Growing Pains Star Missing!
Actor Andrew Koenig, known for playing Boner on Growing Pains, has been missing in Vancouver for over a week.
He was last seen on Valentine's Day and missed his flight out of Canadialand two days later. He was working as a camera operator for the comedy podcast, Never Not Funny.
His father is Walter Koenig, best known for playing Chekov in Star Trek, who claims he received a note from Andrew on the 16th.
"He sounded despondent," said Walter. "Nobody has seen this [note] but my wife and I."
They believe the his disappearance may have something to do with his longtime struggle with depression.
"I think it's something that has been a part of his makeup for a long time. There's no single trauma. There's no episode. There's nothing of that nature," continued Walter. "He went to visit some friends in Toronto and after there, he went to Vancouver. It's a place where he felt very comfortable. He lived there for a few years."
Andrew was staying with his friend, burlesque artist Jenny Magenta, who enlisted her Facebook to help find the actor on Friday. Other celebrities who took to their social networks to find Koenig were Sarah Silverman, Alyssa Milano and Joel McHale.
It's also been reported that when Andrew was contacted for work in the last two weeks, he turned it down because he was "not going to work anymore."
If anyone sees him, please contact Det. Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.
Sad. Sad.

I'm disappointed that you're only posting this now. It's been all over the news for days.

That evil Mike Seaver has dragged him off to some whacked out religious cult.

I honestly don't think this is going to end well. Just looking into his eyes, You can see that he was in a serious state of depression.
He probably threatened to go public with some story on something like he and Kirk Cameron sleeping together during the show and Kirk had his Christian armies drag him out to the cult compound.
I really liked him on Growing Pains and he always seemed like a really nice guy. I just hope wherever he is that he is safe.
It does seem sad, but is sounds like there were a ton of obvious tells before he disappeared. The note, his whole "not going to work anymore" diatribe, something sounded fishy to begin with.
omg-he was so funny Wasn't he the host on that funny show on the E Channel that Joel McHale hosts now? Love him.
Depression is the worst. Your body just aches and you want to die. I've felt it. I hopes God puts someone in his path to save him. I pray its not too late.
Truely sad.
hopefully this dirtbag flushed himself down a toilet somewhere. natural selection at work…
i didn't know his dad was Scotty.
meh, i was called Boner i'd probably be depressed too.
i WISH PEREZ'S FAT ASS WOULD GO MISSING!! HA!
Vancouver would be a good place to lay low, but I hope he doesn't do anything rash and just floats for a while, and lets his Dad know what's up. Walter is too old to carry the weight of that kind of worry. You can change things, and you can change how you feel, with experienced help.
don't hide boner
SO THE BEST THING HE EVER DID IN HIS LIFE WAS PLAY A CHARACTER NAMED BONER? NO WONDER THE PHUCKER IS DEPRESSED

yeah, this isn't going to end well, I think he prolly went off somewhere and offed himself……..
