Former Child Star (2003) — a cringe comedy about a '70s TV child star turned parking attendant who hires a family to rehearse a normal childhood in a desperate bid to get back into the spotlight. In this article you'll find where the film is streaming right now — whether on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or Apple TV+ — plus notes on regional availability and rental options. The movie, led by David Spade’s awkward auditions and make‑believe family antics, didn’t pick up any major awards, but it remains a guilty-pleasure snapshot of life after childhood fame.

Synopsis

Once a beloved child TV star of the 1970s, Dickie Roberts is now 35 and scraping by as a parking attendant. Hungry to reclaim his former fame, he auditions for a part that requires someone with a normal upbringing, but the director quickly realizes Dickie’s life has been anything but ordinary. Desperate to convince them, he hires a suburban family to stage a childhood for him so he can learn to behave like an average kid and finally fit the part.
