Not saying you wrong, but I seriously doubt it
Or at least, doubt they knew about what you talking about at the time
Because if a "kid" let alone an adult goes thru a traumatic experience like molestation?
How fukked up would it be for a director to be like "You been molested? Great, we got a scene where you gotta live thru that again. Just channel the real emotion you still struggle with kid.... ACTION!!!"

Even in a minor role that is some great acting, it must be hard to be a child actor and play such a disgusting role and allow yourself to be victimized even if it's only implied. I wonder how he motivated himself for such a role at a young age with no real experience, it's not like he can be told how to feel.

Whatever the directors said to him must have worked because he played Eddie Winslow's friend with brilliance. Way better than Waldo.

the emotion behind the way he said "ay 'cmere!"

powerful

:banderas:

In May 2006, Ross appeared on an E! Child Stars Special, Geeks, Freaks, and Sidekicks, where he revealed that during the taping of thevery special episode of Diff'rent Strokes in which he was molested, he was going through a similar experience in real life; he was being "touched" by a family friend inappropriately while he was asleep.[4]

I never said anything about someone knowing or whatever. I thought the same thing as you though, but this is where I remember hearing him say it...

LOL I remember when Smart Guy did a lightweight version of that topic.....TJ and some other kid was hanging out with this perv who created video games. He created some virtual reality surfing game, and was tryna get them to get half-naked while testing the game for a more 'authentic experience' :sitdown:

:laff:

This sounds hilariously awful...is there a youtube link?

Edit: Is this it?

Growing up I watched re runs of Different Strokes during Summer vacation and as I kid I didn't understand how bad that episode was.

The one that fukked me up as a kid and had me shook to walk home from school was the episode of The Parent Hood when Nicks friend gets kidnapped. It was just so random it hit me out of nowhere and had me messed up for a few weeks.
