to believe in me, and I managed to slowly but surely turn my life around again.
It's amazing how fast you can fall from grace, and how you can seemingly be on top of the world one moment and at the bottom of society's garbage can the next. Pity those who hate for hatred's sake; they wallow in their own misery and seek to spread their condition to others... as misery loves company.
To Michael, I would say that regardless of what is or was, I wish you well. I would say thanks for the joyful moments I had while I was a kid and I hope you have some joyful moments of your own in the near future. For my own reasons, I still believe in you... and I hope you have others in your day to day life who do as well.
Good luck my friend. Good luck to you.

Wow that was an amazing amount of information on a random IMBD search one evening. I am surprised at how amazed I was to catch up on this random persons life.
I think that this guy is gay. Come on, that one picture clearly shows him wanting to "stab" another man with his "sword." Freakin' pervert.
It's pretty fucked that he didn't even get six figures for either movie considering how much money Universal made over the years. Even if it wasn't an all-time blockbuster like Home Alone, it also wasn't a bomb of a series and was successful enough to spawn sequels and a cartoon. But I'm glad that he's got his own thing going on, and there's way more to life than having a house on a hill and a bunch of problems that go with that. At least he can walk down the street and not get recognized as only being a child star like Culkin does or Gary Coleman used to.
Seriously this blog is some of the worst writing I have ever seen. Some guy or gal who has never achieved anything in his life trashing someone for no reason but to make themselves feel better about there sad little life. The age of self publishing gives certain people the illusion they have a voice when in reality it's just more white noise. Get a real job my friend maybe you could be a little less bitter with something to talk about concerning your own business.
One of the best and cutest child stars of all time. Watching people get personal and talk about his current appearance and life is just sad. It's almost like they have nothing better to do, seriously! So much hatred for someone they don't even know. I live in Pakistan by the way, and this is my facebook: facebook.com/shahzwarakb
Even posted his picture on my wall a couple of days ago!
I loved both of the PC movies as a kid, and I still enjoy them when they play on encore. He definitely got a raw deal thanks to his mom. I would bet if that hadn't happened, we would've seen much more of him, possibly even still presently. I hope the guy is happy, & I have to thank him for my childhood memories of laughing and enjoying his films. I actually think he looks decent in that one pic where he's inside that car, but I'm a girl that likes long hair on guys. But whether you like him or hate him, I think some of the extreme hate in some of the comments isn't necessary. Most of us don't really know the guy, so there's no way to make a fair judgement on him. And I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't appreciate being belittled and berated in such a cruel manner on online comments. It also makes sense that he'd have so much time to browse the sites about himself if he's a roadie. Tons of free time while traveling place to place. Anyways, that's my two cents. If you see this Michael, thanks for a couple of great movies & hope you're enjoying a nice life.
And then @been framed you might learn how to use a full stop somewhere in sentences?
A mullet is a haircut that is short on the front, and the top of the sides, while being long in the back.
This guy doesn't have a mullet in any of these photos, it's always long on the top and front, even when pulled back.
I can't believe anyone would stick up for this clown. Oliver is a bowel movement. He is in no way attractive. Personally I believe he is the only person who has posted anything other then disparaging remarks on this fine board. I for one was a victim of his rampant homophobic behavior on the IMDB boards where he censored post after post of mine. All I was doing was expressing my adulation for his mullet, ass stench, and lack of any acting taken! I'm sure he has not aged well and in the near decade since this was originally posted I'm sure he has decayed like a dog turd in the hot sun. I would like to drop a meaty ass burrito on his chest, then rip a nice fart in his face. Mikey if you're still here hit me up!
ROCCO
I don't think I've ever laughed out loud so hard in my life. You are the funniest person alive
Lmao💀💀💀💀💀
