During the Investigation docuseries Discovery, formerly All that cast member Kyle Sullivan recalled Peck’s friendly demeanor, saying, “Everybody loved Brian. He was charming and clever. He was around all the time. All the parents loved him too. Everyone trusted Brian.”
Sullivan, 36, however, recalling a worrying event when he and other Nickelodeon child stars were invited alongside their parents to Peck’s house for a party. According to Sullivan, Peck, now 64, had a photo of Gacy on display for all to see.
“It was a birthday clown holding balloons. Brian was very excited and on the back he said, ‘To Brian, I hope you enjoy the painting. Best wishes, your friend John Wayne Gacy,’” Sullivan claimed. “I was 14 so I didn’t know the details but I knew this man was a serial killer.”
Drake Bell spoke about being sexually assaulted by Nickelodeon’s Brian Peck for the first time in the new docuseries, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. During the third part of the Discovery special, which will be broadcast on Monday, March 18, Bell, 37, identified himself as the child star who reported (…)
Sullivan claimed Peck’s connection to Gacy he went beyond the present.
“All the parents and children come into the room and he presents the painting again. Brian actually developed a pen pal relationship with John,” he recalled. “He kept this pile of letters and pictures from John Wayne Gacy in his night stand next to his bed. He pulls them out and starts showing them.”
Gacy was a serial killer and sex offender who raped, tortured and murdered dozens of young men and boys. He was sentenced to death after being found guilty of 32 murders and die by lethal injection in 1994.
Sullivan explained why think the red flag he was not given more attention at the time, adding in the document in March 2024, “Your instinct is to give the benefit of the doubt. Even in the face of this very bad sign, it was one of the classic failures of group psychology.”

Bike was then arrested in August 2003 for sexually abusing a child star who was not named at the time. The 11 charges brought against Peck included oral copulation, sodomy and forced penetration. He pleaded no contest to two counts of child sexual abuse and was sentenced to 16 months in prison and had to register as a sex offender.
In the third installment of Quiet on Set, Bell, 38, broke his silence for being a victim of Peck’s abuse.
“I really don’t know how to elaborate on that on camera. … Why don’t you think about the worst things that someone can do to someone like sexual assault and that will answer your question,” Bell said at the time. “I don’t know how else to put it. It wasn’t a one-time thing.”
Peck, who is no relation to the Nickelodeon star Josh Peckwithout publicly commenting on the documents or Bell’s claims. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon released a statement to Us Weekly before Quiet on Set for the first time, which read, “Now that Drake Bell has revealed his identity as the plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are disappointed and saddened to hear of the trauma he has suffered, and we applaud and support the strength needed to come forward.”

Not all dueling releases are intentional, but subjects like the Sherri Papini kidnapping case and the famous murder trial of Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez are great examples of multiple (…)
Long since then he expressed his surprise in the success Peck continued to find after serving time.
“He was hanging out on set, working, going to parties and being around Hollywood like nothing happened,” Bell said on the March episode of the The interview with Yordi Rosado show “I remember one time I saw him in a restaurant. He was at a table with 10 or 12 actors. They were all male actors between the ages of 14 and 16. I walked in and saw him and saw that he was right back to what he was doing. Then I turned around and left.”
The actor questioned Peck’s sentencestating, “He was sentenced to 16 months in prison. Only 16 months and I think he only served four months. When he got out, he was a registered sex offender for crimes against a child and went straight back to work.”
