The Cast of ‘Growing Pains: Then + Now [Pictures]

The cast of Growing Pains are all grown up now, and you won’t believe what they look like today!

The classic sitcom premiered on Sept. 24, 1985, introducing television viewers to the Seaver family: Jason (Alan Thicke), Maggie (Joanna Kerns), Mike (Kirk Cameron), Carol (Tracey Gold), Ben (Jeremy Miller) and, later, Chrissy (Ashley Johnson).

The show ran for seven seasons through 1992, and it became such a runaway success that it spawned a successful spinoff, Just the Ten of Us, that ran for three seasons.

Growing Pains made stars out of all of its cast members, but Kirk Cameron’s character of Mike Seaver caught on especially well, turning him into one of the biggest teen stars on TV overnight.

But despite the massive attention he garnered during the run of the show, Cameron was not the biggest star who worked on Growing Pains —not by a long shot — as you’ll see in the gallery below.
