Welcome to Part 2 of TV Fanatic's exclusive feature interview with former child actor Scott Schwartz regarding first-hand knowledge of Corey Feldman's "friendship" with Corey Haim, the alleged "Hollywood industry pedophilia ring," Charlie Sheen, and much more.

If you haven't read Part 1 yet, catch up here.

Just to note, we have received a response from Corey Feldman and have an exclusive quote to present, which will come at the end of this series of interviews.

We also have inquired with Mr. Feldman about possibly granting a follow-up interview. More information on that, as it comes.

Regarding Scott Schwartz and Feldman's allegations against Charlie Sheen that we explored in Part 1: Scott has been close with Corey Haim's mother, Judy, for several decades -- ever since he and Haim met on set and became good friends.

Schwartz is sure "if something would have happened between Haim and Sheen, [Corey Haim] would have told his mother.

Former child actor, Scott Schwartz, played the kid who got his tongue stuck against the flagpole in A Christmas Story (1983). Before that, he starred with Richard Prior in The Toy (1982).

He comes to us now with much frustration over the way one Corey Feldman has marred the memory of his close friend Corey Haim (1971-2010), another former child actor who starred with Feldman in many projects.

This is the first of a series of articles documenting our conversation in which Schwartz wants to be very clear about his first-hand knowledge that the two Coreys were not friends in real life.

Feldman is currently promoting his new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, in which he claims to name names of those involved in a Hollywood industry pedophilia ring.

Schwartz takes issue with how Haim is reflected in the film -- as well as in the press -- by Feldman,...

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim remain linked over a decade after Haim’s death in 2010.

In Feldman’s new documentary (My) Truth: The Rape of Two Coreys, which premiered in Los Angeles on Monday, the actor, 48, alleges that his friend told him that Charlie Sheen raped Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas. At the time Sheen was 19 and Haim was 13.

According to Entertainment Weekly, several others featured in the documentary claimed that Haim had also told them of the alleged sexual abuse, including Feldman’s ex-wife Susannah Sprague, with whom he shares son Zen, 15.

“These sick, twisted and outlandish allegations never occurred.

Fifteen minutes into Monday night’s premiere of Corey Feldman’s long-awaited documentary, (My) Truth: The Rape of 2 Coreys, the 48-year-old former child actor suddenly came sprinting down the aisle of the theater where the screening was being held. Flanked by four security guards, Feldman asked for the house lights to be turned on, and grabbed a microphone to address the crowd. There was a problem.

The documentary was supposed to have been made available for worldwide streaming at the same time as its Hollywood premiere, but Feldman had received...

Corey Feldman has seen and done it all. A former child star who appeared in more than 100 commercials, Feldman got his big break when he was cast in the mid-1980s hits Stand by Me and Goonies, then became a tabloid staple due to his hard-partying ways and close friendship with fellow child actor Corey Haim. After a few stints on reality television, such as the ill-fated 2007 venture with Haim, The Two Coreys, Feldman has positioned himself as an advocate for child stars past and present, speaking openly about his...

Something you should know about me for this month’s installment of Catalog From the Beyond is that as a kid, I was a huge fan of The Two Coreys. I could not get enough from Coreys Feldman or Haim, and of course much of this love springs from The Lost Boys, a pivotal movie in many of our collective horror educations. But I loved anything the Coreys put out, either together or on their own. And while everyone knows about Feldman’s hot streak of ’80s staples, I don’t think Haim gets nearly enough credit for his own contributions. He brought an earnest charm in early work like Silver Bullet and Lucas that later gave way to a mischievous streak in movies such as License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. We get a dash of both personas in this month’s featured flick, the 1988 monster movie Watchers.

Corey Haim‘s mother has named the man she alleges sexually abused her late son.

During an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show on Friday, Judy Haim addressed a recent National Enquirer report in which former actor Dominick Brascia, who was close with Haim, alleged that a 19-year-old Charlie Sheen sexually assaulted a 13-year-old Haim on set of the 1986 film Lucas.

A spokesperson for Sheen previously told People the actor “absolutely denies the claim,” and on Friday, Judy alleged that it wasn’t Sheen who sexually abused her son, but rather Brascia himself.

“This guy Dominick is the guy that abused my son,...

Corey Feldman has a lot to be thankful for on his 45th birthday.

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a heavily tinseled tree, a tipple before midday and Gremlins on the telly at some point during the day.

The Joe Dante-directed black cult comedy sees protagonist Billy Peltzer being gifted with Gizmo, a cute furry Mogwai discovered by his inventor father in a mysterious Chinatown antique store.

Of course the creature comes with three special instructions which, if not adhered to, result in the spawning of grizzly Gremlins hell-bent on havoc.

Any child of the of the ’80s remembers The Goonies, the now-iconic adventure about a group of kids seeking out buried treasure. One of the film’s breakout stars was Corey Feldman, who would go on to star in other insta-classics, such as The ‘Burbs, The Lost Boys and Stand By Me. As his star grew so did his notoriety. He dabbled in music (remember Former Child Actor?) and television, which included scripted (The Bad News Bears and later Married… With Children) and reality (The Two Coreys and VH1′s very own Surreal Life).

Now the actor is revealing it all in his new biography, Coreyography: A Memoir

. Join VH1 as we talk to him about the ups, the downs, the crazy and the memorable on Thursday, November 7th, at 2 p.m. Est.

Corey Feldman is best known as the adorable childhood star from ‘The Lost Boys’ and ‘The Goonies,’ but in a new book he reveals that what appeared to be a carefree life, was actually a scary and abusive childhood. He even says that his safest moments were those with his close friend, Michael Jackson.

Corey Feldman‘s new memoir, Coreyography, exposes the horrors of his tortured childhood in Hollywood. Now 42, the famed actor writes that he met The Lost Boys costar, then 14-year-old, Corey Haim and they both realized they had a deeply damaging history with abusive older men.

Corey Feldman Reveals Abusive Childhood

In his new book, he says that both Coreys had become convinced that it was normal for older men and younger boys to have sexual relations and that it was “what all the guys do,” according to excerpts printed in the New York Post on Oct.

With the reports that he recently completed a stint in rehab for cocaine, Zac Efron’s getting more buzz (oops) than any of his recent movie roles. That’s not to suggest he fell into a dangerous drug habit on purpose, mind you. But we have noticed cocaine has played a role in the lives of quite a few actors who got an early start in Hollywood — and it wasn’t necessarily to their benefit. If the rumors of the High School Musical star (whose upcoming movies include Parkland and Neighbors) trashing hotel rooms and missing shoots are true, we’re pretty glad he got help. Here are some other former teen/child stars whose cocaine use got in the way of us taking their adult careers seriously:

Sitting with Nightline for an interview that aired earlier this week, Corey Feldman made some heartbreaking allegations about pedophilia being the No. 1 problem facing child actors in Hollywood, including claiming its impact on his late friend Corey Haim’s addictions. “There’s one person to blame in the death of Corey Haim. And that person happens to be a Hollywood mogul. And that person needs to be exposed, but unfortunately, I can’t be the one to do it,” Feldman said. Watch his interview below.

He said pedophilia was and always will be Hollywood’s “big secret,” and that, “I...

When the Academy forgot (or intentionally excluded) Corey Haim in the Oscars' "In Memoriam" reel, we at NextMovie were appalled. The guy was Sam in "The Lost Boys!"

As a boy, Haim stole the spotlight in movies like "Lost Boys," "Lucas" and "Watchers." As a man, he battled drug addiction until his death about a year ago. And now, to be snubbed posthumously is a sad coda to those rough final years.

Thankfully, the good hearts at Moviefone took on the responsibility -- Academy be damned. Below is a package they created that gives Haim the tribute he deserves.

Included are snippets from the actor's beloved films, along with some narration by Corey Feldman, Haim's co-star/hetero lifemate. The two also had a short-lived reality television show, "The Two Coreys."

Cheers to Moviefone. Let's pour one out for Mr. Haim.

Chicago – Corey Feldman is a survivor, both of his own child acting era and the aftermath of growing up. Best known for a string of 1980s cult favorites, including “Stand by Me” and “The Goonies,” he also partnered with Corey Haim, to forever be known as The Two Coreys. Feldman was in Chicago in January to introduce his films at The Hollywood Palms Theater (Naperville, Illinois) and Hollywood Blvd Theater (Woodridge).

Corey Feldman was born in Los Angeles in 1971, and began his acting career at the age of three in a McDonald’s commercial. After appearances in over 100 commercials and 50 TV guest roles, he broke out in the 1980s and starred in 15 number one box office champs in a row. These films included “Gremlins” (1984), “The Goonies” (1985), “Stand by Me” (1986) and “The Lost Boys” (1987). It was in The Lost Boys that Feldman was first paired with Corey Haim, and the two...

This is the side of Corey Haim the public didn't know.

The late actor -- he passed away in March 2010 -- was known as much for his persistent drug addiction as his gigantic teenage stardom in the 80's. He made very public his issues in his reality series "The Two Coreys" (filmed with friend Corey Feldman), and when he ended up dying of pneumonia, outside speculation about drugs causing his death sprung up, especially given an order for prescription pills he had placed shortly before passing.

Haim's mother, Judy Haim, appeared on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday to clear up those allegations and remember the son that no one else knew.

After recalling a story about Corey feeling sick during a game of frisbee and running a fever for the entire day before his death, Judy said:

Believe it or not, "Beverly Hills, 90210" fans, but your prayers have been answered — Jason Priestley and Luke Perry are reuniting for an all-new project.

The erstwhile Brandon Walsh and Dylan McKay are collaborating on "Goodnight For Justice," a Hallmark Movie Channel film produced by Perry and directed by Priestley. Deadline reports that "Goodnight" is a Western starring Perry as John Goodnight, a circuit judge seeking vengeance on the man who killed his family. It's unclear at this time whether or not Priestley will appear in front of the camera, but the very idea of these former "Beverly Hills" rivals turned pals getting back together is pretty excellent nonetheless.

It's so excellent, in fact, that we're left wondering about some other possible ways that Priestley and Perry could team up in the future. After the jump, check out our ideas.

When Corey Haim died, the news shocked fans and pop-culture followers alike. Now, nearly two months later, the results of an autopsy are finally providing answers about what killed the '80s icon.

According to a coroner's report released Tuesday (May 4), the "License to Drive" star died of natural causes from a combination of pneumonia and respiratory and heart trouble.

According to a Ktla report, state Attorney General Jerry Brown told the TV station that the troubled actor illegally obtained more than 550 prescription pills in the months leading up to his death. Brown said Haim had secured such pills as Valium and Soma through seven different doctors who were reportedly "duped." The report from Craig R. Harvey, Los Angeles chief coroner investigator & chief of operations,...

Corey Haim was a huge name with cult film fans and a talent that left us to early. His life was troubled and people seem to have thrown him away as a joke and a punchline in his later years but regardless Corey Haim had immense talent and had many faces in Hollywood as an actor many of which were very memorable. This is a look at just a few of his key roles as an actor and the Many Faces of Corey Haim may he Rip!

"This was about his decision to clean himself up."   Haim had been hoping to one day go on the road with musician Gerard "G Tom Mac" McMahon, an old pal of his who worked on some of the music for The Lost...

Hundreds of friends and family packed the Thornhill memorial chapel in Toronto on Tuesday (March 16) for the funeral of actor Corey Haim, who died last week at age 38 of yet-undetermined causes.

According to The Toronto Star, more than 200 people attended the ceremony, while more than a dozen fans of "The Lost Boys" star stood quietly on the chapel lawn outside to pay their respects. Maytal Kotler — a second cousin of Haim's longtime friend and acting foil Corey Feldman who also appeared in the pair's reality show, "The Two Coreys" — described the service as "very sad but with a lot of laughter." The service was closed to the public. Among the speakers at the event were...

Corey Haim's longtime pal Corey Feldman will not be attending his funeral. "The Two Coreys" star said that he won't be attending his co-star's funeral in Toronto on Tuesday. Instead, he will remain in L.A. and quietly mourn his death.

Haim's family has arranged a funeral for him in his native Toronto on Tuesday. The funeral was paid in part by celebrity memorabilia website Startifacts, which donated ,000 to his family.

But Feldman, who starred with Haim in numerous films, including the cult classic "The Lost Boys," will not be attending the private ceremony, citing respect to the family's wishes.

He said in a statement, "In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me."...

Don’t you think Corey needs to be at his best friend’s funeral to properly say goodbye?

This is so sad! Although Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were friends for over twenty years, Corey F.won’t be saying his goodbye at his pal’s funeral in Toronto, Canada March 16.

Corey, 38, released the following statement March 15:

“In the days following my best friend Corey Haim’s death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me. I would love nothing more than to be by her side at Corey’s funeral, however, due to their strong religious beliefs and need for privacy, the family has decided to make Corey’s funeral on Tuesday a small private affair. Understanding the recent media attention and to be respectful of the family’s wishes, I have decided not to attend,” he continues in the statement.

The Two Coreys won't be reuniting in Toronto tomorrow. The funeral planned by Corey Haim's family in his hometown will be short Corey Feldman. "In the days following my best friend Corey Haim's death, I have spent much time with his mother Judy, who has always been like a mother to me," the actor explains in a statement.

Tragic actor Corey Haim's ex-girlfriend Nicole Eggert has launched a one-woman crusade to track down the pervert who ruined the "Lost Boys" star's life by molesting him when he was a teenager. The former "Baywatch" babe has revealed she was dating Haim around the time of the sex acts her late ex alluded to in interviews and during a heated discussion with pal Corey Feldman on an episode of their reality TV show "The Two Coreys".

Eggert insists she has no idea what was going on at the time, but now she's sickened by the thought of what was going on behind closed doors in the house where she used to hang out with Haim and Feldman - and she's determined to track down the sick guy who sexually abused her ex, sending him into a tailspin of substance abuse, which eventually claimed his life on Wednesday, March 10.

On Larry King Live, Corey Feldman, Haim’s personal friend and co-star in several films and the reality TV show The Two Coreys (above), slammed both Hollywood and the media for ridiculing former child stars: "I appreciate the fact that everybody really cares and — and is trying to show their expression of — of sorrow right now. But at the end of the day, Larry, where were all these people the last 10 years, the last 15 years of Corey’s life?

Haim died from a suspected overdose at his mother's apartment in Los Angeles.

In a candid interview with U.S. news show Access Hollywood, the actress says, "I know who they're talking about and that guy is still walking around.

"I hope he's having a horrible life... I was there with them, I was friends with them at this time. I have been in the place where this was happening... He just preyed on the boys... It's disgusting.

"I'll kinda do a little research and remember his name and see if he's still around and if he's registered (as a sex offender). That guy is dirt. I walked away and forgot that person a long time ago but, if he is here, he should be stopped."...

In films such as "Blown Away" and "The Double 0 Kid," Nicole Eggert played Corey Haim's leading lady - a role she once held off-screen as well. With the news that Corey died early Wednesday morning, the actress sat down with Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos on Thursday to remember her late friend.

Though the two were close, Nicole told Maria it had been a "year or two" since she'd last seen him.

This is so sad and shocking! Four prescriptions, including Vicodin, Valium, and muscle relaxers, were all found in Corey Haim’s mother’s apartment.

More startling developments in the sudden and tragic death of ’80s icon Corey Haim, 38, have been released. La officials told TMZ that four pill bottles, containing incredibly strong prescription drugs, were allegedly found following Corey’s death on Mar. 10.

The report says generic versions of Vicodin and Valium, as well as the muscle relaxer Soma and an anti-psychotic med Haloperidol, were all found in his mother Judy’s Oakwood, CA apartment. And shockingly, they were all prescribed by the same La psychiatrist just days before the actors death.

Impish, irrepressible Canadian actor whose star reached its zenith with The Lost Boys

If the Artful Dodger had smartened himself up, dyed his hair, worn snazzy jackets with the sleeves rolled up, and sought an alternative career as a Jackie or My Guy cover star, he would have resembled Corey Haim at the peak of his career.

The Canadian actor, who has died unexpectedly aged 38, did not spend more than a few years in the limelight. Yet it was his chirpy, irrepressible personality, as much as the occasional high-profile film role between the mid-1980s and early 90s, that earned him the affectionate regard of mainstream audiences. Out of a meagre selection of movies, many of which went straight to video or DVD, it was the 1987 vampire romp The Lost Boys which earned him his teenybopper fanbase. The lopsided smile, impish eyes and jauntily spiked hair made him perfect pin-up fodder.

Corey Feldman appeared on Larry King Live Wednesday to discuss the passing of Corey Haim. The two points he wanted to address after the jump. 1.) People shouldn't speculate on the cause of death. "Until the coroner's report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows, and nobody is going to know," Feldman said. "We all are aware of the fact that Corey Haim has had a long and detailed drug history and battled addiction for many, many years. I know it better than anybody, because I've been the guy stuffing...

Before Buffy ever picked up her first stake, before Sookie realized she couldn't read Bill's mind, before Bella ... did whatever it is she does  ... there was Sam Emerson, who had to deal with his brother's slow transformation into a vampire. Sam was played, of course, by Corey Haim, who was a teen heartthrob in the '80s alongside fellow Corey, Corey Feldman. (The two even starred in a reality show together a few years back titled, naturally, The Two Coreys.) As with many child stars, the transition to adulthood was difficult to bear, and Corey Haim stopped landing lead roles in films.

Corey Feldman has claimed that it is too early to say whether or not Corey Haim died from an overdose. Feldman, who starred with Haim in The Lost Boys and reality TV show The Two Coreys, urged the public not to jump to conclusions about the death. Speaking on Larry King Live, he said: "They need to stop jumping the gun. They need to stop saying it's a drug overdose. "They need to stop saying, you know, their theories of what they think it is or isn't. Because at the end of the day, until the coroner's report comes out, until we have specific evidence, until we know exactly what the toxicology reports say, nobody knows. And nobody is going to know." Referring to reports that Haim had suffered from "flu-like symptoms" in the days before his death, Feldman added: "I know that he was fighting the good fight. (more...

Since the news broke of Corey Haim's death, many fans and curious onlookers have been interested inthe status of the nearly dozen films he had in some stage of development around Hollywood. But in some ways, the most interesting of them may be a movie he was dismissed from — and the reasons why.

"We cast Corey for the movie 'DaZe,' " producer Miller Uwanawich remembered of the time he was planning to work with Haim in early 2008. "He was all great and wonderful ... [then] he started having all of these wild requests — pills, to keep it bluntly," the producer said.

In case you're wondering, yes — "DaZe" is indeed the same film that fellow recently deceased...

Corey invited her to the Playboy Mansion. Corey...

Former child star Corey Feldman was planning a big screen comeback in a License To Drive sequel with late friend Corey Haim before his death on Wednesday.

Haim, 38, was discovered unresponsive at his mother's California home on Wednesday and was pronounced dead upon arrival at St Joseph's hospital in Burbank.

Feldman and Haim were dubbed 'The Two Coreys' after appearing in a string of movies together in the 1980s, including The Lost Boys, License to Drive, Watchers and Dream A Little Dream.

The pair made a brief appearance together on screen in 2008 sequel Lost Boys: The Tribe, but they haven't headlined a movie together since 1997's Busted. They were most recently seen in U.S. reality TV show The Two Coreys.

And Feldman is devastated at the loss of his pal, because only three weeks ago they were discussing moving in together and resurrecting the TV series and their movie partnership.

Feldman tells U.S. talk show host Larry King, "Just three weeks ago, I sat at his apartment with him and we were talking about my divorce, of all things... And we started talking about, hey, wouldn't this be a great idea to have a third season (of) The Two Coreys? We can have you move back in with me and, you know, and now my wife is out and you're in and this is what everybody wanted to see, was the two of us living together in a house.

"Not only were we negotiating a film to do together, but Corey had a concept to do License to Fly, which would have been a sequel to License to Drive. We actually had a series of meetings this week... Both of us would have been in it. He would have been one of the writers. I would have been one of the producers. And we wanted to do a trilogy, which was all his concept, License to Fly and License to Dive. It was going to be caper movies."

Haim's agent, Mark Heaslip, was also pleased by the upturn in his client's career, after signing him up for movies including The Science of Cool opposite Mischa Barton and The Throwaways alongside pop star-turned-actor Luke Goss.

He adds, "He was starting to get movie after movie. He was actually starting to book up this whole year. And he was excited. He actually had a chance to direct his first film this year."...

From Corey Haim's teenage years as a Hollywood heartthrob to his attempts at a comeback, MTV News has followed the actor's career and sat down for several on-camera interviews with him. After Haim's death Wednesday morning from an apparent drug overdose, we went back into our archives to pull out some compelling moments over the last two decades.

In 1987, fresh off the success of "Lucas," in which he played a painfully awkward teen who decides to join the football team to impress a cheerleader he's fallen for, Haim sat down with MTV to promote the vampire drama "The Lost Boys." In the midst of a wide-ranging discussion alongside co-star Jason Patric, Haim talked about the evolution of his career.

" 'Lucas,' everybody was like, 'Aw, he's so cute.

Corey Feldman talked about his childhood friend and fellow actor Corey Haim on CNN's Larry King Live Wednesday night (March 10). Haim was found dead in his home in Burbank this morning (March 10) and the cause of his death is under investigation. Feldman, 38, famously co-starred with Haim in "The Lost Boys," "License to Drive" and "Dream a Little Dream." He reacted strongly to the death of Haim and called out those who belittle drug-addicted and overweight stars in the tabloids. Recently the two starred in the A&E reality effort, "The Two Coreys" which ended by season three due in part to Haim's addiction issues. Feldman said of his friend's death: "Until the coroner's report comes out...

Corey Haim, arguably the 1980's equivalent of Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, passed away at 38, apparently of a drug overdose, a tragedy that appears to have been accidental, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Though Haim fell on hard times both personally and professionally, Haim and fellow actor Corey Feldman -- collectively referred to as the "Two Coreys" -- once ruled the film world and were teen heartthrobs of the highest order. Haim, who hailed from Canada, arrived on the scene with the drama Firstborn (1984), starring opposite Peter Weller and Teri Garr, gained additional traction with Silver Bullet (1985) and Murphy's Romance (1985), and completely won over audiences with his heartbreaking, utterly natural turn as the lovable loser title character in Lucas (1986), with Charlie Sheen. But it was the handsome young actor's collaborations with Feldman that transformed him into a major star: The Lost Boys (1987), License to Drive (1988), and Dream a Little Dream...

Canadian actor Corey Haim has died in California after allegedly suffering a drug overdose. The 38-year-old star reportedly collapsed at his home in Oakwood in the early hours of Wednesday morning, March 10 and his distraught mother called emergency services. He was taken to St Joseph's hospital in Burbank, where he was pronounced dead.

Sergeant Frank Albarren, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department, tells MSNBC, "It was an apparent overdose. Unknown what type of medication." Haim, who had a long history of drug problems, is believed to have passed away between the hours of 4 A.M and 4.30 A.M local time.

Haim had reportedly been sick in the days before his death, suffering flu-like symptoms, according to TMZ. The actor had a history of drug problems and had spoken candidly of his longrunning battle with substance abuse.

You've probably already heard that former teen star Corey Haim was found dead today at 38, apparently of a drug overdose. Hollywood can unfortunately fill whole cemeteries with actors whose brief bouts of fame seem to have preceded (or caused?) drug-filled obscurity. Fame can't be easy to deal with, and though most of us can only guess, faded fame might be even harder still. [Not all former child / teen stars have difficulties with anonymity though. I remember seeing early 90s star Mayim Bailik (TV's Blossom but, more importantly, young Bette Midler in Beaches!) on an episode of "What Not to Wear" fairly recently. She seemed happy and content with just being a regular person.]

I never saw Corey's recent short lived TV show "The Two Coreys", in which he co-starred with his frequent screen partner and fellow teen icon Corey Feldman, mostly because the fame-whoring subgenre of reality TV makes me crazy uncomfortable. I don't feel "above it" per se -- I know many readers love reality tv so I'm not trying to get judgey -- but I just literally can't watch any show that's about the Z list.

Corey Haim's movie career probably reached its highpoint with one well-regarded, well-remembered vampire movie, 1987's The Lost Boys. That title became the sadly ironic tag that followed his descent from success to his tragic end, another premature Hollywood death in a shockingly short span. The cute kid with the tangled hair and the curling upper lip that hinted at hip self-awareness - well, he was sidelined. He was replaced by a spaced-out stranger who often looked bloated - he claimed at one point to have weighed 285 pounds after spending almost a decade as a shut-in, depressed and in bed.
