'The Kids Are Alright' Cast Includes A Lot of Famous Faces That Might Just Surprise You

Premiering right after The Conners on ABC starting Tuesday, October 16, The Kids Are Alright is a new comedy that follows an Irish-Catholic family in the 1970s just trying to make their way though "one of America's most turbulent decades." World, meet the Clearys, and the actors (and actress!) behind the charming retro characters.

Michael's most notable role in the past few years has been Abraham on AMC's hit The Walking Dead. Well before that though, Michael scored parts in Touched by an Angel, Home Improvement, 24, and CSI, Southland.

Much like her on-screen hubby, Mary has portrayed many roles over the years, starting with Rickie in Law and Order (back in the early '90s). As of today, she has 67 credits to her name according to IMDB - ER, The West Wing, Scandal, Divorce, and Will & Grace, to name just a few of the big ones.

Sam may be relatively new to the acting world, but he still has some noteworthy credits (like Chicago P.D. and Electric Dreams). Besides Kids Are Alright, the actor is set to be in Once Upon a River alongside Bill Murray in 2019.

Like the rest of his cast mates, Caleb has an extraordinary acting background. But perhaps his most known roles included recurring parts in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace, American Horror Story: Cult, and Grey's Anatomy.

Christopher has an already impressive résumé to boast despite only being 14 years old. He has scored roles on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Me, Myself and I (he plays Justin), and Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.

If you've ever watched And Then I Go, Super Dark Times, and/or Bridge of Spies, chances are you recognize Sawyer. Apart from those projects, you can catch his work in Public Morals, Black Box ,and The Following.

Timmy (a.k.a. Jack) might look familiar to you if you're a Law & Order: Special Victims Unit or Billions fan. Additionally, Jack's acting credits also include playing Graham Henry on The Michael J. Fox Show and Carson in Billy & Billie.

Don't let Santino's adorable smile and glasses fool you - he's scored roles in some pretty big shows ever since taking up acting at the age of seven. According to his IMDB, Santino has appeared in Grey's Anatomy, Monsters, and Fiendish Things.

Before Andy took on the role of William, he was a competitive figure skater (starting at the age of five). After learning his love for singing and acting, he soon began popping up on various TV shows, such as NCIS and Heartbeat. He even got to play Ralphie in Fox's A Christmas Story Live!
