The Eye of The Tiger dance machine scene is still etched in the hearts and minds of many.
Though brief, Tucker was probably one of Nickleodeon’s most memorable shows. It ran for 13 episodes from 2000 to 2001 and featured familiar faces such as Seth Green (as Seth Green) and Katy Sagal as Aunt Claire.
The story focused on young Tucker adjusting to a new life after his parents separation. Tucker and his mother move into Aunt Claire’s, and Tucker falls in love with the girl next door. Tucker’s adventures are all in an effort to win McKenna’s affections and steal her away from her celebrity boyfriend, Seth Green.
Tucker was played by the baby-faced Eli Marienthal.
After a few appearances in
American Pie and Confessions of a
Teenage Drama Queen, Marienthal retired from acting in 2004. In 2009, he made a brief cameo in
The Big Bang Theory but has not been seen on the silver screen since.
Now aged 30, Marienthal is still recognisable from his cheeky smile that won the heart of many a preteen.
