Note : At twelve years old, River's premiere appearance (apart from commercials) was this CBS TV series which lasted just one season. A drama series based on the classic musical film of the same name. His first reactions of getting the part in the show : "I just leaped five feet into the air. I got all red and freaked out. It was my first television show. Real exciting. A glorious moment. It was something I just waited for, and it's such a rare thing, being at the right place at the right time and just fitting the part. It seems like repetitive crap now, but then a series was big."
