Kirk Cameron is best known as Mike Seaver on the 1980s sitcom, Growing Pains. He was only 15 at the time he was cast as Mike Seaver. He didn't go to high school during the Growing Pain years and was instead tutored and schooled on the set.

One of his tutors back then was my sister who was going to UCLA pre-med. My sister was very impressed with Kirk at the time because with all of his teenage teeny-bopper following or teen heartthrob, he still seemed rather grounded and was very likeable. He did his studies and got good grades.

Back then he was making $50,000 a week. He was in many other acting things back then, commercials, magazines and movies. He was in Like Father Like Son with Dudley Moore which was a huge success. He was in Listen to Me and was in another sitcom after Growing Pains ended its 10 year run, called Kirk which only lasted 2 years.

Recently he has appeared in the Left Behind series of films and in a 2008 movie called Fireproof. For the past several years he has become an active Christian evangelist, co-founding The Firefly Foundation with his wife, Chelsea Noble (his girlfriend back on the Growing Pains show.)

Kirk and his wife have 6 children, 4 adopted. Kirk Cameron went to Purdue and lectured on evolution. Kirk Cameron's evolution belief is that it is wrong. He also helped write a book called, "On the Origin of Species," where he further talks about his beliefs.

Kirk Cameron believes that we evolved as the Bible says we did, through Adam and Eve, not through Charles Darwin's explanations that we evolved from apes. Kirk Cameron once was an atheists but now is a strong believer in God.

He refuses to act in any movies or shows that he considers too racy. He also refused to do parts in Growing Pains where he considered it to be too racy. He has done specials on TV where he talks about his religious beliefs, the existence of God and his evolution beliefs. Kirk Cameron is raising a lot of attention with his beliefs. He seems very strong in what he believes.
