Kirk Cameron

Kirk Thomas Cameron (born October 12, 1970), better known only as Kirk Cameron, is an American actor who was popular during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The brother of Full House actress Candace Cameron and brother in law of hockey player Valery Bure, Cameron was born in Panorama City, California. Kirk Cameron became a teen idol around 1987, when he shared the cover of such magazines as Tiger Beat, Teen Beat, 16 and others, with such other famous teenagers as The Coreys (Feldman and Haim) as well as older teen idols such as Duran Duran, Bon Jovi and Ralph Macchio. Cameron's fame came primarily because of his role in the sitcom Growing Pains as the character Mike Seaver. Cameron went on to make a number of films, including 1988's Like Father, Like Son, with Dudley Moore. In that movie, Moore plays a medical doctor and Cameron plays his rather irresponsible, MTV watching son. They interchange bodies to feel what it's like being one another. Cameron met his wife, actress Chelsea Noble on the set of Growing Pains, where she played his girlfriend. They married in 1991 and have a family of six children (three daughters and three sons), four of which are adopted. Cameron was named after captain James Kirk of the famed television series Star Trek. Although his fame dwindled somewhat after his years as a teen idol, Cameron has nevertheless kept on working on various productions through the years. He has starred in the Christian end-times movies Left Behind: The Movie and Left Behind II: Tribulation Force, as well as a few other Christian themed movies (see film credits). Currently, he partners with evangelist Ray Comfort in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ 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 with ordinary civilians. They do this as a teaching 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.'
