I still see Darius McCrary (Scam) in movies and on TV, but does anybody know what Ricky's been up to these days??

I'm not sure, but it looks like he didn't make any more movies.

I'm curious too. I am from Rockford, Illinois- Ricky Busker's home town. My sister went to the same middle school with him back in the 80s. It's just strange for someone to make a movie (small budget but still national release) and never do anything ever again. No commercials, tv shows, not even as uncredited. Mr. Busker, where did you go?

No,this is Emily he quit that job 2 years ago after he broke up with his girl friend he now is dating Ute Simone who is an artist . Google her. I would apreceate if you didn't think you were so smart and talk about him like you know him. I am in the process of posting some more recent photos of him. Oh... and I don't know what coffee your drinking or what your recorses are but they are old news. Old a coffee and old news. Get your story straight if you are going to post something about my brother.Thanks

Ricky currently is working for a Car Wash in Seattle Washington. He's also on Parole for Grand Theft Auto. Go figure eh.

wow, I don't know that you are Ricky's sister, I wonder why He didn't interest any actor anymore.
I really enjoyed to watch big shots when I was little, I want to see that movie again, I tried to find any DVD,
but it was no lucky, :(

its funny, ricky sat next to me in a class at hononegah high school, i had no clue who he was, i never saw the film, but a friend asked me if i saw, big shots, then he said ricky was in it, so i went and rented it, only at the end i knew for sure, ricky has a scar tissue type mark on his thumb, then i knew, i never said anything, i figured he just wanted to be like everyone else, without any attention, and thats how i left it.

Well I sure hope the translating program you use has improved since 9 years ago.

I was speaking to 'blackeyeofeye' of course.

That is the absolute dumbest thing i have ever heard. Patrick Dempsey wins an award over him at the young actors awards ceremony and the kid decides to quit acting?? If that's really the reason he stopped then he's a moron. But I dont believe that.
