Jerry Supiran as Jamie Lawson with his new robot sister, Vicki, in "Small Wonder." YouTube screengrab Former child actor, Jerry Supiran, of 1980s "Small Wonder" is broke and homeless, blaming his current misfortune on a stripper, The New York Post reports.

“When I was 18, I dated a stripper and she took what was left of my trust fund — then one of my advisers stole a half-million dollars from me,” Supiran said.

39-year-old Supiran played the adolescent Jamie Lawson on "Small Wonder." The show revolved around Jamie's robotic 10-year-old sister Vicki (standing for Voice Input Child Identicon) created by his research engineer father, Ted.

Here's what Supiran looks like today. YouTube screengrab The half-hour comedy aired for 96 episodes from 1985-89 before going into weekend syndication on Channel 5 in New York.

Supiran became homeless after losing his most recent position as a waiter.

“I’ve worked at different steakhouses for the last 15 years,” he said. “But two years ago, I was laid off from a restaurant in Henderson, Nev., due to the economy. I haven’t been able to find a job since.”

Since then, Supiran moved back to California where his brother lives, sleeping at a homeless shelter he volunteers at, or under a local bridge.

The childhood actor also appeared on "Little House on the Prairie," "Galactica 1980" and "St. Elsewhere."
