Exclusive Video! Snakkle Reunites the Casts from the Problem Child Movies
Snakkle couldn't wait to reunite the iconic '90s film favorite cast members from Problem Child and Problem Child 2 to see what they are up to today. Of course, the one person we would love to have interviewed the most, John Ritter, tragically passed away on September 11, 2003 from an aortic dissection. Watch the video and see the cast member reminisce about their time on the movie and their memories of John and learn more about The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. By Snakkle StaffComments
When we think of iconic roles for child actors in the ’90s, one little redhead really stands out: Michael Oliver. Remember? He portrayed “Junior” from the Problem Child movies with a perfect mix of devilish charm and (occasional) vulnerability. He was every kid’s hero and every parent’s nightmare. But that’s why we loved him! Snakkle recently reunited the casts of the movies to help raise awareness for The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health, and Oliver was generous enough to give us some great behind-the-scenes stories.
You may remember Ivyann Schwan as the over-stimulated tiny tot Patty in Ron Howard’s Parenthood, but she was really unforgettable as the oh-so-naughty Trixie in Problem Child 2. Snakkle caught up with Schwan, who is now living happily outside of Hollywood with her husband and son, to chat about her fond memories of shooting the movie and hanging with her costars.
Amy Yasbeck not only appeared in the original Problem Child as Flo Healy, but she also got to come back in Problem Child 2 as Annie Young (mother to the naughty “Trixie” played by Ivyann Schwan). That’s right, two different roles in the same fanchise. And both times, she nailed it. Snakkle teamed up with Yasbeck to reunite the casts of the movies to benefit the foundation she started to honor her late husband (and PC costar) John Ritter: The John Ritter Foundation for Aortic Health. Watch the video to listen to her fond memories and to learn more about the foundation’s work!

Lora,You and I have something in cmmoon. Uncanny X-Men #303 is also the issue that got me into comics (and made me a die-hard Jean Grey fan). I often refer to comics as visual words because I love the visual aspect to the stories as well as the writing.I think you’re right about women and relationships. My best friend and I read a ton of books. We are librarians after all. Our favorite genre is fantasy and science fiction, but we read a fair share of romances as well. We had a discussion not long ago about why we are reading more romances than the fantasy and sf these days and concluded that it’s the relationships between characters that keep us reading. If a sf story is all action and science and has few relationships and one dimensional characters, we just don’t find it interesting any more. The relationships don’t even have to be romantic ones, just believable ones.
