American actor Corey Scott Feldman gained notoriety as a young performer in the 1980s for his parts in popular films like “Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter” (1984), “Gremlins” (1984), “The Goonies” (1985), and “Stand by Me” (1986).
During this time, he worked with Corey Haim to form the band “The Two Coreys,” and they appeared in films like “The Lost Boys” (1987), “License to Drive” (1988), and “Dream a Little Dream” (1989).
As Feldman neared adulthood, his prominence in the film industry waned, in part due to highly publicized personal confrontations with Haim, who struggled with substance abuse, and with Michael Jackson, who had become friends with Feldman during his teenage years of success.
In the entertainment industry, Feldman has openly spoken about his personal experience as a survivor of child and adolescent sex abuse.
Feldman started his career at the tender age of three by taking part in a McDonald’s advertisement. During his formative years, he appeared in more than 100 television advertisements and 50 television shows, including “The Bad News Bears,” “Mork & Mindy,” “Eight Is Enough,” “One Day at a Time,” “Madame’s Place,” and “Cheers.”
He has appeared in films like “Time After Time” and Disney’s “The Fox and the Hound.” In 1981, he had an appearance in “How to Eat Like a Child,” an NBC musical comedy children’s special, starring future child stars Billy Jayne and Georg Olden.
