Surely you remember Tony. He was the orphan who, along with his sister Tia, attempted to "Escape to Witch Mountain" in the 1975 Disney family flick. You may have even harbored a secret crush on him. And why not? Look how cute he was:
In case you didn't already know, that little actor's name was Ike Eisenmann. After starring in "Escape to Witch Mountain" and, naturally, "Return From Witch Mountain," he got numerous gigs on both TV ("Little House on the Prairie," "Afterschool Specials," "The Jeffersons," "TJ Hooker") and in movies ("Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan" and, apparently, as a party guest in "Some Kind of Wonderful"). So where is Ike now?
In the past decade, he has directed and appeared in the short parody "The Blair Witch Mountain Project" and done voice work for Disney's "The Hunckback of Notre Dame II." He also continues to work steadily as a sound guy and producer. On a personal note, he has been married since 1993 and, according to his official Web site, now technically goes by the name Iake.
But here's the most exciting part: Eisenmann will reportedly cameo in the upcoming "Witch Mountain update, "Race to Witch Mountain," which stars The Rock and AnnaSophia Robb. So little Tony has done pretty well for himself. Here's what he looks like now:
Rich or Rehab appears every Tuesday morning on Strollerderby.
