From the age of seven, Shaun Weiss was a hard-working character actor. He guested on ’80s sitcoms like Webster, Empty Nest, and Charles in Charge, then landed a role in one of the most beloved kids movie franchises of the ’90s (and probably all time). He portrayed food-loving hockey goalie Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Ducks and its two sequels, D2: The Mighty Ducks, and D3: The Mighty Ducks. Weiss went on to work sporadically, landing a series of small roles in movies and TV shows, and his last on-screen credit was for a 2016 short film. But Weiss has stayed in the public eye in recent years; unfortunately, it’s for running afoul of law enforcement.
In 2017, he was arrested and jailed after allegedly stealing $151 worth of merchandise from an electronics store (per TMZ). Less than a week after that, police in Burbank, Calif. picked up a wandering, stumbling Weiss and charged him with meth possession. Then, according to Fox40, late one night in August 2018, police in Oroville, Calif. arrested Weiss “on suspicion of being under the influence of drugs.” The same outlet reported in January 2020 that Marysville, Calif. police picked up the actor after he allegedly used a hammer to break a window and gain entry into a garage. He was “booked him into the Yuba County Jail on suspicion of residential burglary and being under the influence of a controlled substance. He failed to post the bail, and as of a late February update to a GoFundMe account set up in support of the troubled star, he is awaiting a request to the court to be transferred to a rehab facility in Texas.
