Fred Savage, Dakota Fanning, Haley Joel Osment, Alyssa Milano, Daniel Radcliff, and Drew Barrymore all had something in common with Azary Messerer; they were all child stars. Granted, being a child star in 80's America was probably pretty sweet, being a child star in the 1946 Soviet Union, under Stalin, probably wasn't the same. They had no cocaine, break dancing, or hair gel in 1940's Russia.

In 1946 Azary starred in a film called, "The 15 Year Old Captain". He was a child star behind the iron curtain who moved his family over to America when he grew up. Ironically in the film he played an American boy kidnapped and shipped to Africa. Seriously, Africa.

Apparently its a Russian cinema classic. Check out the video.
