TORONTO – Two decades after he played Kirk Cameron’s father on Growing Pains, Canadian actor Alan Thicke is playing the father of Cameron’s sister in a TV movie.
“Small world, Kirk,” Thicke tweeted Monday from Vancouver, where he is making the Hallmark Channel movie Let It Snow with Candace Cameron Bure, best known for playing D.J. Tanner on the sitcom Full House.
“Does that make me Bob Saget’s uncle? Brother? Rabbi?,” Thicke asked.

Bure, who celebrated her 37th birthday in B.C. on Saturday, is married to former Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames player Valeri Bure.
Thicke, who recently wrapped the ABC comedy pilot Bad Management with David Spade, was in Toronto recently to co-host Global’s The Morning Show.
The 66-year-old Kirkland Lake, Ont. native will be back in Canada this summer for a series of dance competition shows in Niagara Falls.
Thicke will co-host Dancing Like the Pros at Fallsview Casino Resort with former American Idol competitor Joanna Pacitti.
There will be 13 shows from July 18 to 24 in the resort’s Avalon Ballroom.
Dancing Like the Pros promises “an all-star cast of acclaimed dancers” battling it out in Latin, Ballroom and Contemporary competitions for a panel of judges and audience members equipped with electronic voting devices.
