Oliver’s first engagement dates back to the very early age of two, when he was featured as a baby model in a catalog for Sears. At the age of six, he appeared in a commercial for the Chevron Corporation, when he caught the eye of a casting agent which led to his, although short-lived, movie career. In 1990, Oliver was cast for the role of Junior Healy, the title role of Dennis Dugan’s family comedy movie “Problem Child” – this engagement provided the basis for Michael Oliver’s current net worth.
Later that year, Michael also made a brief appearance in one episode of the “Amen” TV series, which was followed by one more short appearance in “The Munsters Today” TV series.
