Who Is The Former Child Actor With A Heroin Addiction?
From Reddit
I was on a primetime TV show for many years. I think most people under 35 would have been fans of the show although the guy who played our dad is more famous for another role that came after the show ended. I was sexually abused by many people during my stint on the show including executives and one of the smaller role actors. The studio all knew about it (in fact the guys who played my brothers were also molested) but bought our silence. I always felt like that even though I was molested, at least I had money. Well, my parents spent most of it. And I had to spend what was left to pay for my asshole sibling's drug rehab and to fix their f**king problems. All I have to show for it is $8,000 and my family still asks me for money and complains to me about their problems. I turned to opiates to cope and for a few years, it helped me immensely. Now I work a normal 9-5 job and the memories of the sexual abuse is eating me up inside. When I see boys under 12, I think of when I was abused. I hate when people recognize me and want a picture because I remember all those times when a few men would have me pose nude or in speedos or underwear at their Malibu homes. I also hate it when people ask me when there will be a reunion show because it's been 10 years and I want to retort and say "why the fuck would any of us want to do a reunion show when all we have is memories of men sucking our cocks in the dressing room or watching us in the shower or taking us for "special trips" to their homes?" That is why you will never see a reunion show asshole.
Malcoln in the middle
ReplyDeleteMalcolm in the middle
ReplyDeleteFrankie Muniz?
ReplyDeleteErik Per Sullivan, Malcolm in the Middle.
ReplyDeleteCranston went on to Breaking Bad & much acclaim.
idk where he is or what he does
ReplyDelete....and nothing was here when I typed. Again. =l
ReplyDeleteThe youngest kid from Home Improvement?
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Cranston would have to say about this. I don't doubt that he was abused, I'm just a little leery of the characterization of "many" involved people.
ReplyDeleteHe's obviously a bitter young man, and I hope he's getting counseling, but it doesn't sound like he is.
It's not Erik Per Sullivan. I know his family and know that he doesn't have any siblings.
ReplyDeleteI think it is Justin Berfield---Malcom in the Middle
ReplyDeleteThe Masterson kid?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Justin Berfield. he was the older brother on Malcolm in the Middle. He now works for a film production company and has at least one brother. If it is him, I hope he gets some help. No one needs to carry that sort of pain around with them for life.
ReplyDeletePosting blinds from Reddit now?.....
ReplyDeleteGossip desperation hits another all-time low. :P
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the sourcing instead of passing it off as an original blind. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe the other kid from Malcolm in the Middle - Justin Berfield? there's nothing about him on IMDB after 2012 and he has a brother who appears to be a failed actor?
ReplyDeleteWas going to initially guess Home Improvement with Tim Allen going on to The Santa Clause but I'm sure you all guessed right. Also Bryan Cranston is allegedly closeted.
ReplyDeleteSick and disturbing
ReplyDeleteThis is my guess (sort of) He was pretty troubled. He dropped out of acting at 16 and also, got married to a woman 16 years his senior. He has an older sister that's a model (models are definite rehab material...)
ReplyDeleteA couple of caveats:
With regard to the dad role - Malcom definitely fits better, but arguably Tim Allen is most known for Buzz Lightyear.
I also met his family once and they didn't seem like a greedy, showbiz family. But, you never know
I need to add, that this makes me so angry. Why can't these predators be brought to justice.
ReplyDeleteI have a beautiful son and people frequently ask why I don't try and get him into show business. This is why.
Plus 'Malcolm In The Middle' ended 10 years ago (May 10th 2006).
ReplyDeleteI mean, why doesn't enty just say he's over it?
ReplyDeleteSadly it sounds like Malcolm in the Middle, but which brother? Not Masterson or the youngest, so either Reese or Malcolm. Very sad that nobody stopped this. I'd hate to think Jane Kaczmarek or Bryan Cranston would let this happen if they knew what was going on!
ReplyDeleteIf you love your children, don't let them grow up in Hollywood! Money & power is why the machine is allowed to go on destroying young people. So many parents turn a blind eye, so long as their lives are financed & they don't need to work. I see it all the time. Grotesquely overbearing stage mothers, who essentially pimp their kids, don't really care what happens to them until it hinders the cash flow.
ReplyDeleteGonna go with Malcolm. Home Improvement was more than "ten years ago". More like 20. He doesn't say, in the post, that the guy who played their dad and then went on to a more acclaimed role was *involved* he says it was executives (no surprise there) and a "smaller role actor" . So an adult man who guest starred or recurred but who had the power to do something like abuse members of the main cast and get away scot free with it. Some big names guest starred according to IMDB, how long was this smaller role actor around for?
ReplyDeleteIs Cranston a pedophile?

Ok, amending to Malcom, the big brother. The timing works for Malcom and not for Home Improvement.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to whom ever this is.
I went back to the original thread and the OP says he gets no residuals because the show is not in re-runs. This would seem to let out Home Improvement and Malcolm as both have been in re-runs previously, and are probably on the air/cable somewhere in the world right now.

That's interesting. Another show that ended about 10 years ago was 7th Heaven. And, I believe it's no longer airing anywhere because of the huge Stephen Collins scandal. But, to the best of my knowledge, 7th Heaven was Collins' biggest hit and he has no other big roles (aside from predator).
ReplyDeleteMITM had a reunion last year though... not a show but an actual reunion... 10 years ago is also a vague term. What shows with kids ended in the past 13 years?
ReplyDeleteThis is why I took my 11 year old daughter out of the business just as she was starting to make a name for herself. She was up for her own sitcom and I said, "Enough!" Her agent, everyone threw ---- at me for doing it. I didn't want to see the day when she came home and said, "Mom, I found out what a bj is today." There would have been a very dead casting director/director lying on the floor. This story happens every day. Most parents know the drill but they are so desperate to get out of their tiny apt. in Queens, they'll do anything! Sad.
ReplyDeleteThis story breaks my heart.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about this and Idk if this is legit. most "i have a secret" posts on reddit give no information b/c they know everyone will look into who this is. it could be true and this person misdirected everyone, which would be smart. but stories just like this one are all too common & really happens.
ReplyDeleteI know Bryan, he's not closeted.
ReplyDeleteNo, Bryan Cranston is not a pedophile. How would you get that idea from reading that Reddit? It's packed full of tons of wonderful things he's done for other people and all you do is think about pedophilia.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me wonder if YOU are a pedophile. Why would your mind go there?
You're so full of shit. Jesus fucking christ.
ReplyDeletePedophilia (whether real or imagined) = clickbait
ReplyDeleteY'all some sick fucks thinking Cranston is a pedophile
ReplyDeleteTry reading the blind, dumb-dumb.
ReplyDelete"I remember all those times when a few men would have me pose nude or in speedos or underwear at their Malibu homes."
Right?!! It's like we come here to rubberneck an accident, awaiting the final wheezy gasps of gossip.
ReplyDeleteJumping sharks are everywhere ... but it ain't over until the fat man sings.
Why are we guessing on a blind which is basically from a post on Reddit?? Probably total bs!! We here all know what bs comes from people that anonymously post stuff on the internet.
ReplyDeleteFrankie supposedly has enough money to do what he wants for the rest of his life. He lives outside of Phoenix and left a band. He has also tried golfing and Indy car racing
ReplyDeleteI adored him so much on Malcolm.
ReplyDeleteWow so sad. Justin is only a year younger than me. On a good note at least they were sucking his cock not the other way around. But seriously are there no parents allowed on set or something. Surely he can blackmail those involved today or tell his story.
ReplyDeleteProbably is that MITM kid, I dunno, never watched that show. However, anyone who bitches about pedophilia in the Catholic Church while in H'wood...holy shit. What hypocrites! It's much worse there
ReplyDeleteHow much do I wanna bet that the molesters were all jews
ReplyDeleteto the poster i'm really sorry that happened to you. i urge you to name your abusers. these things will not stop as long as it's kept secret. just naming the abusers could save a child from future abuse even if it anonymous. and no pressure, but if at least one of the boys who was also abused and yourself together went public it would go along way. some will burying their heads in the sand, but many will not. everyone i know is pained and angry by what happened to Corey Haim. if you decide to press legal whether criminal or civil charges you should go after the "Studio Teachers" as well. when i filmed with them they didn't pay any attention to the children on set. Disgusting! But most of all be proud you've taken the first step, keeping the secrets is what destroys us the most. good luck!
ReplyDeleteMITM is too recent surely? I'm in 35 age range & Home Im. seems to fit better to me.
ReplyDeleteApparently the show is not being re-run & it didn't have 3 or 4 brothers?!? See link:

To be fair, if you're gonna look into it, you have to look into all possibilities, no matter how unlikely (like Cranston being involved).
ReplyDeleteNikolas or Lorenzo Brino, 7th Heaven. Dad-Stephen Collins. Smaller Part Abuser- Jeremy London?
