His first role was in the 1984 hit Firstborn, in which he played a young child caught up in a family war.
He then appeared in the 1985 television movie A Time to Live.
In recent years, he appeared in the American A&E reality TV show "The Two Coreys" with his friend Corey Feldman.
It was cancelled in 2008 after two seasons.
