About Kirk Cameron
Kirk Thomas Cameron (born October 12, 1970) is an American actor, author, evangelist, television host, documentarian and producer. He first gained fame as a teen actor playing Mike Seaver on the ABC sitcom Growing Pains (1985–1992), a role for which he was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards. Cameron made several other television and film appearances through the 1980s and 1990s, including the films Like Father Like Son (1987) and Listen to Me (1989). In the 2000s, he portrayed Cameron "Buck" Williams in the Left Behind film series and Caleb Holt in the drama film Fireproof (2008). His 2014 film, Saving Christmas, was panned by critics and made the IMDb Bottom 100 List within one month of its theatrical release, with some critics even labelling it one of the worst movies ever made. He has produced films since then, including Lifemark (2022), which was commercially successful. In 2022, he wrote a faith-based children's book, As You Grow, which he read at libraries the following year during a well attended nationwide book tour. Cameron is an evangelical Christian who partners with Ray Comfort in the evangelistic ministry The Way of the Master, and the co-founder of The Firefly Foundation with his wife, actress Chelsea Noble. Cameron began acting at age nine, and his first job was in an advertisement for a breakfast cereal.
