In a recent episode of the Good Guys podcast, Drake Bell opened up about the trauma he endured while working alongside convicted sex offender Brian Peck on the set of Nickelodeon's Drake & Josh. Bell recalled that the worst part of returning to filming was knowing Peck was present, referring to him as 'the monster in your safe place.' His co-star, Josh Peck, shared his initial feelings of concern when Brian Peck was absent from the set and expressed relief upon learning of his arrest. Both actors discussed the impact of their experiences in the context of the 2024 docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, which sheds light on abuse and misconduct within the industry. Josh Peck admitted it took watching the documentary to fully grasp the depth of Bell's trauma, realizing it was more complex than just Peck's conviction. Their conversation highlights the ongoing challenges faced by child actors navigating their careers amid such disturbing realities.
