Life between Farm, Bible, and Controversies - Life between Farm, Bible, and Controversies
Ricky Schroder, once a beloved child star, has remarried in a quiet ceremony. The actor, now 55, tied the knot with actress Julie Trammel in Mexico this July. Known for his role in The Little Lord, Schroder has since shifted away from Hollywood and into political activism.
Schroder rose to fame as Cedric Errol in the 1980 film The Little Lord, which remains a holiday classic. The movie will air on Germany’s Das Erste on December 19 at 8:15 p.m., kicking off the festive TV season. After his early success, he went on to star in Silver Spoons, NYPD Blue, Scrubs, and 24, while also working as a producer and director.
In recent years, Schroder has stepped back from acting and embraced a more private life in Los Angeles. His last major public appearance was at the 2020 Directors Guild Awards. Instead, he now engages with followers online, sharing strong conservative views, religious beliefs, and opposition to COVID-19 measures like mask mandates and vaccines. His political stance has drawn both support and criticism. Schroder publicly backed Kyle Rittenhouse and faced legal trouble in 2019, including a domestic violence allegation that was later dropped. That same year, he was arrested during a protest, further fueling controversy around his activism.
Schroder’s marriage to Trammel marks a new personal chapter for the former star. While he remains a familiar name from his acting days, his focus has clearly shifted. The holiday broadcast of The Little Lord will remind audiences of his early career, even as his current life stays largely out of the spotlight.
