Fan Fallout After Doc Reveals Stars Wrote Support Letters For Nickelodeon Sexual Abuser

James Marsden, Taran Killam, Rider Strong and other actors are receiving fallout on Instagram after it was revealed that they wrote letters of support for Brian Peck, a voice coach for Nickelodeon, who was found guilty of child sexual abuse in 2004.

“As someone who has always enjoyed your work, I feel incredibly disgusted and disappointed at your support for a child abuser,” one comment on Marsden’s latest Instagram post reads.

In the Investigation Discovery docuseries “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” which premiered this month, actor Drake Bell said Peck sexually abused him while Bell was a minor.

Peck was arrested and charged with 11 counts of child sexual abuse in 2003 and then served 16 months in prison and was registered as a sex offender, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Court documents for the case were unsealed for the documentary, including 41 letters of support for Peck written to the judge to influence the judge during sentencing.

Marsden, Killam, Strong, Will Friedle and Alan Thicke were just some of the people who wrote letters of support for Peck. Marsden wrote in his letter of support that he had known Peck since the actor was a teenager.

“I assure you, what Brian has been through in the last year is the suffering of a hundred men,” Marsden wrote in his letter of support, according to the documentary.

Killam wrote in his letter of support: “I’ve seen the effects this situation has had on Brian and I know for a fact he regrets any mistakes made.”

According to the documentary, it’s unclear what the people knew about the abuse before they wrote the letters of support.

Representatives for Marsden, Killam, Strong and Friedle didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
