His career subsequently halted in the years following the show's cancellation. </p><p>Unable to find another acting gig due to his eccentric habits, a now older Dickie has been reduced to parking cars at a <a href="/wiki/Morton%27s_Restaurant_Group" class="mw-redirect" title="Morton's Restaurant Group">Morton's restaurant</a> and appearing on <i><a href="/wiki/Celebrity_Boxing" title="Celebrity Boxing">Celebrity Boxing</a></i>, where he suffers a humiliating first-round defeat to <a href="/wiki/Emmanuel_Lewis" title="Emmanuel Lewis">Emmanuel Lewis</a>. In the public eye and to his girlfriend Cyndi, who leaves him on the roadside after a car problem, Dickie is a washed-up loser. </p><p>After talking to his old friend <a href="/wiki/Leif_Garrett" title="Leif Garrett">Leif Garrett</a>, Dickie is absolutely convinced a new <a href="/wiki/Rob_Reiner" title="Rob Reiner">Rob Reiner</a> movie in the works titled <i>Mr. Blake's Backyard</i> will be his comeback. Even after his agent Sidney Wermack fails to land him an audition, Dickie persists. While on duty at Morton's, he <a href="/wiki/Joyride_(crime)" title="Joyride (crime)">joyrides</a> in a customer's vehicle and drops into an <a href="/wiki/Alcoholics_Anonymous" title="Alcoholics Anonymous">Alcoholics Anonymous</a> meeting where he pesters <a href="/wiki/Tom_Arnold_(actor)" title="Tom Arnold (actor)">Tom Arnold</a> to connect him with Reiner. After he is kicked out as he's not an alcoholic, Dickie fakes being drunk and mistakenly wanders into a <a href="/wiki/Lamaze" class="mw-redirect" title="Lamaze">Lamaze</a> class <a href="/wiki/Brendan_Fraser" title="Brendan Fraser">Brendan Fraser</a> is taking with his wife. Fraser finds Dickie's entrance to the class hilarious and ridiculous and agrees to help him out by calling Reiner on his behalf. </p><p>Reiner bluntly tells Dickie that the part is not within his abilities because it requires knowing how a regular person lives. Unfortunately, he didn't have a normal childhood (he grew up in the limelight, and his emotionally abusive mother Peggy abandoned him once he stopped earning money). Desperate to prove to Reiner he is right for the part, Dickie manages to sell his raunchy <a href="/wiki/Autobiography" title="Autobiography">autobiography</a> for $30,000. </p><p>With the money, he pays a family to "adopt" him for a month to properly prepare the role. Once Dickie hires his "family", things get off to a rocky start, as George, the bread-winning father, insists that they need the money, despite the reservations of the other family members. Grace, the mother, comes to pity their new "son" and gradually provides him with surrogate guidance. Dickie begins to realize a lesson he read in the script for <i>Mr. Blake's Backyard</i>: "Sometimes all of the things you need are in your own backyard". Dickie learns much about himself and life in general and begins to act less immaturely and more as a third parent. He helps the son Sam secure a date and helps the daughter Sally join the <a href="/wiki/Pep_squad" class="mw-redirect" title="Pep squad">pep squad</a>. </p><p>Cyndi returns to him, and he even earns the admiration of George, who turns out to be inept at fidelity. Sidney lands an audition for Dickie by donating one of his kidneys to Reiner after the director is savagely beaten by a psychotic driver whom Dickie provoked while unknowingly driving Reiner's vehicle. Dickie gets the part, proving that "In Hollywood, sometimes your dreams can come true...again". </p><p>After learning that George ran off with Cyndi, Dickie gives up the part to take George's place with the family he has come to love as his own. An <i><a href="/wiki/E!_True_Hollywood_Story" title="E! True Hollywood Story">E! True Hollywood Story</a></i> story on Dickie, aired not long after, reveals that Dickie has since started his own sitcom starring all of his old friends, as well as his new family (including Grace, whom he has married). </p><p>The closing credits are a send-up on Relief albums listed as "To help former child stars" and includes many references to old television sitcoms where Dickie, Leif, their
