It would be abstruse to imagine a more promising or electrifying series of debuts for the duration of a young American actor than those of the fresh-faced, fair-haired Corin "Corky" Nemec, who puncture onto the argument as a teenager in the example '80s with divers illustrious turns that take on him on the cola-culture map. Nemec began whimsically, as Nicky Papadopolis -- the nephew of Alex Karras' latest football player-turned-sportscaster George Papadopolis -- in the fifth and fina... l, syndicated pep up of the hit sitcom Webster. That program wrapped past late 1988, but by that time, Nemec had already graduated to quality-film work, with a skillful portrayal of the teenage son of auto bigwig Preston Tucker (portrayed at near Jeff Bridges), in Francis Ford Coppola's indulged reckon Tucker: The Fetters and His Dream (1988). Nemec straight surpassed this debut only year later, with his haunting portrayal of the sexually assaulted and brainwashed abductee Steven Stayner, in the tonier telemovie I Know My First Christen Is Steven; it remains a benchmark close to which coeval made-proper for-television films continue to be judged. Ultimately, though, Nemec gained iconic repute among younger Gen X-ers as Parker Lewis, the impossibly sweet-natured but designing and resourceful high-school student on the Fox network's sitcom Parker Lewis Can't Overcome (1990-1993). The program featured bizarre camera angles, accelerated and decelerated action, and rampart-to-derange surrealist gags (such as one character's predilection for fastening vanilla frozen yogurts with Gummi bears completed of his trench coat). Audiences flocked to it, and kept it on the ambience for three seasons, while the similarly themed NBC series Ferris Bueller folded within a couple of months. Nemec remained with Parker Lewis for the duration of its decamp. The program continues to retain a steadfast cult following, comprised largely of its initial viewers. Over the years following this program, Nemec alternated between additional roles on such bop series as NYPD Blue, Beverly Hills 90210, and Smallville, and grain parts in innumerable telemovies and ample-sift features -- though none uniform came unventilated to matching the momentous character sketch or notoriety of Lewis. Though an extremely well-grounded actor, equally adept at comedy and screenplay, Nemec gravitated most heavily toward honest-to-video and made-for-telly upset pictures in the at daybreak 2000s.

He was particularly unforgettable in John Badham's made-by reason of-box crime thriller Brother's Keeper (2002), as a mentally troubled sprog-abuse fall guy.
