Shaun Weiss, beloved for his roles in Mighty Ducks and Heavyweights, captured hearts as a 1990s child star. However, his struggles with addiction made headlines in 2020 when he was arrested for burglary in California. A viral mugshot showed the toll addiction had taken on him, shocking fans who remembered his youthful charm.
Following the arrest, Weiss entered rehab at Quest 2 Recovery and began a remarkable journey of transformation. Now three years sober, he works at the same rehab center as a coach, helping others overcome addiction. Weiss describes his recovery as his proudest achievement, stating, “This recovery thing is really my proudest accomplishment.”
Weiss candidly reflects on his past, acknowledging the difficulties of addiction and the isolation it brings. He now shares his story to inspire others, using humor and creativity to connect with those in similar battles.
As January approaches, Weiss looks forward to marking four years of sobriety—a testament to resilience and the power of second chances.
