Years before he became a Househusband of Hollywood, Charlie Mattera made some mistakes. He robbed banks, got in gun fights, spent a long stretch behind bars.

Now he's wised up. He's persuing an acting career and raising his newborn son while his psychologist wife brings home the bacon. He's also taking child-rearing advice from his BFF, Ryan O'Neal.

You know, the awesome daddy who was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after a playful scuffle with son Griffin (charges were dismissed, OK?) and who then bonded with son Redmond when they were arrested together for felony possession of methamphetamine, and then hit on daughter, Tatum, at girlfriend Farah Fawcett's funeral.

Good luck, Charlie!
