A former Disney Channel star almost ended up in 'Disney jail' following a naughty encounter he had in the Haunted Mansion.
The ex-child star is primarily known for his time on Disney Channel's Even Stevens alongside Shia LaBoeuf in a recurring role.
Now 33, he went on to have parts in TV shows such as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Married... with Children before he turned 10 years old.

That's a pretty star-studded resume if I don't say so myself.
He also starred in other series such as ER, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Disney Channel classic, That's So Raven.
The former star is none other than Steven Anthony Lawrence.
Lawrence has been a bit more quiet on the TV and film front in recent times though, with his last acting credit coming in 2013, in Holly, Jingles and Clyde 3D, where he played Jingles.

His role in Even Stevens is what he is best known for, playing Bernard 'Beans' Aranguren, the Steven's irritating neighbour who kept inviting himself into their home and sticking around.
Starring in a total of 22 episodes, 'Beans' became a sidekick to Louis (Laboeuf), and Twitty's (A.J. Trauth) schemes.
Last year, Lawrence reunited with co-stars from the show Christy Carlson Romano and Nick Spano to start a podcast, Even More Stevens.
On the podcast, they talk about their experiences on set and memories from that time, and going slightly off piste, Lawrence shared the story of how he almost went to 'Disney jail' for getting a bit too 'frisky'.
During a trip to Disneyland Resort, he made a classic teenage error: “So we’re on the Haunted Mansion, me and my girlfriend at the time,”

“It’s a little dark in there. We’re two hot and bothered teenagers getting a little fun, right? So we’re getting a little hot and frisky in the Haunted Mansion.
"Eventually, the ride stops and the lights come up.”
Co-hosts Romano and Span look embarrassed and awkward when listening to the story, but he continues.
“An announcer comes on, the announcer goes, ‘Sorry for the interruption, folks. It seems we have some naughty ghosts in our midsts'."

I'm getting second-hand embarrassment too.
"That is the announcement that comes on when you get in trouble for doing the hanky panky in the Haunted Mansion.”
Luckily, he was only approached and reprimanded by security, with the situation not escalating further.
We've definitely heard of other child stars doing stupid things and getting off a lot worse!
