We usually hear about the "burnout" stories or those who tried but failed to transition into adult actors. How about the successes?

Which child actors are just as successful or more successful as adult actors?

A few I could thin of:

Neil Patrick Harris
Drew Barrymore
Jodi Foster
Ron Howard (although not as an actor)

Did Josh Brolin do anything before Goonies? If so, and he is considered a "child star", he is more successful now
