WATN: That boy, Barret

Back in the 80s, Barret Oliver was the quintessential boy-next-door in Hollywood movies.

His career really kicked-off when he appeared in "The Neverending Story." This was such a fantastic fantasy film which became one of my faves. 

Then, his next big role was in "D.A.R.Y.L." This was another film that captured my imagination and briefly made me consider wanting to be an android. 

Then, there was "Cocoon" and "Cocoon: The Return." These films solidified his character as the curious, precocious boy who always gets into these great adventures.

After the 80s, he disappeared from the Hollywood scene. Which necessitates the question: "Where is Barret Oliver now?"

Searching for him on the net, it seems like his last Hollwood appearance was at the end of the 80s. After that, there weren't any movies or TV shows that had him. 

And with that, he'll always remain that precocious, adventurous, boy-next-door in my mind.
