The young Stark child has grown up and is now one of the strongest pillars of the show. She is currently on a quest to avenge her family's murder and find the remaining members of her family.

Mike often listens to his heart and finally succeeds in helping his friends in finding their lost buddy. Watch Stranger Things Season 2 on Netflix.
Miles Brown
This Emmy nominated comedy show has four children who are part of the Johnson family, but it is Jack Johnson who is the cutest of the lot. He is young and a bundle of energy. He loves to dance and is really good at it. Though often fooled by his twin sister into believing ridiculous stories, Jack is a prankster. A typical six-year-old, he is always up to some mischief trying to put his siblings in trouble with his pranks.
Hala Finley
Matt LeBlans's new show, Man with a Plan, features Hala as Adam's adorable daughter Emme who goes back to Kindergarten.

The cute little child is always asking questions, getting into trouble but also making life worth living for her parents.
Cole Sprouse
In an iconic show like F.R.I.E.N.D.S, from Joey to Gunther, everyone is popular; but there's one character who charmed everyone with his short stint. It was Ben, the naughty, yet quiet child of Ross Gellar and his first wife Sarah Gellar. His mother married another woman, his father had two other wives, he is also part Jewish, enough to make Ben a confused child! Nonetheless, everybody loved the adorable boy; they still do!
