Former TV actor Jerry Supiran—the non-robot child on syndication mainstay Small Wonder—is currently living under a bridge in central California, the result of years of incipient financial ruin and vulnerably human decisions involving strippers. Supiran enjoyed a somewhat-prolific career in the 1980s, landing roles on shows like Little House On The Prairie, Mr. Belvedere, Fame, and St. Elsewhere before taking on the part of Jamie Lawson, the mischievous, cherubic-faced son of an inventor who creates a robot girl known as V.I.C.I. (or "Voice Input Child Identicant"). Though garishly low-budget, painfully unfunny, and critically derided long after its merciful death, Small Wonder has remained an object of (mostly ironic) cult fascination for decades—a following that both the girl who played V.I.C.I., Tiffany Brissette, and Supiran distanced themselves from by quitting acting soon after.
