He first appeared in the seventh season in 1980 and remained on the show throughout the eighth season, which ended in 1982. His next big role as a child actor was in Silver Spoons from 1982 to 1984, and fans of the series will remember him for playing the mischievous character of Derek Taylor.
By the mid-’80s, he had appeared on various shows and was gaining popularity quickly. In response, NBC gave him a starring role in his own show, entitled It’s Your Move. After the show ended in 1985, he moved on to The Hogan Family with another recurring role. When he was 18 years old, he was given the opportunity to direct three episodes of the show, becoming the youngest-ever director in America at the time.
Jason Bateman then shifted his focus toward film, and his biggest early role was in Teen Wolf Too. Although the movie was a box office dud, it contributed to Bateman’s notoriety. Further films during this time included This Can’t Be Love and The Sweetest Thing. Bateman continued to appear in various television series over this period as well, including Some of My Friends and Chicago Sons.
