Summary
Kirk Cameron is known by millions as "Mike Seaver" from the 1980's hit sit-com, Growing Pains. Since then, he's invested his time and energy into faith and family-focused films, television shows, and live events. These projects include Fireproof -the marriage-centered film that became the #1 inspirational movie of the year.
Kirk's new talk show, Takeaways, airs weekly on Monday nights on TBN. Recently, he's been featured in the national media for his American Campfire Revival: 100 day plan where he urges the family of faith to return to the principles that will bring blessing and protection to America. Kirk's newest feature film with the Kendrick Brothers, called Lifemark, is about the value of life in the womb and the beauty of adoption.
He and his wife, Chelsea, met on the set of Growing Pains and have been married for 31 years and have raised wonderful children.
