A former cast member of ‘Family Ties’ has been arrested for assault in Colorado. Brian Bonsall, who played Michael J Fox’s little brother Andy Keaton, got into a fight and allegedly hit a friend with a broken chair.
Brian (28) said he had been drinking and didn’t remember anything, but this isn’t the first time the ex-child star has been in trouble for assault. In 2007, he was sentenced to probation for assaulting his girlfriend and was later accused of probation violations.
The hit ’80s series also made headlines last week with the news Brian’s onscreen mother – oeredith Baxter, who played Elyse Keaton – had become a lesbian. The 62-year-old has announced, “I am gay and it was later-in-life recognition.”
