Who is Corey Feldman? Stand By Me star joins Dancing With the Stars Season 34 cast

Born in Chatsworth in California, on July 16, 1971, Feldman began his career at the age of three when he appeared in a McDonald’s commercial. By the late 1970s, he was guest-starring in TV hits like Mork & Mindy and Eight is Enough, according to his IMDb biography.

Feldman first became popular in the mid-1980s, as a streak of movie hits gave him a break. Feldman starred as a smart and often rebellious teen in films like Gremlins (1984), The Goonies (1985), and Rob Reiner's Stand By Me (1986). The role that solidified Feldman as an '80s icon was in Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys (1987).

Alongside fellow teen star Corey Haim, Feldman became part of the pop culture phenomenon ‘The Two Coreys,’ and together they headlined films like License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream, reported TV Insider.
