1* ActingForTwo: Plays a set of twins in the Series/WonderWoman episode “My Teenage Idol Is Missing”.
2* CareerResurrection: Had a brief period of this towards the end of TheNineties after Creator/VH1 broadcast his episode of ''Behind The Music''.
3%%** He seemed to be heading for another one as of late 2012 with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkaL4xwI1qE this parody]] of the Chanel No.5 advertisement starring Creator/BradPitt. However, that never fully came to fruition.
4* ChannelHop: Went from being signed to Atlantic Records in 1976 to being signed to Scotti Bros in 1978. It ended up being one of the biggest mistakes of his professional career as he still doesn't have the rights to the music he recorded with them. He ended up starting his own label, ''Tongue and Groove Records'', in the mid-1990s.
5* CreatorBacklash: Despite openly saying he doesn't care for "I Was Made For Dancin'", he's still known to frequently perform it live for the sake of his former teenage fanbase attending his concerts for nostalgia. His dislike of the song has caused him to sometimes [[RearrangeTheSong reappropriate]] it is an acoustic ballad or a straight-up rock song.
6* CreatorBreakdown: His legal troubles have unfortunately earned him more airtime than his creative endeavours in the past few decades.
7* DevelopmentHell: Was writing a memoir as far back as 2010. In 2018 he signed with a literary agent and rewrote it with Chris Epting before [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell finally releasing it]] in November 2019.
8* NonActorVehicle: Despite being a professional actor from the age of five, most of his appearances on TV and film were designed to be this due to the general public’s common perception of him as a pop singer.
9* ReclusiveArtist: Though not properly reclusive by any means (he's rather outgoing and open to talking to fans), it took him until around April 2015 to take to social media. That's what qualifies in TheNewTens as reclusive ... Right?
