American television and film actor Corey Scott Feldman was born on July 16, 1971 in Chatsworth, California. The son of a rock producer and a cocktail waitress, he was given a Jewish upbringing in a family that included two brothers and two sisters. His sister Mindy began performing at the age of six, being the youngest member of the Mickey Mouse Club during the 70s. He himself began acting at the age of three, appearing in a commercial for McDonald’s. He later went on to perform in numerous films such as Time After Time, The Fox and the Hound, Gremlins, The Goonies, and Stand By Me.
Feldman is well-known for his partnership with fellow actor Corey Haim, with the two of them being paired in a string of films during the 80s that were targeted at teen audiences. Among these were The Lost Boys, License to Drive, and Dream a Little Dream. Both actors became known together as “The Two Coreys” or “The Coreys” for their joint work. Feldman also had a brief but public battle with drug addiction, before re-emerging clean and continuing to pursue his acting career. He has also released a number of musical albums. Together with his wife Susie and with Haim, he is set to produce and co-star in an upcoming reality series about the three of them living together, also titled The Two Coreys.
