Johnny Whitaker has been leading 12-step groups at a nearby county jail for the past 20 years; the actor views this as a blessing.
The 64-year-old told News, “Once a month, I go in to share my experience as well as offer strength and hope.” “I carry it out via my ministry. I want these guys to know that there is still hope. They are able to sober up. They have the ability to exit the vicious cycle they find themselves in.”
During the 1966–1971 television sitcom “Family Affair,” the erstwhile child star shot to popularity. The Sid and Marty Krofft Channel is now offering the episodes for streaming. The creative children’s programming produced by the duo was well-known.
According to Marty’s daughter, Deanna Krofft Pope, “Johnny was already famous when he became part of the Sid and Marty Krofft family,” the News reported. “He was not only fantastic as Johnny Stuart in the first ‘Sigmund and the Sea Monsters,’ but we ended up putting him in for repeat appearances when he made a cameo appearance in our reboot. Naturally, the fans adored it as well.”
