4
5	He became a born-again Christian during his time on the show and argued with the producers over the show's scripts, going so far as to call them "pornographers", ultimately leading to the end of the show since he had become increasingly difficult to work with. Since ''Growing Pains'' ended, he has become active in evangelical Christianity and has taken controversial positions on issues such as creationism and homosexuality, along with starring mostly in conservative, Christian-themed films since.

27	!!Tropes associated with the actor:
28	* DullSurprise: His mode of acting is pretty much "if you don't see him talking, you don't see him acting".
29	* StreisandEffect: A fairly notorious example in the case of ''Film/SavingChristmas''. Kirk was unhappy with the critics negative assessment of his movie (mostly concerned with the poor production quality and InsaneTrollLogic used in his arguments) and posted a call-to-action online for his fans to bombard review sites with positive reactions. When the general public got wind of this they were less than happy with his attempts to rig the review scores and the movie was universally panned. This essentially trashed any goodwill he had left from ''Series/GrowingPains'' and he has [[CreatorKiller since faded into relative obscurity]].
30	* WagTheDirector: He's done this pretty much most of his acting career. In ''Fireproof'', he refused to do a kissing scene with his co-star Erin Bethea because he felt it would violate his Christian principles, so his wife Chelsea Noble was used as a stand-in for that scene.
