Movies And TV Shows

• Bateman made his television debut in 1981 with a recurring role on Little House on the Prairie. In the popular series based on the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, he played the adopted son of pioneers Charles and Caroline Ingalls.
• Bateman first showed his comedic talents in the popular sitcom Silver Spoons, starring Rick Schroder, in 1982. In the series, Bateman played Schroder’s scheming school friend. His boy-next-door good looks and sense of humor made him very popular with younger audiences, especially teenaged girls.
• Bateman moved on to the short-lived TV comedy It’s Your Move, playing yet another scheming teen. He soon landed a supporting role on another family comedy with Valerie Harper of The Mary Tyler Moore Show fame, playing one of Harper’s three sons. For his efforts, at the age of 18, he became the youngest person inducted into the Directors Guild of America.
• While enjoying sitcom success, Bateman co-starred with sister Justine in the 1986 television movie Can You Feel Me Dancing? which was co-produced by their father.
• Bateman then made his feature film debut in the poorly received Teen Wolf Too (1987), the sequel to the 1985 comedic hit starring Michael J. Fox. He played a relative of Fox’s character who discovers that he also suffers from the family’s werewolf curse. Grossing only $7.6 million at the box office, the film was considered a commercial failure. Bateman’s father had also produced this film.
• After The Hogan Family ended in 1991, Bateman continued to find work on television. None of these roles lasted for long, however. The family comedy Simon only lasted one season, from the fall of 1995 to the spring of 1996.
• Taking a professional risk, Bateman stepped away from his usual sitcom roles for the 2001 series Some of My Best Friends. The show was based on the 1997 independent comedy Kiss Me, Guido, which explored the relationship between a gay man (Bateman) and a straight Italian American man (Danny Nucci) who become roommates.
• Bateman entered an uncertain time in his career after the failure of the series. “After 26 years of executing something, most people either switch course or depart. I was covering out my welcome on TV; you get certain vibes that they’d rather see someone they hadn’t seen before,” the actor explained to Vogue.
• In 2003, Bateman experienced a professional resurgence with the TV comedy Arrested Development. He performed Michael Bluth, a widower with a teenaged son (Michael Cera) who can’t seem to break away from his dysfunctional family. Each of his adult siblings displayed a unique distorted outlook on life.
• While it never gained good ratings, Arrested Development was a critical success. The show was nominated for many Emmy Awards during its initial three-season run, including a nod for Bateman in 2005 for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series. That same year, Bateman won his first Golden Globe Award for best actor in a musical or comedy series.
• After just three seasons on FOX, Arrested Development was canceled by the network in 2006. To fans’ delight, however, the series was renewed by Netflix in 2013, with the entire original cast reuniting for its fourth season. Following another hiatus, Season 5 premiered on Netflix in May 2018.
• Bateman’s work on the initial run of Arrested Development helped revitalize his film career. He landed a string of small and supporting roles in such comedies as 2004’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and 2006’s The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn.
• Bateman reteamed with Garner for the 2007 independent comedy Juno, about a pregnant teenager (Ellen Page). In the film, he and Garner play a married couple who want to adopt Page’s baby.
• The following year, he co-starred with Will Smith and Charlize Theron in the superhero comedy Hancock.
