Shaun Weiss was one of the most recognisable young actors of the 1990s, but during the past few years, he has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. He is best known for his roles in Mighty Ducks and Heavyweight.
After a protracted struggle with drug addiction, Weiss was detained in California in 2020 on burglary charges.
The subsequent mugshot of Weiss went popular on social media for showing how he had changed from a lovely child to an emaciated felon.Weiss, who was 41 at the time, was reportedly found in a car that was parked in a homeowner’s garage. He was apprehended by police after allegedly breaking the passenger window to gain entry.
However, Weiss is back in the news after receiving treatment at a rehab facility called Quest 2 Recovery, and this time he’s boldly displaying how his life has changed.According to the former child star, he has been sober for just over three years.I’ll just let you know, when they take your mug shot, they’re not using any Instagram filters down at the station,” he told NewsNation of his previous arrest.
He added: “Being able to look at the trauma, I went through the lens of trying to be creative, and to do comedy has just been a game changer. And people find my story inspiring so I just kind of tell my story, and I try to do that — in a funny way, though. It’s fulfilling for me.
