Ricky Schroder started his career as an actor at a young age, making a name for himself with a few notable projects. Finally, he landed a role for himself on the popular sitcom "Silver Spoons." Later on in his career, Ricky appeared as Detective Danny Sorenson on the hit cop drama "NYPD Blue."

These days, the 53-year-old Ricky spends most of his time away from the camera, preferring to spend his days tending to his farm instead of acting. That said, Ricky still keeps in touch with his fans via social media, often making and sharing videos wherein he talks about things that matter most to him.

In one of the latest of these videos, Ricky could be seen standing beneath a lovely blue sky on his farm wearing a hat and a jean shirt. At the start of the video, he reminisced about his uncle and his youth. Ricky's uncle taught him about the military, and the actor urged people not to disregard corruption in federal systems.

Although Ricky now lives a tranquil life on his farm, the actor had it tough after his time on "Silver Spoons."

Although many people praised the actor for encouraging people to hold their government accountable, a number of his followers noticed that he was looking more aged than they remembered him from past TV shows. One person commented on the video, "Ricky why are you looking so rough. God bless you."

Another wrote, "What the hell happened to Ricky Schroder ? He looks ROUGH." Another user noted, "He's living. Hopefully, thriving. Rough and Tough." A few more people theorized about the actor's looks, with some noting that life on a farm is no easy thing. One person commented, "He looks great! Rough looks good on him!"

Another Instagram user mentioned, "He's a farmer/rancher. Hard work is rough on the body. Much respect for Rick, living an honest life." Another user looked back at his past as a child actor, countering with, "Child actor. Enough said. He's allowed to look rough after all he's been through."

What Was Ricky Schroder's Life like after "Silver Spoons"?

Although Ricky now lives a tranquil life on his farm, the actor had it tough after his time on "Silver Spoons." In 2019, Ricky made the news after he was arrested for alleged domestic abuse. Several reports claimed that Police showed up at the actor's home after midnight, where they got in contact with his girlfriend.

Although Ricky came across as a loving family man at one point in his life, it has come to light that he does not have the best relationship with his daughter, Cambrie Schroder.

Ricky was subsequently arrested and taken to jail. His bail was reportedly set at a steep $50,000. Although the extent of Ricky's girlfriend's injuries was unknown, she apparently refused medical attention when the Police arrived. This wasn't the first time Police showed up at Schroder's home.

A month earlier, Police were also called to Ricky's residence, once more a little after midnight, to sort out a domestic disturbance. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department showed up at his house, briefly spoke to Ricky and his girlfriend, then took him into custody. The next day, Ricky apparently paid his bail.

Around the time of his second arrest, Ricky's family tried to help the actor turn his life around. They started to realize he had problems caused by constant partying, and they hoped by arranging an intervention, they could help Ricky see the effects his lifestyle was having on himself and those around him. A source shared:

"The last couple of years since their split he hasn't been doing well. His nonstop partying has truly affected his everyday life, and his family wants nothing more than for him to get the help that he needs."

The source claimed Ricky's ex-wife, Andrea Schroder, kept the actor in check. Ever since the pair divorced in 2016, those close to Ricky allegedly noticed he was spiraling out of control. Ricky and his ex-wife married on September 26, 1992, and the couple share two sons and two daughters.

What Is Ricky Schroder's Relationship with His Daughter Like?

Over the years, Ricky's life has been highly public, with many of his worst moments quickly falling under the media's spotlight. Despite his fame and, at some points, infamy, the actor has changed his life by investing his time and energy into his farm. However, one person is still outspoken about the actor's failings.

Although Ricky came across as a loving family man at one point in his life, it has come to light that he does not have the best relationship with his daughter, Cambrie Schroder. However, the two were close at one point. Ricky even wrote his Hallmark film, "Wild Hearts," for Cambrie after she pitched the idea in middle school.

As Cambrie grew up, her relationship with her dad slowly became more strained, and at one point, she decided to block Ricky on Instagram. The decision came after he took to the comment section of one of her photos, criticizing the girl for what he considered to be a lack of clothing. So, Cambrie cut her dad off from her social media accounts.

Growing up to be a fitness coach, Camrbie also opened up about life as the child of an actor. She noted she had a highly irregular childhood, saying she often felt that her emotional needs weren't entirely met. She also often felt "isolated" growing up, and she commented on her father, saying, "He's not normal."

Although Cambrie doesn't have the closest relationship with her dad, she also admits that she doesn't entirely blame him for the way he managed stressful situations. She believes that as a child actor, Ricky never developed certain coping mechanisms, which leaves him at a disadvantage as an adult.
