Keith Coogan (actor)

Episode 73- Keith Coogan! Keith is the grandson of legendary actor Jackie Coogan, one of the biggest child movie stars of all time and also played Uncle Fester in The Addam’s Family. Keith was quite the legend in his own right however, guest starring in almost every big TV show of the 80s including Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Growing Pains, Knight Rider, Chips and my personal favorite Silver Spoons. He went on to star in feature films including Adventures in Babysitting, Fox & The Hound, Toy Soldiers and of course Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead. It was a blast chatting with him about his amazing resume and working in Hollywood. He is down to earth, funny and has great insight and stories!0:00:00 - Intro0:01:04 - Welcome Keith! 0:01:39 - Making People Laugh & Stand Up 0:03:18 - Keith's Grandfather Jackie Coogan 0:06:10 - Deciding To Be An Actor 0:10:45 - River Phoenix0:12:36 - "Silver Spoons" 0:14:34 - Working On TV Shows, Fans & Trolls 0:15:46 - Teen Magazines 0:16:34 - Avoiding The Pitfalls Of Child Actors 0:19:45 - "Fox & Hound" Voice Role 0:22:54 - "Stand By Me"  & Will Wheaton 0:25:30 - Being a Kid On Set 0:27:30 - Working on Sit-Coms With Live Audiences 0:28:28 - "Adventures In Babysitting" & Bad Words0:33:45 - Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" 0:34:25 - Role In "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead"0:36:15 - House & Set on Don't Tell Mom 0:39:15 - "Toy Soliders", Sean Astin & Will Wheaton0:42:19 - "Tale Of The Two Coreys" & Corey Feldman 0:46:33 - Friends With Jake Busey 0:49:03 - Reboots 0:50:18 - "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" Reboot0:51:20 - Current Projects 0:53:25 - Comi-Cons0:54:34 - Bobcat Goldthwait 0:56:24 - "The Dishes Are Done, Man" 0:59:13 - Reading is Fundamental1:04:25 - Wrap Up Keith Coogan Website:https://keithcooganonline.com/index.htmlReading is Fundamental:https://www.rif.orgChuck Shute Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/chuck_shute/Support the showThanks for Listening & Shute for the Moon!
