Kirk Cameron

Updated on October 25, 2008

Who Is Kirk Cameron

Kirk Cameron is best known as "Mike Seaver" on the hit 80's series Growing Pains. He has been married for 17 years to Chelsea Noble and has 6 children.

From atheist turned Christian, Kirk has become an excellent role model to teens and adults.

Yes, I will admit, I had a crush on Kirk Cameron when I was a teen.

Every year, I would look at the new fall TV shows in the TV Guide. I would study it and see which shows I would think I would like. I remember seeing Kirk's picture in the list of shows.

I guess I read about the show, but I didn't really care because when I saw him, that was it. I knew I was going to add Growing Pains to my list of shows to watch.

I watched it and loved it! Growing Pains was my favorite show. I also covered my walls with his posters from Teen Beat, 16, Bop! etc. Everyone knew I was "in love" with Kirk.

As I grew older, my crush turned into an admiration or appreciation for Kirk. I was glad to hear he became a Christian as I am also a Christian.

I have since followed his movies and work with The Way of the Master. Even though my crush has ended, I respect him as a person and actor and appreciate his work for the Lord.

One of my goals was to meet Kirk. I was able to obtain that goal by going to the Creation Festival in 2001. He was there sharing his testimony. My Mom, Sister and I waited in line for his autograph.

I think we waited for about an hour and got to the top of the hill where he was at. They had to stop the line as I guess he needed to leave. They stopped it right after me so I was able to get in. I couldn't believe it, I made it in, but remember feeling bad for the people behind me.

Once I got up to him, I kept thinking, "I can't believe I am going to meet him". I remember asking him if he was going to do another Left Behind movie, which he answered, "Yes" and has since done them.

I took many pictures and was glad I accomplished my goal of meeting him. He was very nice and just as I expected him to be.

Kirk's Background

Kirk grew up in San Fernando Valley where his parents still live today. His parents are Robert and Barbara. He has 3 sisters, Bridgette, Melissa and Candace.

He was introduced into acting by his Mother, who was friends with Adam Rich's (from Eight Is Enough) Mother. They went to Adam's agent, Iris Burton and she liked Kirk.

Kirk went on audition after audition, but his Mom and him started getting the "hang" of it and knew how they worked. He did several commercials and TV shows, until he landed the part of "Mike Seaver" on Growing Pains.

Kirk's TV Family

Kirk's Growing Pains family was Alan Thicke, who played his Dad, "Jason Seaver" and Joanna Kerns, who played his Mom, "Maggie Seaver". Alan and Joanna actually resemble Kirk's real life Mom and Dad.

Tracey Gold played his sister, "Carol Seaver" and Jeremy Miller played his brother, "Ben Seaver". Later, they had a sister named "Chrissy", played by Ashley Johnson.

Still Growing By Kirk Cameron

Kirk recently wrote his autobiography titled "Still Growing". I am almost finished reading it and it is a great book for any fan or admirer of Kirk.

It starts out with his fear of telling his producers he doesn't want to do a certain scene because of his new faith. Then he goes back to his childhood and his acting career. Right now, I reading about his wife and kids.

It is a great book and one you will enjoy!

The Way Of The Master
The Way Of The Master
The Way of the Master gives light to an almost forgotten biblical key that has the power to unlock the door of the human heart. This is the proven and effective way of making the gospel make sense to the unsaved. It is so rooted in the Scriptures, once you see it, you will forever wonder how you could have missed it. It is the biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong) â the way Jesus did. Itâs anecdotal, loaded with commentary and remarks that are more conversational than academic. Itâs an easy read with a hard message that has already changed the face of sharing faith.
