Brian Richard Peck (born July 29, 1960) is an American convicted sex offender and former actor, dialogue coach, director, and producer. He was arrested in 2003 for child sexual abuse and was sentenced to 16 months of prison the following year.
As an actor, Peck is best known for his role as Scuz in The Return of the Living Dead[3][4][5] as well as Pickle Boy on All That,[6] the latter of which employed him as a dialogue coach.[7] Peck also appeared on Boy Meets World,[8] Growing Pains[9] and The Amanda Show. He also directed comedy horror anthology film The Willies (1990).[10] He was a body double for Kirk Cameron on Growing Pains.[9][11]
After his release from prison, he was hired to work on the Disney Channel teen sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. He did voiceover work for three episodes but was later fired after Disney Channel executives learned of his conviction, and his voice lines and on-screen credits were replaced; he was never on set nor interacted with the show's cast or crew.[12][13][14]
Peck was arrested on August 19, 2003, for lewd conduct with a minor, charged with 11 counts.[15] In March 2024, on the Investigation Discovery documentary series Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, whom Peck worked with on The Amanda Show, was revealed to be his victim.[a] In 2004, Peck was convicted of two counts and sentenced to serve 16 months in prison. He registered as a sex offender.[13][14] Peck's arrest and conviction was also featured in the 2014 documentary An Open Secret.[17][18]
Over 40 friends and family of Peck wrote letters to the presiding judge in support of him, including actors James Marsden, Kimmy Robertson, Taran Killam, Alan Thicke, Joanna Kerns, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle along with director Rich Correll and producer Tom DeSanto.[19][20][21] Upon hearing more details about the case, some have expressed regret in showing support, including Kerns, Strong, Friedle and DeSanto.[20][21][22]
Peck is openly gay.[12][23][24] He lives in Los Angeles, California as of 2024 and has not worked in the entertainment industry since 2019.[25]
According to Kyle Sullivan, who performed with Peck in the Nickelodeon show All That, Peck was pen pals with serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Sullivan, who was 14 years old during a visit to Peck's residence, recounted that he and other guests were shown large amounts of written correspondence between Peck and Gacy. Gacy, who developed a painting hobby while on death row, was said by Sullivan to have sent Peck an autographed painting of a clown, which Peck framed in his house.[26]
