When the recent pictures of once a desirable and outstanding actor and filmmaker appeared, no one could believe their eyes. It was in the late 1970s that he rose to international fame with his Golden Globe-winning role in «The Champ».

His other breakthrough role was in «Silver Spoons». His appearance in «NYPD Blue» and «Scrubs» paved the way for venturing into directing and producing. Apart from his successful career and incredible heights, his personal life has been fraught with struggles.

Not once has he been involved in a strained relationship even marked by legal troubles. The domestic abuse and separation from his partner Andrea Bernard have left a forever mark on him. He hasn’t been active in recent years and spends much time on his farm.

The way Schroder has evolved has come as a big surprise for everyone. It was hard to believe that a heartthrob like him could turn into such a miserable-looking «farmer», as some network users mention.
