Remember that sweet-faced little Keaton kid from “Family Ties”? Well, he has finally been inducted into the child star hall of shame. Do I even need to bore you with the story? I guess I will. Brian Bonsall is a 28-year-old, bipolar druggie with a neck tattoo. This weekend he was arrested in Colorado after assaulting a friend with a bar stool. (Translation: He was probably messed up out of his mind.) [PopEater]

I feel kind of bad for him. But why does it seem like former child stars always go so far downhill? There are so few who survived childhood stardom. After the jump, an ode to the proud and the few.
