Jason Bateman

In the first couple of minutes, Jason briefly talks about LHOTP.

Is it me, or does Jason not seem to age? Ha! He looks the same as he did 10 years ago. He has such a funny sense of humor.

I agree. He looks the same.

He looks good, but have you seen his sister Justine?!?!?! OH MY!!! She was in an episode on NCIS a week or so ago, and it took about 3/4 of the show before I realized who she was!!!

I've seen her, but not for awhile. She does look a bit "different." I don't know if she had some work done, or botox, or what, but she just looked like she had aged more, and not as graceful as Jason. She used to be very pretty.

I saw her in that! I knew she looked familiar, and then suddenly it came to me who she was.

I saw that Regis and Kelly episode....he is such a cutie. And he does have a great sense of humor, I agree. And "Little House on the Prairie" was the winning answer for the question the next day too! It was "What 80's show did Jason Bateman say he got his start", or something like that. The caller got it!


I haven't seen Justine for quite awhile either, but the last time I did I was thinking she wasn't aging so well. She's admitted to battling substance abuse in the past, and you just can't abuse your body like that and age 'gracefully'.

Jason's smile is such a winner. I am glad he is doing well. I want to see the movie he is in with Jennifer Aniston. I'm not a fan of her, but Jason just might make me buy a ticket.

Actually Gin, I just saw a preview for the one with Jason & Jennifer---it's called "The Switch" and it's dvd now! No ticket necessary!

Cool....I just might rent it though.

Jason Bateman also has Tiger Blood if you ask me.

Thank you for sharing this. It was neat that he mentioned Little House, it's always cool to hear it mentioned nowadays. Jason reminds me a bit of Ralph Macchio in the fact that he's aged very gracefully! I just looked him up on IMDB to see how old he is, he's 42.

I didn't realize that he's only a year younger than me. Somehow, he seemed much younger when the show was on.

I was thinking about it this morning, and it's amazing how successful so many of the actors were during Little House and afterwards. Maybe they haven't been in front of the camera, but Dean Butler and Linwood Boomer have both been busy behind the camera. Melissa Gilbert, Jason Bateman, and Shannen Doherty have continued acting. Karen Grassle is involved in the theater. Alison Arngrim has so many things going on. Three LHOP actors are now published authors.

It's wonderful to see.

Miss Bethandmanly, its also 'what could have been'.
Micheal Landon would be only 76 years old this year. I wonder what other iconic shows he could have brought us. But alas, he died wayyy before his time. He was a visionary, a man who knew what people would like.

I so agree, Teresa. He hasn't changed much and is still recognisable from his Little House days! Glad he's been rewarded with a successful movie career.

Just saw Jason Bateman on tv and was struck by how old he looked. It was kind of a wake-up call since I'm exactly his age. I keep telling myself 41 isn't that old though, but it would help if I heard it from other people, too.

JASON BATEMAN!! That's who was on Little House today. I was watching with my grandma and pointed him out saying that he still was acting. I couldn't remember his name. She had no clue either. Thank you, whitelighter!!

I think he looks great! He is now 43. Here's something funny: He's EXACTLY one YEAR and one DAY older than me!

41 is anything but old!

I'm turning 30 this dec. .So don't think 41 is old....

I'm 30. I feel & look young

Here I am! I'm 40 and I don't think I look old. As for FEELING old, I didn't feel a bit old.

Vanesa.

40 is the new 30.


As far as Jason Bateman goes, he is probably the most successful of anyone (in terms of the 'business') to come out of Little House. (Well, aside from Michael Landon before he passed). He hit it big with Arrested Development!

Everybody thinks and says i look 20.

I should probabily clarify - I didn't mean to imply that Jason Bateman was aging any worse than the anyone els. It was actually just a couple closeup shots of him under a certain light that seemed to illuminate the wrinkles, but I guess it would do that with most of us.
