"Wizards of Waverly Place" alum Dan Benson says a very specific issue led him down the road to OnlyFans ... his nudes were being leaked on the internet without him seeing a dime.

Nika King says she's stoked the long-awaited third season for "Euphoria" is finally back on track ... but at this point, it's a little unclear if she's even gonna be part of the new season.

We talked to the actress after HBO honchos confirmed the hit show was back in production, and there'd be a time jump in the story ... which Nika says she's all for, considering how long it's been since Season 2 ended.

It makes sense -- especially since cast members have changed in real life ... not to mention the passing of Angus Cloud.

Billy Zane Actors Need Pay For Emotional Parts ... Body Feels Traumatic Roles!!!

Billy Zane says emotional acting can be just as difficult as high-flying physical stunts ... arguing both take a toll on the body -- so, performers need to be paid fairly for each.

The actor sat down for a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly where he reflected on playing the title character in Lifetime's "Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story" ... and, he says portraying the convicted sex trafficker did a number on his psyche.

BZ says even playing a role -- secondhand diving into the darkness -- is a lot for actors ... adding the body recognizes all the chemical reactions it's going through, and it does affect you physically, so a few extra bucks ain't outta line.
