Claim to Fame: There's no doubt that Kirk got fame at a young age
playing the wise-cracking Mike Seaver on the ABC sitcom, 'Growing Pains.'
Family Life: Chelsea Noble July 1991 - present. They have 6 children
(4 adopted and 2 not)
Brother of actress Candace Cameron (from 'Full House')
Info: Kirk was a huge star during the run of his sitcom. He made a few
movies that didn't do as well as people had thought they would. This kind of
hurt his career and
he found that roles were not being offered to him.
He came back to the small screen in a new sitcom 'Kirk' that was cancelled after
the first season.
Trivia:
Used to be neighbors with Adam Rich, of "Eight Is Enough" fame.
Kirk is a vegetarian.
Parents named him after Captain James Tiberius Kirk of the original "Star Trek"
(1966) series (played by William Shatner).
Met his wife, Chelsea Noble, on the set of "Growing Pains" (1985).
Began appearing in TV commercials at age 9.
Where
is He Now:
Kirk became a born again Christian when he was 20 and he spends most of his
time with his family in their Santa Monica home.
Currently, he partners with evangelist Ray Comfort in spreading the Gospel of
Jesus to people in America. They have a ministry together called The Way of the
Master; a video series where they walk the street sharing the Gospel of Christ
with ordinary
civilians. They do this as an instructional tape to show Christians how to
effectively share their faith, "The way Jesus did." Hence the title of their
program, "The Way of the Master."
He has starred in the direct-to-video series "Left Behind" which is based on the
popular books.
He also keeps busy with his wife running a summer camp, Camp Firefly, which they
founded in 1989 for terminally ill kids and their families in Calaway Gardens,
Georgia.
