James Marsden and Taran Killam were some of the celebrities who wrote letters of support after Brian Peck was accused of sexually abusing Drake Bell
Investigation Discovery's docuseries on Nickelodeon unsealed the letters of support dialogue coach Brian Peck received after being arrested for sexually abusing actor Drake Bell in 2003.
Peck was arrested after an unnamed child star accused him of sexual abuse. The 11 charges brought against Peck included oral copulation, sodomy and forcible penetration. He pleaded no contest to two charges of child sexual abuse and was sentenced to 16 months in prison in 2004. He is now a registered sex offender.
The docuseries didn't specify which celebrities publicly showed their support for Peck in court. However, James Marsden, Taran Killam, Alan Thicke and Ron Melendez were some of the stars to contribute the 41 letters of support, which Peck provided to the judge. It’s noted that neither Schneider, 58, nor top executives at Nickelodeon wrote any letters.
Robertson addressed whether they were concerned about the public response from people who wrote the letters, concluding, “The letters have been entered into the public record, they're available.” Marsden referred to Peck as a 'mentor' to him, adding, 'I don't mean to dramatize this but I am speaking wholeheartedly about a man who's heart is pure and no matter what you're talking about, his intentions are always good. He has such an amazing capacity to care about people. This, I find, is very rare. Especially in Hollywood. Brian genuinely cares about other human beings.
Killam concluded: There has yet to be a set that I work on, where someone doesn't know Brian, and also doesn't think the world of him. He honestly is one of the most well liked, well-respected people in this business.'Following their time working together on X-Men, DeSanto had nothing but praise for Peck.
