Disagree with your "youth of that time aren't out partying" statement. I think that's relative, but I do agree that "Bud" should have easily capitalized off his success as such a popular child star. He made some bad decisions (i.e. appearing in the 'whoop there it is' video) but he's talented- anyone who says otherwise has never acted before. It does take talent to have comedic timing, and his is right on point. He probably just had a bad agent

It's really hard for "kid" actors they either make it or flop there is no in between. Most of them flop. For example Angus T. Jones is bound to flop unless he gets a role that puts him on the map right away. Someone like Angus i suspect to see in the papers dead by O.D before he hits 30. The longer you have nothing going on after a big hit the worse it gets. You'll always be known as the "character" from the old success. That is the death of your career.
As for Ed yeah, he hasn't been the most lucky guy but i am sure he'll get through. Katey has already bounced many times - she is awesome in SoA.
I can't really comment on Christina but i've seen her around in some comedies. She doesn't have her "good" looks as she did when younger. But that has not stopped her. Her age is getting noticeable as well. Not a flop but not a great success either.
As for Faustino - what can i say he wasn't very good in MVC. It's like Seinfeld and Jason Alexander once outside the show people see what they already know, they aren't that great actors.
Of course it all falls flat the second they don't get right back on the horse. They need to "reinvent" themselves or their career is over. At best they can live on the character they played but it's basically down to drugs and/or alcohol.
I am not saying that some kid actors16d0 MAY become famous once they get older but it does not happen very often. The label "known as" is very hard to get rid of.
