Corin Nemec, yeah, the guy whose real name is actually Joseph Charles Nemec IV, but let’s be honest—everyone just calls him Corin because his grandma slapped him with the nickname “Corky” when he was a kid. He started out in Little Rock, Arkansas, but didn’t stick around too long before heading out to Atlanta, and eventually, California became home. Like, not exactly a classic Hollywood origin story, but hey, it works. He didn’t waste much time getting into the acting game, popping up in old-school shows like Webster back in ‘83, and then Sidekicks a few years later. Not really headline stuff, but you’ve gotta start somewhere, right? Things got interesting when he landed a role in Tucker: The Man and His Dream, and, come on, that’s a Francis Ford Coppola flick. That’s not nothing. It really started to click for him with I Know My First Name Is Steven in ‘89. This wasn’t just any TV movie—Corin played the lead, and his performance was killer enough to score him an Emmy nomination. Not bad for a guy barely out of his teens. He kept the momentum going with My Son Johnny in ‘91, another lead role that kept him in the spotlight. But let’s be real, most people remember him as Parker Lewis in Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, that early ‘90s teen sitcom where he basically played the coolest kid in school. That show turned into a cult classic, and Corin totally ran with it.
So, here’s a fun bit—this guy’s a dad to Sadie Nemec and Lukas Manu, juggling that whole parent life in sunny Tampa. He’s not just some random, though; back in the late ‘80s, he was basically running with the cool crowd. Like, actual teen heartthrobs status. Still buds with Brian Austin Green (yeah, the Beverly Hills 90210 dude) and David Faustino, who you might remember as Bud Bundy from Married with Children. They’ve kept that friendship rolling for decades, which is honestly kind of rare in Hollywood. I mean, most people can’t even keep a group chat alive for a year, but these guys? Still tight after all this time. So, whether he’s hanging with his kids or catching up with his old pals, he’s definitely living a pretty interesting life—mix of nostalgia and real-world dad stuff.
reference contentnnLook, Stargate’s a total wild ride—ancient tech, wormholes, weird alien gods pretending to be Egyptian deities, and a bunch of folks stumbling through sand dunes trying not to get vaporized. It’s sci-fi in that old-school way, where every episode throws in new worlds, freaky creatures, and the crew never really gets a day off. Parker Lewis Can’t Lose? That’s a whole other universe: pure ‘90s high school chaos. Parker’s got this uncanny ability to outsmart everyone—teachers, bullies, even the principal who’s basically a cartoon villain. The show’s offbeat, loaded with meta jokes, and every episode feels like Ferris Bueller meets Saturday morning cartoons, just with more neon and less logic. Both shows don’t take themselves too seriously, which honestly makes them way more fun than most stuff trying too hard to be “edgy” these days.
