So I gotta try to stump you. Which show had a character named “Skippy” and who played that character?</em></div>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;Wow, that’s easy. &nbsp;Family Ties. &nbsp;Skippy was played by Marc Price. &nbsp;As a child Skippy got his head caught in the bannister three times.</p></div>  </blockquote>  <div><em>eLW: That was too easy, I guess. OK, Square Pegs: most famous actor?</em></div>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;Well, I think you’re fishing for Sarah Jessica Parker– but the better actor on the show was Jamie Gertz. &nbsp;Jamie just did an episode of Modern Family.</p></div>  </blockquote>  <p><em>eLW: OK. Growing Pains. First names of all the Seavers?</em></p>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;Jason, Mike, Ben, Maggie, and Carol. &nbsp;The last couple of seasons they had a baby? Right? &nbsp;I can’t remember the baby’s name, but I remember the baby grew up during hiatus. &nbsp;At the end of one season she was an infant and then at the beginning of the next season she had speaking lines. &nbsp;Leonardo DiCaprio was on there for a season as well– He played some runaway that family adopted.</p></div>  </blockquote>  <p><em>eLW: Who played the kids?</em></p>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;Easy– Tracy Gold was Carol– Her sister, Missy, was the governor’s daughter on Benson. &nbsp; Kirk Cameron played Mike. &nbsp;Jeremy Miller was Ben. &nbsp;The late Andrew Koenig played Mike’s best friend, Sylvester Stabone. &nbsp;His father played Chekov in the Star Trek Series. &nbsp;Got any more?</p></div>  </blockquote>  <div><em>eLW: You are good. I give up. OK, no I don’t: Mr. Belvedere’s first name?</em></div>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;Lynn. &nbsp;Brice Beckman, who played Wesley, just had a series on VH-1 a couple of years ago.</p></div>  </blockquote>  <div><em>eLW: Amazing. Thank you, Mark. And for our readers who like networking, one final question: What’s next on your conference calendar? Or where can people find you online?</em></div>  <blockquote>  <div>  <p>ML: &nbsp;We are talking about exhibiting at Learning Solutions, but have not yet made a decision. &nbsp;I will likely be at the MLearning Show in June and will be back at DevLearn next year. &nbsp;We’re also planning on going to ISTE 2012.</p>  <p>I’d love to hear from people online– My company is <a href="http://www.learntoprogram.tv">www.learntoprogram.tv</a>. &nbsp;I am at <a href="http://www.MarkLassoff.com">www.MarkLassoff.com</a>. &nbsp;My linked in is <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/marklassoff">www.linkedin.com/in/marklassoff</a> and my email is <a href="http://www.elwmag.com/2011/11/12/elearning-thought-leaders-mark-lassoff/mailto:mark@learntoprogam.tv">mark@learntoprogam.tv</a>.</p>  </div>  <div>Hope everybody reads and responds to my upcoming columns.</div>  <div>Buh-Bye.</div>  </blockquote>  <div>  <div>Scroll down to the eLW Basement to find Mark’s 50% off coupon!</div>  </div>    <div class="posterous_quote_citation">via <a href="http://www.elwmag.com/2011/11/12/elearning-thought-leaders-mark-lassoff/">elwmag.com</a></div> <p style="font-size: 10px;">  <a href="http://posterous.com">Posted via email</a>   from <a href="http://ericmatas.posterous.com/elearning-thought-leaders-mark-lassoff-elw-ma">Eric's Preposterous</a>  </p>  </div><div class="feedflare">
