the story, though, was the kid was making 350,000 per episode and claimed the series promoted everything wrong with the world and his christian beliefs would not allow him to continue on the show. I never watched an entire episode of the show, but the kid was on for a few minutes per episode for 350K? Bet his church would have suggested to continue doing it and give them the money. He was not written off the show, he turned down the new contract.
He is in college in Colorado now, and is only planning to take roles in biblical type roles.
To the first post - Last I checked, he continued doing the show after he said all that bad stuff about it, but in a very limited role where he was at military school.
To the second post - brass set or not, I was just laughing at how he looked lol.
