Brock Pierce

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brock Pierce (born November 14, 1980 in Minnesota), is an American actor best known for playing the title role in the Disney's First Kid (1996). Pierce's first major acting role was playing a young Emilio Estevez in The Mighty Ducks. Pierce retired from acting in favor of producing, producing a show for gay teenagers called Chad's World [1]. Pierce has hinted at his own bisexuality in an interview with Oasis Magazine, an online homosexual interest magazine: "I'm not, at the moment, seeing anyone, so whether it's a girl or a guy... I don't want to eliminate myself from seeing anyone, because I like all people." [2] [3]

After the collapse of the Digital Entertainment Network dot-com, Pierce fled the U.S. with co-founders Marc Collins-Rector and Chad Schackley after a number of former underaged DEN employees accused the three of sexual abuse, drugging them and making violent threats; the New York Post dubbed them "dot-com perverts." [4] [5] [6] The three were arrested by Spanish police before being returned to the U.S. to face charges of transporting a minor across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts. Only Collins-Rector was charged. [7]

Pierce is now a major shareholder in IGE, a well-known MMORPG gold-selling company.
