may have taken his own life...Joe Pichler gone? Funny thing is, it's been almost a week (Jan 10) and just now hitting the news...who cares if he got his big break in "The Fan" (1996) or that he was in 2 Beethoven movies or Shiloh 2: Shiloh Season...or that he had just last year graduated high school... Oh, wait, possible former child kills self, that's a headline, another kid actor...AP sure jumped then along with every other news source...if it bleeds, it leads... It's just amazing how it went from a few minor mentions to 103 hits in a matter of hours...went from missing, to feared dead in a matter of hours...and went from "poems and a suicidal type note" was found in the car to a "suicide note"...all this and only 18 years old... Christmas, 2005

yea i read on the net, that this was the kid from the 3rd and 4th Beethoven movies. I was thinking bout the kid from the original two.
I dont recognise him, but he did have a long list of tv and movie credits, so he has been in a few movies. HAvent seen The Fan tho.
So is he confirmed missing or what? I hope he will turn up safe and sound soon! My thoughts go out to his family

My thoughts go out to his family Well, they found his car near a "river" and a note, some poems, etc...sooo...I am hoping he just walked away...surprised I haven't seen anything on Paul Petersen's webpage...he usually has something when child actor news hits the wire...was also surprised to see Billy E. Hughes, Jr. died...I liked him in My Six Loves...

i dont know who Billy E Hughes Jr is either...
Ok, this is kinda off topic, but when I was growing up, i used to love watching "Small Wonder" - that show bout the girl robot!
Does anyone know what happened to the robot girl, the annoying red head and the chunky boy. Coz they dont seem to have done anything of note since then!
So no news on Pichler?

He's the one on the left...from My Six Loves (1963) Ok, this is kinda off topic, but when I was growing up, i used to love watching "Small Wonder" - that show bout the girl robot! Does anyone know what happened to the robot girl, the annoying red head and the chunky boy. Coz they dont seem to have done anything of note since then! So no news on Pichler? Not much out there that is current, but as of 2000 Tiffany Brissette was doing missionary work...

Im such the optimistic Well, one wouldn't think so if he's working in a mini-mart...but then again, you can't have the plum roles all that time...there's three "familiar faces" working at two deli's not far from me...

Why is it depressing...between projects, after you've blown your last two gigs, sometimes you have to wait tables...now if you are an established "star" and you have to wait tables, while your Rolls sits in the parking lot, that's depressing...

thats why i feel bad for people like rocky. I hope hes doing well....its just such a tough life i can imagine. Always hoping for that BIG break! I guess its more luck and people-you-know more than anything!
Thats why i could never do what they do...im a fixed paycheck sorta person. I couldnt do my own business, act, stuff like that. But i admire the people who hav the balls to do it!

Joe Pilcher was in the 3rd and 4th films. He was in the film THE FAN, but he was not the main young boy in the film. He has a cameo in the film, basically.
Joe's mom had just moved away from Los Angeles with Joe and his brother.
It was totally out of character for him to disappear, according to his friends.
His family and friends are hoping that he comes home.
