Growing pains stills
On December 14, Canadian actor Alan Sikker, who played his father in the famous American drama "Growing Pains", died at the age of 69. According to reports, Sikh had a heart attack while playing ice hockey with his 19-year-old son Carter on December 13, local time, and died after being sent to the hospital. He may have donated some of his organs after his death.
For many post-70s and post-80s generations, "Growing Pains", which was broadcast from 1990 to 1994, was not only the enlightenment of American dramas, but also laid their initial impression of the strange country of the United States - living in a villa, driving a car, and more surprisingly, parents and children can be as big as friends.
Alan Sikh
The Seaver family, which consists of mom Maggie, dad Jason, naughty Mike, school bully Carol, little pumpkin Ben, and youngest sister Chris, has a colorful life. In the play, Dr. Seaver, who runs a psychiatric clinic at home, is more tolerant than Maggie, who works as a news anchor, often mediating between his wife and children. With his personal charm, Alan Sikh has turned Dr. Seaver, who has a strict wife, a mother-in-law but is very open-minded, reasonable but has a sense of humor, into the "best dad" that everyone wants.
In a 2010 interview, asked how he felt about looking back at Growing Pains, Alan Sikh replied, "I love it and I'm proud of it." I shared the old-school concept of family on the show, but I was happy with the character of Jason Sever and his stance, and the changes the series had brought to me, my life, my family, and my career. So, if there's anything to be inscribed on my tombstone, I'd love to have Growing Pains. ”
Interpretive experiences
Allen has won seven Emmy nominations (five as writers and two as actors) for his talent, and he was the host of NBC's variety game shows Celebrity Sweepstakes and Wizard of Odds in the mid-'70s, during which time he also wrote more than 45 TV series theme songs.
For three years, from 1980 to 1983, he was the director of "Alan. Sikh Show" (a bit like Choi Young-won?) This show, his talk show, still holds the record for the highest ratings of a daytime show in Canada. Later, this successful show had a sub-series "Sikh Evening Slot". From 1985 onwards, Allen began playing jason Seaver, the father of the psychiatrist, in ABC's sitcom series Growing Pains. It turns out that the excellent performance in this TV series has brought him to the world stage. At the same time, he also established a very beloved father figure. The seven-year-old series also brought Allen many honors, including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor. It is this film that has made millions of Chinese viewers know Ellen, the perfect father in the minds of children.
After that, Allen made a 180-degree turn: playing a comical and frivolous TV talk show host Dennis Dupree in NBC's flagship series Hope and Glory.
Allen has also served as an emcee on many major occasions, such as the 1987 Emmy Awards, ABC's Disney Christmas Party, ABC's Animal Carnival, the Miss World Contest (it was while hosting the Miss World contest that he met his second wife, Gina Torrerson, the winner of the Miss World '91 contest), the Miss Usa contest, and so on.
To the surprise of many, what Makes Allen proud of is not the many awards he has won, but the title of "Father of the Year" given to him by some organizations in the United States, because he is a person who loves children very much, and his three sons Branan, Robin and Carter are his favorites, and he would rather push off the film than share the joy of the world with his children.
