Sorry, I couldn't resist the urge to post that title.

More specifically, the actor Andrew Koenig, who used to portray the character Richard "Boner" Stabone from the '80s sitcom "Growing Pains" is missing.

LINK

Spoiler:
Vancouver, British Columbia (CNN) -- Police are asking for public assistance in locating actor Andrew Koenig, who is best known for appearing in the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains."

Koenig, 41, lives in Venice, California, but was visiting friends in Vancouver, police said in a statement Sunday. Friends last saw him on February 14. He was supposed to return home last Tuesday, and Vancouver police were notified Thursday that he had not arrived.

"Andrew has recently been despondent and his family and friends are concerned for his well-being," the police statement said.

Koenig was described as being 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds, with brown shoulder-length hair and brown eyes, authorities said. Anyone with information on his whereabouts was asked to notify police.

Koenig appeared in 25 episodes of "Growing Pains" from 1985 to 1989, playing Richard "Boner" Stabone, according to the Internet Movie Database Web site. He also has appeared in episodes of several other TV shows.


Seriously though, hope they find him well. Word is he was quite depressed when he went missing.

Even as a kid, I was shocked they got away with calling that kid Boner in a somewhat wholesome sit-com.

It's the Dick Exemption. Since the word "boner" had an "innocent" meaning, you could get away with it, much like you could call someone "Dick", so long it was their name and not a body part.

Not if somebody didn't like him and had him rubbed out...

Have they checked local campgrounds? He could be out there pitching a tent and getting back to nature.

They're probably just jerking him around.

Do you have mounting concerns for our missing person?

I had read that the 'actor that played Boner on Growing Pains' was missing, but I had no idea this was Walter Koenig's son!

When they find him, they better put a warning label on him.

I bet he's hiding. If he had any balls, he'd come around.

Yep, the statements made about his behavior in the news articles indicated a very depressed person on the brink of suicide.

Been there, almost done that.

Condolences to the family and friends of the late Andrew Koenig.

I wasn't alive to watch the series, but this is saddening.

I expect to "been there, almost done that", as Micheal says, many times throughout my life. Que sera, sera...
