British actor Charlie Heaton was denied entry into the U.S. after “trace
amounts of cocaine were found in his luggage” at Los Angeles
International Airport a week ago, according to The Associated Press.
Law enforcement officials told The Hollywood Reporter that the actor admitted to consuming the drug.
The 23-year-old, best known for his role as Jonathan Byers on the Netflix
series “Stranger Things,” was forced to return to London and
as a result missed the show’s season 2 premiere in LA on Thursday
night.
Lucas Ozarowski, a 27-year-old film and TV editor, says he also was assaulted by Grasham after Blaise Godbe Lipman first spoke up on Facebook talking about what he faced from the agent while seeking representation 10 years ago as a child actor.
Tyler Grasham has been put on a leave of absence by his agency APA and is no longer physically in the Beverly Hills offices. We hear the agency took the agent off his desk Wednesday after accuser Blaise Godbe Lipman, now 28, went public on Facebook saying that the rep sexually assaulted him 10 years ago when he was seeking representation as a child actor. Deadline also spoke to another man who came forward with a similar allegation against Grasham.
rasham, who has many child clients, will stay on a leave as the investigation by an independent third party continues. The agency is now working to place his 50-some clients with other agents So far, two successful actor clients already fired him as their rep. One, Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things fired both the agent and APA; the other, Cameron Boyce of Disney’s Descendants franchise, fired the agent but has not decided whether he will stay with the agency. Both have other representation as well.
