Career

Brian Peck began his career in the 1980s as an actor, landing minor roles in films like The Last American Virgin (1982) and The Return of the Living Dead (1985), where he played Scuz, earning a cult following in the horror genre. He also appeared on television shows such as Growing Pains, where he served as a body double for Kirk Cameron, and Boy Meets World.

In the late 1990s, he transitioned into dialogue coaching, working on Nickelodeon’s All That and The Amanda Show (1999–2002), where he also played Pickle Boy. His role as a dialogue coach extended to Drake & Josh (2004–2007), mentoring young actors.

Peck’s career took a controversial turn following his 2003 arrest for child sexual abuse, with his conviction in 2004 for lewd acts against a minor, later revealed to be Drake Bell. Despite pleading no contest to two charges and serving 16 months in prison, he was hired by Disney Channel in 2005 for voiceover work on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

Disney terminated him upon learning of his conviction, replacing his contributions. He continued working in minor roles, including Bedtime Stories (2008), Freaks of Nature (2015), and Anger Management (2012–2013), with his last credited role in the 2018 miniseries Animal Showdown.

Peck’s professional activities ceased around 2019, and he has since maintained a low profile. His case gained renewed attention through the 2014 documentary An Open Secret and the 2024 docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which detailed his abuse of Drake Bell and highlighted the 41 letters of support from industry figures during his trial, including actors like James Marsden and Rider Strong.

His ability to work post-conviction raised questions about industry oversight, leaving a complex legacy tied to both his contributions to children’s television and his criminal actions.
