This man's career was halted because of a stunt job, this is so terrible tbh. I'm glad that his story will get the recognition that he deserves.

I wonder how much Radcliffe had to keep his mouth shut because he was a child on set. I remember him saying "What in the world is that okay?" stuff back in 2016 but then again, he's been consistently vocal about good stuff since then.

Apparently Chris Columbus (movies 1 and 2) was very much on it with the kids, because he knew what had happened with Macaulay Culkin. He openly told them to speak up and be vocal. The studio at one point tried to silence both him and the kids and their families, and CC threatened them.

That’s good to hear that he watched out for them. Makes me think of Winona and how she supposedly looked out for the Stranger Things kids. Which also reminds me how I recently read a quote from Finn Wolfhard who said Winona will randomly text him then ghost him for a long period then text him again like the previous conversation never happened 😂

That's awesome tbh. Someone HAS TO look out for those kids. Sometimes, even the parents don't.
