NEW YORK (CBS) Former child star Jonathan Lipnicki got name-dropped during "Family Guy" on Sunday night and was called "ugly" on the cartoon series.

The former child star of the hit '90s film "Jerry Maguire," who's set to turn 20 on Oct. 22, got quite a bit of Internet buzz due to his name being mentioned on the popular Fox series. People all over the country are now wondering, what happened to the formerly little, bespectacled guy?

Lipnicki's still acting all these years later. His most recent undertaking was understudying two roles for the play "The Lieutenant of Irishmore," which starred "Star Trek's" Chris Pine. He hasn't made a lot of movies - just seven since "Maguire" back in 1996, when he was 6 years old.

And like many Millennials of his generation, the guy holds a Twitter account. He wrote a quick tweet responding to fans curious of his take on the "Family Guy" jab, "Hey guys thanks for the love, but I don't feel bad about what they said on family guy. It was all in good fun, i've worked on that show B4," he tweeted last night to his followers.
