Bonaduce Gets Child Star Reality Show

Posted on: Thursday, 6 March 2008, 00:00 CST

Former U.S. child star Danny Bonaduce will be seen mentoring aspiring young actors and their stage parents in a new reality show, VH1 said Wednesday.

Bonaduce is best known for his work on the 1970s sit-com The Patridge Family.

His new show, I Know My Kid's a Star, is to premiere March 20 on VH1.

A sneak peek of the first episode will be available on VH1.com, starting March 13.

The show challenges Bonaduce to seek out one great, aspiring, triple-threat, stage-hungry kid, identify them as a star and train their driven, stage mom or dad to be a supportive and fit parent who won't end up driving their kid into rehab, VH1 said in a statement.

During the course of eight, hour-long episodes, the series will feature 10 parent/child teams living in a house in Los Angeles, willing to do whatever it takes so the kid can be a star.

Bonaduce and casting director/manager Marki Costello will judge the teams based on skill level, poise, likability and stage presence.

In the end, one team will win $50,000 in cash and a year of representation by Costello.
