HE MADE IT OUT ALIVE! –  

July 11, 2024 – The 38-year-old actor appeared in the recent documentary ‘Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV’ where he opened up on the “extensive and brutal” abuse he suffered at the hands of Nickelodeon dialect coach when he was a teen star … He told Us Weekly: “Recovery is a very difficult thing, especially when you’ve been stricken with [substance abuse] for so many years. But when I started talking about my story sober and clear-headed, it’s a completely different perspective on everything.

“The hurt and pain start to get lifted [and] all of this stuff becomes a part of your past.

“You realize the more you hold those emotions in, they affect everything and everyone around you.

“Now that my story is out, it’s so much easier to go, ‘OK, I tripped and fell there. I could have done it differently, but if I had done it differently, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
