I was thinking of this person last night but wasn't sure how old they were and forgot to check, but the Tiger Beat clue reminded me.

My free guess: Scott Baio.
Born *in* 1960, not before.
_Happy Days_ & _Charles in Charge_, both comedies, both very well known. Seems to have frequently graced the pages of Tiger Beat. Did voice at least one animated character.

I retract this guess, missed Q 20 about the past year. Nevermind.

Based on iMDb, it appears that Mr. Baio starred in the 2021 smash hit: Courting Mom and Dad. Not quite within the last year. But I'm adding it to my Netflix queue.

It has an aggregate rating of 3.2/10 on IMBD, from 192 reviews.

I think you might want to give it a miss.

This is an important question that deserves more reflection. For our purposes, let me just say that this person has not appeared in The Walking Dead.

Thanks. It has a lot of spinoffs and lots of actors have been in it.

The Walking Dead is nonfiction.

Should I just start a new one? This thread is sad.

I'm just going to do Rick Grimes next, so Chaqa can play.

Is it Rick Grimes?

This always happens, nobody wants to ask the last question and trigger the "only three more guesses" because they think if they just stare at the parameters longer they'll manage to guess it (which, to be fair, is pretty much what has happened since I showed up just a few games ago).

Fine, I will ask the final question.

Did he first find fame and fortune as a child or teenager? (Rather than only attaining acclaim as a actor after already attaining adult age?)

I'm not seeing a strong Tiger Beat connection? But it's not really that easy to search for, so maybe.

Fred Savage is another that fits the bill, but I'm also unclear how strong his Tiger Beat connection is.

I don’t have a free guess left for Charlie Sheen
