Ever wonder what became of your favorite child TV stars? For anyone feeling nostalgic, In2TV -a new service from AOL and Warner Bros.-lets fans watch some of the most memorable shows from the '70s and '80s for free and on demand. Plus, a special Where Are They Now feature reveals what yesterday's stars are doing today.

Here are just a few examples of classic TV stars found on In2TV:

Mike Seaver ("Growing Pains")-From Teen Sensation to Spiritual Inspiration

Kirk Cameron, known to millions of fans as Mike Seaver from "Growing Pains," was the biggest teen idol in the late 1980s. He appeared on the covers of several teen magazines and starred in a number of films. During his time on "Growing Pains," Kirk converted to evangelical Christianity and married his on-set girlfriend Chelsea Noble.

After the show ended, Cameron starred in the short-lived WB sitcom "Kirk" for two seasons. He left mainstream film and television, and now appears in Christian films such as "Left Behind" and "The Miracle of the Cards." He and Chelsea have six children.

Arnold Horshack ("Welcome Back, Kotter")-The "Sweathog" Becomes the Teacher

Ron Palillo achieved worldwide fame as Arnold Horshack, one of the lovable "Sweathogs" from "Welcome Back, Kotter," which aired from 1975 to 1979.

Following "Kotter," Ron taught acting at the University of Connecticut, while he made guest appearances on popular shows including "The Love Boat," "CHiPs" and "The A-Team." Ron became an accomplished artist and brought his talent to children's literature, having illustrated the books A Gift for the Contessa and The Red Wings of Christmas. Ron also penned an original Broadway show called "The Lost Boy."

Tommy Hiatt ("Alice")-Actor, Director, Producer

Philip McKeon started as a child model, but he broke into showbiz at age 11 as Tommy, the son of a single working mother played by Linda Lavin, on the hit sitcom "Alice." He literally grew up on camera as a regular fixture on TV for nine years. Philip came from a talented family-his sister, Nancy McKeon, played Jo on "The Facts of Life."

Since "Alice" ended in 1985, Philip has made occasional acting appearances on TV and in films. He also produced movies, including the recent thriller "The Jacket" starring Adrien Brody and Keira Knightley.
