One of the last roles Noah Hathaway took before his long showbiz hiatus was the character of Adam Galardner on the sitcom Family Ties in 1985. According to Hathaway, what was supposed to be a regular gig got nixed because of some backstage hanky-panky.
Speaking with CinemaJaw, Hathaway said, "I was supposed to come on Family Ties as a recurring role, and, uh, Meredith Baxter-Birney's daughter locked me in her mom's dressing room, but forgot to lock the door, and we were getting it on and the mom walked in and, needless to say, I didn't come back the next season. So I think that's the only time I ever screwed anything up, but you know, you live and let learn, and usually I'm super professional on set."
Wow. And yes, for you math whizzes out there, that puts Hathaway at the ripe old age of about 14 when this all went down. Hathaway also said that he kept in touch with Baxter-Birney's daughter, who told him that she was promptly shipped off to boarding school after their little rendezvous.
