Bobby Fite

Bobby Fite is an American former film and television actor. Beginning his professional career as a child actor and model at the age of six, Fite is perhaps best known for his recurring role as J.T. Martin on the popular NBC comedy series Silver Spoons, as well as for his feature film roles in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, The Legend of Billie Jean, and Explorers.

Fite was born Robert Nelson Fite on October 22, 1968 in Dallas, Texas to parents Roselle and Robert Fite. Growing up in Dallas, Fite began his show business career at the age of six after taking it upon himself to contact local talent agent Kim Dawson. When recounting the experience years later, Dawson explained, He said, I want to be an actor. I remember how amazed I was. I told him what hed have to do, and he said, I can do that. In the following years, Fite worked as a child actor and model, appearing in local commercials and print advertorials. With his youthful boyish looks and Texas drawl, Fite was often cast as the southern boy, primarily playing roles several years younger than his actual age throughout most of his career as a child star.
