What happened to the drummer of ‘How to Rock’?
The transition from child star to crime news is an entertainment classic, but this one takes a quick turn. Chris O’Neal, the actor many of us remember as Kevin Reed in the Nickelodeon series How to Rock, spent a night behind bars.
It all started with a call to the Los Angeles police on Monday. The owner of a home in Malibu reported that three men had entered his property. The key: security cameras.
“Apparently, the thieves entered the house from the back and manipulated the cameras,” TMZ reported.
O’Neal was arrested and taken to the county jail. But here comes the plot twist. The next day, Tuesday, they released him.
“There were no sufficient grounds to file a complaint against that person,” a source told TMZ.
Without concrete evidence, the story deflated faster than a series canceled after one season. Speaking of which…
From Gravity 4 to legal problems
Chris, now 31 years old (we’re contemporaries!), was Gravity 4’s drummer on How to Rock. The series did not last long, but the channel continued to have him.
He co-presented You Gotta See This and even starred in the film Swindle alongside Ariana Grande, when they were both promising young people. What times.
Now his name is back in the headlines, but for very different reasons than playing drums for a fictional band on TV. The moral: Even when you think you’ve left your Nickelodeon days behind, the past always finds curious ways to come back.
