He survived being a child and teen TV star, hanging out with Nell Carter for 77 episodes of “Gimme a Break” and “Blossom”—Mayim Bialik— for 114 weekly shows. After that he spent some time establishing himself as a serious actor, even asking to be known as Joseph Lawrence for a time. But when he took the unlikely plunge as a contestant on the third season of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” Lawrence made his presence felt in the land of grown-ups—he did a three-episode stint on “CSI:NY”—and I suspect its been smooth sailing ever since. Lawrence and Melissa Joan Hart are currently starring in a new movie on ABC Family, “My Fake Fiance.” Joey Lawrence • Twi
