Kirk

"Kirk Hartman is convinced that the best years of his life are just about to begin. Recently sprung from college, Kirk is an aspiring illustrator who is constantly creating superhero characters in the hopes of someday starting a new action/adventure comic book. In the meantime, he just landed a job as a sign painter for an outdoor advertising company in New York, moved into a great bachelor pad in Greenwich Village near his best pal... and lives across the hall from the woman of his dreams. But before Kirk even has a chance to unpack -- never mind let loose -- his aunt shows up with the news that she's off to Florida to be married, leaving Kirk in charge of his younger brothers and sister permanently.

"Kids may not have been part of Kirk's original plan, but he's confident he can still have a life of his own while raising his brothers Corey, 15, and Russell, 7, and his 13-year-old sister Phoebe. He's the first to admit he doesn't have all the answers right now, but he's a college graduate -- he'll figure it out... somehow."

Of course, Kirk and Chelsea worked together in seasons 5, 6 and 7 of Growing Pains.moreless
