Brentastic Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 From Growing Pains This story popped up in the ABC link in the thread Wiegie posted; thought it was kind of dumb of them not to post a current picture. I did see a current pic on a quick blurb this morning - he had long hair like Fabio (but brown). Also, wasn't his character name, Voner? It always sounded like boner to me, but I assumed it had to be voner since 'boner' would be an inappropriate character name for a tv sitcom of the 80s.

His original name on the show was erection. They felt it was a little over the top so they called him boner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, it was Boner. The character’s (or maybe his fathers) name was Sylvester Stabone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Correction the Characters full name was Richard Milhous Stabone. It must have been his Dad that was named Sylvester. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing_Pains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 His real life dad played Pavel Andreievich Chekov in the original Star trek series. Another couple hours of research, and I’ll be a Boner expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 (edited) Correction the Characters full name was Richard Milhous Stabone. It must have been his Dad that was named Sylvester. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growing_Pains So his real nickname is Dick Boner translation of Richard Stabone Now that's some good writing by the STAFF Edited February 23, 2010 by Sunday Couch Potatoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swashbucklers Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 All kidding aside, does anyone have any updates? I heard that his parents were scheduled to be on Larry King last night and left abruptly prior to the interview. I want my Boner back!
