After a period of success, numerous personal problems that included a strained family relationship and drug use led to Corey Feldman disappearing from the limelight, although he continues to work as an actor. In addition to his acting, Feldman doubles as a singer for his band Corey Feldman's Truth Movement. In more recent years, he has become a notable advocate for child victims of sexual abuse, as he revealed both he and Corey Haim were victims of pedophiles during the height of their Hollywood popularity.
He's become well-known in recent years for his musical output, which began in the early 90's and has continued to this day. His album Angelic 2 The Core in particular attracted a lot of attention, becoming famous for its bewildering artistic choices and beloved as a prime example of So Bad, It's Good music.

Tropes:
- He Also Did: While he is well-known as a live-action actor, he's also done a fair amount of voice acting and started a music group called Corey's Angels to... mixed responses.
- Star-Making Role: His appearance in Gremlins paved the way for him to become a teen heartthrob in the 1990s, leading to a bit of a "holy shit, that was him?" reaction to his earlier roles like Tommy Jarvis.
