Corey Feldman

Corey Scott Feldman (born July 16, 1971) is an American actor.

Corey Scott Feldman was born on July 16, 1971, in Reseda, California, the son of Bob and Sheila (Goldstein) Feldman, a musician and a cocktail waitress, respectively.

He was raised Jewish.

Feldman has claimed that his parents exploited him for his earning potential as a child actor, and that his mother was abusive.

She has denied his accusations.

Feldman started his career at the age of three, appearing in a McDonald's commercial.

In his youth, he appeared in over 100 television commercials and on 50 television series, including The Bad News Bears, Mork & Mindy, Eight Is Enough, One Day at a Time, Madame's Place, and Cheers.

He was in the films Time After Time and Disney's The Fox and the Hound.

As a youth, he became well known for roles in the 1980s in films such as Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Gremlins (1984), The Goonies (1985), and Stand by Me (1986).

Feldman became known as a teen idol in the 1980s.

During the mid-to-late 1980s, he "was known for being one of the most popular teen pin-ups in the world".

In 1981, he appeared in NBC's musical comedy children's special How to Eat Like a Child alongside other future child stars Billy Jayne and Georg Olden.

In 1982, he portrayed "Little Big" Jim Malloy in the single-episode situation comedy Cass Malloy, which served as the pilot for the later sitcom She's the Sheriff.

He was featured in several consecutive high-grossing movies during this period; those movies included Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984), Gremlins (1984), The Goonies (1985), and Stand By Me (1986) as Teddy Duchamp, the latter alongside River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, and Jerry O'Connell.

Feldman collaborated with Corey Haim starring in numerous films such as the horror film The Lost Boys (1987), the teen comedy License to Drive (1988) and the romantic comedy Dream a Little Dream (1989).

In 1987, Feldman appeared with Corey Haim in The Lost Boys, in which he played Edgar Frog, a role he reprised in two direct-to-video sequels years later, Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) and Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010).

The Lost Boys marked the first onscreen pairing of Feldman and Haim, who became known as "The Two Coreys".

The pair went on to star in a string of films, including License to Drive (1988) and Dream a Little Dream (1989).

Feldman also voiced the character of Donatello in the original live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

After a public battle with drugs (which began shortly after filming concluded for The 'Burbs in 1989), Feldman fought to re-establish his life and career by working with youths, starring in several lesser-known films, and branching out with an album titled Love Left.

He returned to the big screen with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, once again providing the voice of Donatello, and starred in the Richard Donner/Robert Zemeckis/Joel Silver film Tales From The Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood opposite Dennis Miller and Angie Everhart.

In the late 1990s, Feldman starred in the CBS series Dweebs.

Feldman has released six albums including Love Left (1992), Former Child Actor (2002), and Angelic 2 the Core (2016).

In 1995, Feldman starred with Haim in their last mainstream film together, Dream a Little Dream 2.

In 1996, Feldman appeared alongside his former Stand By Me co-star Jerry O'Connell in "Electric Twister Acid Test", an episode of the Fox Network series Sliders.

In 1999, he appeared as Officer Corey Feldman in the music video for the New Found Glory single "Hit or Miss".

In the same year, he made an appearance in the television series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven.

In 2003, he appeared in the celebrity-driven reality series The Surreal Life on The WB.

He also made a cameo appearance in the film Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star starring David Spade.

He appeared in the theatrical release My Date with Drew and was the voice of "Sprx-77" in the Toon Disney/ABC Family series Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!.

In 2005, Feldman starred as Michael Douglas in the Off-Broadway play, Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy, a parody of the 1987 film Fatal Attraction.

They reunited for the A&E reality series The Two Coreys, which ran from 2007 to 2008.

Feldman experienced diminishing success in the film industry as an adult, amid well-publicized personal conflicts with Haim over Haim's substance abuse and with Michael Jackson, who had befriended him during his time as a teen celebrity.

While he has been outspoken about sexual abuse in the entertainment industry he has also faced public scrutiny over Corey's Angels and has been accused of sexual misconduct.

In 2007, Feldman and Haim began a reality television series titled The Two Coreys on the A&E Network.

In January 2008, they started production on the second series of The Two Coreys.

He was also executive producer for both seasons.

In January 2012, Feldman joined the British television series Dancing on Ice with American pair skater Brooke Castile.

On October 28, 2013, Feldman released his first memoir, Coreyography.

The book details his early life as a child actor all the way up to the death of Corey Haim.
