This is Nucking Futs!
:02:03
But after six years of success,
the ratings began to slip.
:02:07
And just as fast as the Dickie
phenomenon exploded,
:02:09
it was over.
:02:11
Dickie's mother,
soon after, left him
:02:13
and moved out of the area.
:02:14
He found himself alone.
:02:16
Here's former Eight is Enough
star Dick Van Patten.
:02:18
Stardom is really hard
on child actors,
:02:21
and when you throw in a horrible
stage mother like Peggy Roberts,
:02:25
poor little Dickie
had no chance.
:02:28
Nobody would hire
the troubled actor,
:02:30
and pictures surfaced
of Dickie's odd behavior--
:02:33
including compulsive
glove wearing.
:02:35
He had his name legally changed
to "David Soul's Son."
:02:38
Then, tired of explaining
who David Soul was,
:02:40
he tried "Hutch's Son."
:02:43
Later, he changed it again
:02:44
to the element chart symbols
:02:45
for fluorine,
titanium and zinc.
:02:49
Today, Dickie Roberts
:02:51
is certain
that a showbiz comeback
:02:52
is in the cards for him.
:02:54
He is working
as a valet parking cars.
:02:56
But as everybody knows,
:02:58
in Hollywood, sometimes your
dreams can come true... again.
:03:04
This is the story
of Dickie Roberts,
