E.T. - Robert MacNaughton

I was watching E.T. last night and started to wonder what happened to Robert MacNaughton who played the oldest brother Michael in the movie. Robert MacNaughton was born December 19, 1966 in New York City. He won a 1983 Young Artist Award for Best Young Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his role in E.T. He then made a few made for TV movies and moved to Arizona in 1994 to pursue a career in theater. He gave up acting a few years ago and became a mail handler for the US Postal Service. He is married and has one son. “MacNaughton says his son “has seen the E.T. video a few times. He calls it ‘the movie where Daddy pretends to be a little boy.’ “”
