The Change-Up‘s Jason Bateman…Revealed!

He kicked off his career back in 1981 at the age of twelve by playing James Cooper Ingalls on the TV series Little House On The Prairie. How adorable was he?

He became the youngest ever person to direct a TV show when he helmed a few episodes of The Hogan Family (in which he also appeared) at the age of 18. Related: I want everything that woman is wearing.

And many other cheesetastic classics including Knight Rider, Mr. Belvedere, Love Stinks (alongside such esteemed thespians as Tiffani Thiessen and Tyra Banks), and, oh yeah, The Change-Up.

"It was like Risky Business for 10 years," he told Details of the nineties. "My parents were out of town, they left me a bunch of money, the car, and the house, and I didn't know when they were coming home. I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well." In that same interview, he compares booze and blow to "ketchup and French fries." No, really.

The famous singer, not the dog from Gilmore Girls. They've known each other since they were teenagers. They have a four-year-old daughter named Francesca. Don't they look cute together? Don't ever change, Jason Bateman.
