Best known for playing Jonathan Bower on the hit ABC sitcom Who’s the Boss?, where he costarred alongside Judith Light, Tony Danza, and Alyssa Milano during the show’s successful run from 1984 to 1992, Danny Pintauro became famous at a young age. But he began in the industry far before his “mom” hired a male housekeeper in the ’80s.
Pintauro began acting at just two years old, appearing in numerous commercials before landing the role of Paul Stenbeck on the CBS daytime drama As the World Turns. He left the soap for his first film role in the 1983 Stephen King adaptation Cujo, playing Tad Trenton, a young boy trapped in a car with his mother, played by Dee Wallace, as a rabid Saint Bernard terrorizes them.
