Ricky Schroeder vintage original inscribed autographed photo signed as a child during his Silver Spoons days measuring 5x7 inchesRichard Schroder, (born, April 13, 1970, in Staten Island, New York, USA) is an American actor who began his career as a child actor (then and currently credited as Ricky Schroder). Biography Early life and careerSchroder debuted in the 1979 remake of the movie The Champ. In the following year, he made a Walt Disney feature film called The Last Flight of Noah's Ark with Elliott Gould. Although Schroder's performance is generally recognized as good, the film bombed at the box office. He became well-known as the star of the television series Silver Spoons. As he grew older, he struggled to become known as a serious actor. He changed his name credit from Ricky to Rick and preferred to take roles which helped him to stretch as an actor.On the January 9, 2007 edition of CNN's Larry King Live, Schroder announced he was changing his name back to Ricky. "You know, I was 18 or 19, my agents said, "You know, you should change your name to Rick. It'll help grow up from a kid to an adult." And I've learned the last 20 years it takes more than dropping a letter from your name to help you grow up. And so I'm more comfortable being called Ricky. And so I'm going back to Ricky. It is Ricky when I was a kid. And my wife, my mom, everybody calls me Ricky. So I'm going to let that -- Rick never felt right. I felt like I was trying to be something wasn't."[1] CareerSchroder's co-starring role in the Western mini-series Lonesome Dove and its sequel, Return to Lonesome Dove, helped Schroder's attempt to be recognised as a mature actor. Still, it came as a surprise to much of the public when he was chosen to act in the series NYPD Blue, notorious for its partial nude scenes.Schroder only acted in NYPD Blue for three years, preferring to leave Hollywood with his family to live full-time on the family's ranch in Colorado. This ranch has since been put on the market for $29,000,000, and has apparently sold. He commuted to the set of Strong Medicine, whose cast he joined for a two-year contract starting in 2005, and appeared in films even as he built a log cabin on his ranch. Schroder also appeared in several episodes of the second season of the comedy series Scrubs.Starting in 2007, Shroder will become a regular on the hit FOX show 24.In 2004, Schroder directed and starred in the music video for "Whiskey Lullaby", a song by Brad Paisley. This music video won an award. Personal lifeSchroder lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife, Andrea, and their four children. He is a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Political viewsSchroder made an appearance on stage at the 2000 Republican National Convention, endorsing Presidential candidate George W. Bush. He is also a member of the National Rifle Association.Silver Spoons was a sitcom that aired on NBC from September 25, 1982 to May 11, 1986 and in first-run syndication from September 15, 1986 to March 4, 1987. The series was produced by Embassy Television for the first four seasons, until Columbia Pictures Television (now Sony Pictures Television) took production of the series with the move to syndication. About the showThe title of the show is based on the expression that rich children are born with a proverbial silver spoon in their mouth, implying that they are given only the very best and want for nothing. Despite the premise of the show, the goal of the show was to disprove this notion. The term silver spoon(s) is also an expression for family wealth. Silver spoons, because of their weight and number, are often one of the most valuable parts of a rich household's effects, a traditional target for burglars.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.In the pilot episode, Ricky Stratton (Ricky Schroder) arrives at the mansion of the father he has never met to introduce himself, move in and get to know him better.
