Santa Claus brought me one, but sadly, that treasure was never realized. It's amazing how many bottle caps you have to dig up. But to be honest, that dream is still alive.
When you're a child actor and play the precocious kid, the temptation is to wear leather pants or a cutoff shirt to redefine yourself.
