From his ultimate straight man Michael Bluth in "Arrested Development" to his money-laundering schemer Marty Byrde in "Ozark," Jason Bateman has flitted between drama and comedy over the years, but the New York native got his start in the latter, kickstarting his career as a scene-stealing bad boy in NBC's "Silver Spoons." Premiering in 1982, the sitcom centers on wealthy toy inventor Edward Stratton III (Joel Higgins) and the young son he never knew he had, Richard Bluthorn "Ricky" Stratton, played by future teen heartthrob Ricky Schroder.
