an update for Barrett Oliver's"Guest Appearances"

Barrett also did a guest appearance on the t.v. series, "Highway To Heaven" if memory serves, the title of Ep. was "To Touch The Moon" He played the the only child of a single Mom who was dying of I think, Leukemia. His last wishes were for his Mom to not be alone, and to be able to touch the moon, Michael arranged for his Mom to adopt a homeless boy, and here's the tear jerking part! As boy the lay in his bed, michael showed him the Moon and told him reach for it, as the boy reached for the Moon, he died!...I consider this episode to be one the best episodes of the series! This whole series only ran a few seasons, 3 or 4 I think! And a couple of years or so after it ended, Michael Landon died of Pancreatic Cancer.

Yes, "Highway to Heaven" had some amazing performances, as did "Touched by an Angel" ... I remember an episode of TBaA with Joseph Cross that had me crying like a baby. 

Both of these series had more boy actors than you can possibly imagine.  Wil Wheaton, Chad Allen, Joseph Cross, Barret Oliver (whom I've just added to the HTH list), Trevor Morgan, Haley Joel Osment, Shia LaBeouf, just to name some of the more famous few.

Take a look at the links below if you'd like some idea of other dozens of boys that were featured in them, many with great performances!

It was absolutely wonderful!  With dual tear-jerker story lines.

Get out the tissues, you'll need them

Highly Recommended!
