Where Are They Now: Charles in Charge Edition

We all know what's become of "Charles in Charge" mega-hunk Scott Baio (a string of mostly forgettable TV guest spots, plus a recent, less forgetabble spot on "Arrested Development"). But what about the other stars of this seminal mid-80's hit?

Willie Ames, aka Buddy Lembeck, now plays the title role in a straight-to-video series called Bibleman, in which he defeats evil through prayer and the "sword of truth." More info on Buddy at the Willie Ames Worship Site (motto: "It's clean, and the people are friendly.")

Things haven't been quite so sweet for Nicole Eggert (Jamie Powell), who, since her star stint on "Baywatch," has mostly been acting in TV movies with clever titles like "Snowman's Pass," "Wall of Secrets" and "Murder Seen"(get it? Murder Seen?) She also has the crappiest fan site ever.

And Josie Davis, the more awkward, nerdy Powell sister? Nothing too exciting in the career department, unless you consider a special guest spot on "Two and a Half Men" exciting. But she's all grownsed up now, and possibly hotter than Nicole Eggert (in a somewhat plasticy way), which must make her feel good about herself.

Meanwhile, the Pembroke kids (the first family Charles was in charge of, until low ratings got them kicked out of their own house and replaced by the more camera-ready Powells)? Apparently getting booted from "Charles in Charge" is like the industry kiss of death, because those kids have flown into the Hollywood Bermuda Triangle and never come back out. If your most recent acting credit is either "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" or (worse) "Kate and Allie" ... well, that's pretty much the definition of Disappeared.

Maybe it was a bad omen that Michael Pearlman, who played Jason Michael Pembroke on "Charles" before spinning out into Hollywood oblivion, started his acting career in a film called "One Trick Pony."
