Since August of 2006, I feel that I’ve been on the front lines of what some would say is an unwinnable fight to support and sustain the celebrity power ranking of 70s icon Barry Williams.

It doesn’t take some kind of pop culture genius to suggest that it isn’t easy being a child actor and having to grow up under the bright lights of fame.

If you’re George Clooney you have your pick of roles you want to play, exclusive clubs where you’d like to dine and elusive women you might fancy spending time with.

There are probably those in the power corridors of Hollywood who view Barry Williams as little more than a pop culture footnote.
