You film snobs might only choose to remember young Leonardo DiCaprio from his much-lauded performances in This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape? But I'm sure that in a moment of weakness, you'd confess to him first stealing your heart during his guest appearances on the seventh season of Growing Pains.
As young vagabond Luke, DiCaprio was worldly, confident, and haunted by a secret past -- the perfect foil for the spoiled Seaver children. Who didn't shed a few tears when his birth father came to take Luke back? Certainly not me. Now, of course, little Leo's all grown up and kicking ass in Scorsese films. But we'll still have each other. Sharing the laughter and love.
