Scott Baio – Then
Former teen heart-throb Baio is best known for his time on the Happy Days sitcom, where he played Chachi, the love interest of Joanie Cunningham (Erin Moran). Years before, however, he was also the lead in the musical gangster movie Bugsy Malone, based on how gangsters like Bugs Moran and Al Capone of the 1920s lived during prohibition. The movie’s twist was that there were only child actors starring in it. Jodie Foster, a future Oscar winner, was one of them. Fact: Over two thousand other children have auditioned for Baio’s part.
