Lance Kerwin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lance Kerwin born November 6, 1960 in Newport Beach, California, USA) is an American actor, perhaps best remembered for his starring role in the TV series James at 15. Since the mid 1990s, however, Kerwin has not acted, instead focusing on his Christian religious beliefs, having become a pastor. He is married and has three children. His Hollywood heyday as a teen idol turned sour when he developed alcohol and drug problems, notably a 1989 drug bust in San Francisco. (He later claimed he had smoked marijuana before the age of ten and had taken crack cocaine in his 20s.) Rehab and a re-discovered relationship with Jesus Christ turned his life around.

Lance serves as an assistant pastor with Calvary Chapel Romoland/U-Turn 4 Christ, a non-profit Christian rehabilitation, restoration, and discipleship program located in southern California, helping men and women overcome similar addictions to those he developed as a young actor.
