Candace Cameron

Candace Cameron Bure was spotted for her talents at a young age too, and began her career starring on several TV commercials and in smaller roles on TV shows. But she really won us all over when she landed the role of D.J Tanner on Full House. After the show ended she guest starred as Cybill and Boy Meets World, but then took a break from acting. Although she did suffer from bullimia in her twenties, she received treatment for this and in 1996 she got married to Valeri Bure, an NHL hockey player and is happily married with three children. Candace later showed off her dancing skills and came third place as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She has also tried her hand as a producer, author, talk show panelist and is co-host of The View. Candace also reprised the role of D.J. Tanner on the spin-off Fuller House.

Rico Rodriguez

When Rico Rodriguez was younger, he dreamed of becoming a “a NASCAR chef who is going to the moon”. However he soon changed his tune when his sister started acting in 2006 and we’re glad he chose to became an actor too. Soon enough, Rico became a household name, landing the role Manny Delgado in the ABC sitcom Modern family, and is still part of the cast. In the meantime he also published his book Reel Life Lessons in 2012 and has appeared in several TV series and movies like The Muppets (2011) and Epic Movie (2007).
