What Happened to Mike's Acting Career?

I always wondered why a beefcake and super talented actor like Mike never acted after Problem Child 2? I think I may have found the answer! It seems that Mike and his mother attempted to extort money from Universal Studios in order for Mike to do PC2. If the movie had been a success Universal probably would have moved on and forgotten about the extra cash they had to pay Mike to actually fulfill his contract. Instead the movie was a dud and Universal came after that extra cash. The following articles document the demise of Mike Olivers acting career. I'm quite sure that once this case was done Mike was blackballed by the studios.

I hope that Mike finds some heavy black balls in his mouth soon!
