 John Franklin – Actor & Teacher

John Franklin was not a child actor although many thought that he was. Franklin was born with a growth hormone deficiency and at the time he was portraying the character of a 12-year-old Isaac Chroner on King’s Children of the Corn (1984), the actor was actually 24 years old. Due to his condition, Franklin assumed roles that were younger than he was in real life, including Child’s Play and The Addams Family. He decided it was time for a retirement in 2000. Franklin became a teacher and stayed on the job until 2016, before returning to writing and acting career, currently working on a young adult novel.
