Former "Small Wonder" star Jerry Supiran is hoping a stint on "Dancing With the Stars" will help him turn his fortunes around. The fallen actor, who played Jamie Lawson on the classic '80s sitcom, is campaigning for a spot on the next season of the hit show. And he's convinced the reality show will put him back on his feet after a series of misfortunes.

Supiran tells TMZ.com that at his lowest he spent time living in a homeless shelter after a stripper ex-girlfriend stole his cash. The 39-year-old says, "I'm hoping there will still be interest since people are all about nostalgia these days ... (and) hopefully producers will give me a chance."

Son shouldn't hold his breath.  The show is called Dancing with the Stars and as it is, they already play pretty fast and loose with the word "Stars".  

Small Wonder was a creepy show and this kid wasn't even a star in the 80's.  

I'm sorry he had questionable taste in girlfriends and now is pennyless.  But he needs to suck it up and get himself a job.

Dancing with the Stars isn't going to jumpstart a career that was not even there to begin with.

Who are you? A stripper ex-girlfriend stole you're cash- stay classy fella, she should have stolen your cowboy hat too. Get a job like the rest of the population and  stop crying.

Exactly who is this loser and if "Small Wonder" was such a big hit and he was such a big star then why is it that no one I've asked has ever heard of him or the show.  Hey Jerry, just because you claim to have been a star 25 to 30 years ago doesn't mean you still are.  Go get a job and a clue while you're at it, nobody cares about you or your sob story.  If you were a child star you had an opportunity for security and a good life that 95% of us didn't have so don't come whining to us for sympathy cause you were a fool and blew you chance.

You know what?? GO GET A JOB. Stop trying to horn in on something just to get money. Nobody cares or remembers who you are. I can't stand this, too many idiots who nobody knows are trying to get on the show.  Too many people who are NOT celebrities.......Br​istol Palin........trying to use the show to get money instead of earning it.  I don't care if your ex-stripper gf stole your money.....you are the one who chooses the company you keep. Go get a life first.
