Remember cute Andy Keaton on the 80's-era sitcom
Family Ties?
According to police,
the actor who played him, Brian Bonsall, now 25, was arrested in
Colorado last week on suspicion of domestic violence after allegedly
roughing up his live-in girlfriend. Police say Bonsall "poured an
alcoholic beverage on her while she was sleeping and, when she tried to
leave their apartment, he put her in a chokehold and threw her down on
the bed multiple times."
Having been unable to make the succession from child star to working
actor, Bonsall now spends much of his time playing in a punk band
called Thruster -- and yes, they do have a
MySpace page.
Bonsall describes his occupation as "alcoholic," names The Goonies and
Seinfeld as favorites and shows off a pair of his tattoos that read
"Guns" and "Ammo."
Man, what would brother Alex say about all this?
