A beloved sitcom star of the 1980s and 1990s was spotted walking his dog during a rare sighting in Los Angeles.

Starting as a young actor, he made his debut on popular TV series from the 1970s and 1980s like St. Elsewhere and The Love Boat.

As a preteen, he rocketed to stardom and became a household name on a long-running hit sitcom that aired from 1987 to 1997. 

Now, as a grown man and a husband and father, he looked a far cry from the puckish adolescent he became famous as onscreen.

He was spotted dressed casually in a hoodie, t-shirt, and Nike shorts, revealing a large tattoo on his calf.

Can you guess who he is?

The actor in question is David Faustino, who starred on Married… With Children as Bud Bundy, the smart-mouthed son of the main family.

Ed O’Neill and Katy Sagal starred on the show as Bud’s parents Al and Peggy, with Christina Applegate playing his sister Kelly Bundy.  

With a cast that included Amanda Bearse as the Bundys’ next-door neighbor Marcy, the show was a roaring success that ran from 1987 to 1997.

David has been acting since he was a baby, appearing on a Lily Tomlin TV special when he was all of three months old in 1974.

Through his childhood, he acted on the top shows of the 1980s and 1980s, such as Little House On The Prairie, St. Elsewhere.

Married… With Children launched him to national fame, as he played Bud Bundy on a grand total of 259 episodes over the decade when he grew up.

Fans fell in love with the main family and were particularly taken with the snippy sibling banter that developed between Bud and Kelly.

David has described his character as a ‘lovable loser’ whom audiences could both ‘love’ and ‘feel for,’ in an interview with Pop Goes The Culture
