2) Brian Bonsall in Blank Check (1994)
At the age of 12, Brian Bonsall portrayed Preston Waters in the family comedy Blank Check. While not much more than a youngster, Bonsall shouldered the entire movie; a kid finds himself one day with a million dollars to spend when a twist of fate turns his world around.
The one surprisingly age-inappropriate scene in the movie was Brain Bonsall's kiss with Karen Duffy. The reason being, the actor was only 11-12 years old while the actress was 31, during the time of filming.
Innocence mixed with the kind of mischievous charm was brought out in his portrayal of Preston, making this wild spending spree funny and entertaining to young viewers. Although the premise was stretched, Bonsall's natural charm grounded the story, making him a memorable child star of the '90s. For many, his work in Blank Check remains a nostalgic favorite.
