ROBERT MACNAUGHTON
The classic Steven Speilberg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is already undeniably considered one of the all-time greats in the entertainment scene and we can safely say that there’s a bunch of excellent child performers that emerged from its rosters. That is exactly what happened with Robert MacNaughton. He will always be remembered as the actor that portrayed the role of Michael in that film together with other successful artists such as Drew Barrymore.
He showed to his peers what he can offer on the table and went on to grab the Best Young Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture in the 1982 Young Artist Awards night. It was a great recognition for someone as talented as Robert and to be able to get such praises early in his career was even more amazing! He might have already set up a couple of investment plans for his future and that is why he was confident enough to retire early from the acting scenes.
