Melissa Joan Hart está apoyando plenamente a los que están compartiendo sus horrorosas historias en Nickelodeon en el documental "Quiet on Set". Esto, a pesar de que su experiencia con la red fue bastante buena.
La actriz, que solía trabajar en Nick para "Clarissa lo explica todo", estuvo en el podcast de Meghan McCain esta semana para decir que, si bien no ha visto el documental, cree y apoya a todos los que han decidido compartir sus experiencias.
Melissa explica que no escuchó personalmente ninguna de las terribles historias de sus compañeros y estrellas de Nickelodeon mientras trabajaba para ellos, pero dice que eso no niega lo que se está alegando.
MELISSA JOAN HART Believes 'Quiet on Set' Claims ... But I Had Good Experience

Melissa Joan Hart is fully backing those sharing their horror stories about Nickelodeon in the 'Quiet on Set' doc -- even though her own time with the network was pretty great.
The actress -- who used to work on Nick for "Clarissa Explains It All" -- went on Meghan McCain's podcast this week to say that while she hasn't seen the doc herself yet ... she believes and supports those who are coming forward to share their stories.
Melissa explains she didn't personally hear any horror stories from any fellow Nickelodeon stars in her heyday while working for them, but says that doesn't negate what's been alleged.
Kenan Thompson Addresses 'Quiet on Set' Doc ... It Never Happened to Me
Kenan Thompson says he feels for those who were mistreated while working as child stars at Nickelodeon back in the day -- but he also makes clear ... he just wasn't one of them.
The comedian hopped on the 'Tamron Hall Show' Wednesday, where he was plugging his "Good Burger 2" movie -- which, ironically, is a Nickelodeon production -- and he was asked point blank what he made of all the horror stories that surfaced in 'Quiet on Set.'
Kenan says, "It’s a tough subject because, it’s tough for me because I can’t really speak on things that I’ve never witnessed ... Because all these things happened after I left, basically, and Dan [Schneider] wasn’t really on 'Kenan & Kel' like that."
Drake Bell Tiene más que decir sobre el abuso que sufrió... En un nuevo capítulo
Drake Bell no ha terminado de hablar sobre el abuso que sufrió cuando era niño, ya que está listo para aparecer de nuevo en otro episodio de la docuserie "Quiet On Set".
Investigation Discovery, la cadena detrás del desgarrador documental, ha dado luz verde a un quinto episodio con Drake y otras ex estrellas infantiles de los años 90 y 00. El nuevo episodio, titulado "Breaking the Silence", promete profundizar en las tóxicas denuncias hechas contra Nickelodeon y su lugar de trabajo realizadas en los primeros 4 episodios.
"Quiet On Set" ya ha develado un montón de revelaciones de alto impacto, incluyendo una conversación con Drake, quien habló por primera vez sobre la agresión sexual que sufrió cuando era un adolescente por el entrenador de diálogo de Nickelodeon Brian Peck.
Drake Bell Has More to Say About Sexual Abuse In New Doc Episode
Drake Bell isn't done exposing the abuse he suffered as a child actor ... as he's set to appear in a newly added episode for the 'Quiet On Set' docuseries.
Investigation Discovery, the network behind the harrowing doc, has officially greenlit a fifth episode with Drake -- and other former child stars from the '90s and '00s -- set to return. The new episode, notably titled 'Breaking the Silence,' promises to delve deeper into toxic workplace claims made against Nickelodeon in the first 4 episodes.
"Quiet On Set" has already featured plenty of bombshell revelations, including a sit down with Drake, who spoke out for the first time about being sexually assaulted as a teen by Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck.
'Ned's Declassified' Stars Jokes Not Aimed at Drake Bell ... Understand Serious Nature
![032324_neds_declassified-_podcast-kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/61/16by9/2024/03/23/61472f16ca07439e8dec4cc24dc8344a_md.jpg)
The stars of "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" are admitting they messed up by making some jokes about 'Quiet On Set' ... claiming they didn't understand the magnitude of the docuseries until now.
Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and Daniel Curtis Lee -- who starred in the hit Nickelodeon show during its three-season run -- took some time on a podcast episode released Thursday to address controversial jokes they made about the shocking documentary.
![031924_devon_werkheiser_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/6a/16by9/2024/03/19/6ad778dd27104fb38723faab811eb225_md.jpg)
In their new episode, Werkheiser and Lee try to explain their comments to fans ... saying they weren't talking specifically about Drake Bell ... but in the confusion of the moment, it came out that way.
ICYMI ... the trio was on TikTok Live when they were asked to comment on the new television project full of claims of child sexual abuse at the network.
They say a lot -- and acknowledge they probably shouldn't joke about the series -- but Devon also uses the phrase "give me your holes" during the clip ... and Drake Bell responded on social media, blasting the three.
The stars say they were multitasking, and the whole moment was simply chaotic ... but they know they shouldn't have made any jokes -- especially now that they've seen the doc.
AMANDA BYNES Turned Down 'Quiet On Set' Interview ... Nothing Like Her Experience
-
Exclusive
- 1.4K shares
Amanda Bynes isn't interested in talking about her child star past -- especially for the doc about Nickelodeon -- because she simply didn't have a bad experience ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … both Amanda and her parents -- Rick and Lynn -- were approached about telling their stories on "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," but we're told they all opted not to participate.
Our sources say Amanda -- whom we're told did not watch the documentary -- declined to sit for an interview on account that she felt she just didn't have anything to share that would further their cause. In other words, she didn't go through what the 'QOS' subjects did.
On the contrary, our sources tell us Amanda is grateful for what she was able to do with her Nickelodeon start -- as we're told she acknowledges that it launched her career back then.
As for her parents ... our sources say they're private people and wanted to stay out of the spotlight for this. Unlike Amanda, we're told they actually watched the documentary and were both saddened and disgusted by the allegations.
But again, we're told the family unit as a whole hadn't experienced what these other child actors did while at the network ... which is why it didn't make sense for them to sit for it.
As we all know, Amanda starred on "The Amanda Show" from 1999 to 2002 alongside Drake Bell -- who revealed he was abused by dialogue coach Brian Peck. Peck was credited on some episodes of 'TAS' as well.
Some of Drake's former costars -- like Josh Peck who also appeared on "The Amanda Show" -- have come out in recent days ... saying they watched the documentary and are lamenting the horrors their costars claim they dealt with.
BTW ... one of the 'Quiet On Set' episodes focuses heavily on Bynes, including how she was discovered at the Laugh Factory in the mid-90s -- so, it does seem a little odd that Amanda isn't interested in peeping the series at all ... especially since she's a focal point in it.
Of course, it goes without saying ... Amanda's been through her own personal saga -- conservatorship, etc. -- and in the aftermath of that, it's clear she wants to leave the past in the past and focus on other ventures ... including her burgeoning cosmetology career.
Amanda is much more low-key these days ... and she hasn't publicly addressed the doc. Now, however, we know how she feels about it -- and there's no bad blood with Nick.

Josh Peck Rompe el silencio sobre "Quiet On Set"... Pide un cambio en la industria

Noticias de Último Minuto

Josh Peck está hablando sobre las acusaciones relatadas en el documental sobre los niños actores de Nickelodeon y está diciendo que las cosas tienen que cambiar para mejor.
La ex estrella de Nick rompió su silencio sobre "Quiet on Set" el jueves, esto en medio de la creciente presión de los fans, quienes lo estaban empujando para que dijera algo mientras seguía publicando cosas en sus redes sociales sin abordar el tema.
Josh escribe: "Terminé el documental "Quiet on Set" y me tomé unos días para procesarlo. Me puse en contacto con Drake en privado, pero quiero brindarle mi apoyo a los supervivientes que fueron lo suficientemente valientes como para compartir sus historias de abuso emocional y físico en los platós de Nickelodeon con el mundo".
Y continúa: "Los niños deben ser protegidos. Revivir esto públicamente es increíblemente difícil, pero espero que pueda traer sanación para las víctimas y sus familias, así como un necesario cambio en nuestra industria".
El mensaje de Josh llega en el momento justo. Su nombre ha sido tendencia toda la semana tras la emisión del documental y mucha gente quería saber si iba a decir algo o cuándo iba a hacerlo. Josh, obviamente, no apareció en el documental, pero era una de las mayores estrellas de Nick en ese entonces.
Por supuesto, su conexión con Drake Bell, con quien protagonizó un enorme programa "Drake & Josh" no pasó desapercibida para nadie, especialmente después de que Drake revelara que fue abusado cuando era adolescente.
La única cosa que Josh no precisa en su declaración es si alguna vez experimentó algo indecoroso él mismo, o si estaba al tanto de lo que estaba pasando con Drake en el momento, pero de acuerdo a sus palabras, parece seguro suponer que probablemente no sabía nada al respecto.
![032024_drake_bell_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/61/16by9/2024/03/20/610314badbd143c493886204ce52efa1_md.jpg)
Como informamos, Drake salió a defender a Josh el miércoles en medio de la reacción violenta de los fans, diciéndole al público que su co-estrella ya se había acercado a él y le pidió a la gente que dejara de echar humo.
A estas alturas, solo hay otra persona de la cual la gente querría saber... Amanda Bynes.
Josh Peck Breaks Silence on 'Quiet on Set' ... Calls on Industry Change

Breaking News

Josh Peck is speaking out on all the claims and horror stories chronicled in the documentary about Nickelodeon child actors ... and he says things have gotta change for the better.
The former Nick star broke his silence Thursday over 'Quiet on Set' -- this amid mounting pressure from fans, who were very vocally calling on him to say something as he continued to post things on social media without addressing it.
Josh writes, "I finished the Quiet on Set documentary and took a few days to process it. I reached out to Drake privately, but want to give my support for the survivors who were brave enough to share their stories of emotional and physical abuse on Nickelodeon sets with the world."
He continues, "Children should be protected. Reliving this publicly is incredibly difficult, but I hope it can bring healing for the victims and their families as well as necessary change to our industry."
Josh's post is coming at just the right time ... his name has been trending all week in the wake of the doc airing -- with lots of people wondering if/when he was ever going to speak. Josh obviously wasn't featured in 'QOS,' but he was one of the biggest Nick stars back then.
Of course, his connection to Drake Bell -- with whom he starred on a massive show in "Drake & Josh" -- wasn't lost on anyone ... especially after Drake revealed he was abused as a teen.
The one thing Josh doesn't pinpoint in his statement is whether he ever experienced anything unseemly himself -- or if he was privy to what was going on with Drake at the time -- but based on his words, it seems safe to presume he was probably in the dark about it.
![032024_drake_bell_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/61/16by9/2024/03/20/610314badbd143c493886204ce52efa1_md.jpg)
As we reported ... Drake came out Wednesday to defend Josh amid the backlash, notifying the public that his one-time costar had already reached out, and told people to lay off.
At this point, there's only one other person people really wanna hear from ... Amanda Bynes.

Drake Bell Guys, Josh Has Reached Out to Me ... Please Lay Off!!!

Drake Bell is coming to Josh Peck's defense after fans blasted his former costar for staying mum amid his sexual abuse story ... basically telling everyone to stand down.
The former Nick star hopped online Wednesday to clear the air on where he stands with Josh ... and he confirmed that JP has, in fact, reached out to him after his appearance on 'Quiet on the Set' -- even though just about everybody assumed he hadn't.
Drake -- who opened up about being molested as a teen by former Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck in the docuseries -- says he noticed the hate comments flooding Josh's social media accounts these past several days ... which he says are unwarranted.
As Drake puts it ... Josh has been supportive in the aftermath of the doc. Josh's reach-out hasn't been made public until now because of the delicate nature of the situation -- so things are clearly going on behind the scenes that not everyone can see.
Drake says that he's been going through an emotional time in processing everything that has happened ... which is why certain things have been kept out of the public eye.
His update comes amid accusations that JP was purposefully ignoring the damning doc about their former network. The comment section of Josh's TikTok account even featured countless fans demanding that he say something in support of DB, instead of making silly uploads.
Of course, Drake and Josh have a rocky relationship of late. The two found themselves publicly beefing after Drake griped about not being invited to Josh's wedding.
![032024_josh_peck_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/d6/16by9/2024/03/20/d6bbb5d9bcef4379a9a3aa798a5505da_md.jpg)
The two actors eventually hugged it out at the 2017 VMAs -- but even after that ... it didn't seem they were particularly close.
Still, we're happy to hear that Josh has rallied around Drake right now ... and here's hoping people heed Drake's request to lay off his old bud.

Dan Schneider sobre "Quiet on Set" Aborda las acusaciones en una nueva entrevista... Se disculpa por los errores
![031924_dan_schneider_regret_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/72/16by9/2024/03/19/723ce8905f434acfa686f0ed47baf08c_md.jpg)
Dan Schneider está abordando las acusaciones del nuevo documental de Nickelodeon que lo pintan como un monstruo y lo acusan de comportamiento extremadamente inapropiado con algunos miembros del elenco, y él está asumiendo su responsabilidad.
El alguna vez mandamás de Nickelodeon se sentó con el ex actor de "iCarly" BooG!e el martes para entregar una respuesta formal a las afirmaciones que lo acusan de fomentar un ambiente tóxico en el trabajo y en los programas que creó, y que se acaban de abordar en su totalidad en este nuevo documental que se está volviendo viral.
Echa un vistazo, Dan Schneider dice que fue muy difícil para él ver la nueva docuserie y reconocer algunos de sus comportamientos como vergonzosos y lamentables.
Añadió: "Definitivamente, le debo a una disculpa bastante fuerte a algunas personas".
El ex ejecutivo de televisión -que era el showrunner de varios programas de Nickelodeon en su momento- se dio cuenta de cómo sus acciones impactaron a los que trabajaban para él. Dijo que ahora no volvería a hacer algunas de las travesuras que hizo en el set en ese entonces, explicando: "Me avergüenzo de haberlo hecho entonces. Pido disculpas a quienquiera que haya puesto en esa situación".
Dan incluso estuvo de acuerdo en que algunos de los cuestionables chistes de sus programas deberían ser cortados ahora mismo e insistió en que escribió las ocurrencias con los niños en mente y que no había mala intención.
![031924_dan_schneider_drake_bell_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/5f/16by9/2024/03/19/5fc191a00f2f451f8f0e9b5cfd5f4400_md.jpg)
A través de sus representantes, Dan ha negado las afirmaciones de que los programas que supervisó sexualizaron a propósito a sus estrellas infantiles, como Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes y Jennette McCurdy, entre otros.
Su portavoz declaró el lunes: "Todo lo que sucedía en los programas que Dan dirigía era cuidadosamente escudriñado por docenas de adultos involucrados, y aprobado por la cadena. Si hubiera habido escenas o trajes que fueran inapropiados de alguna manera, habrían sido advertidos y bloqueados por este escrutinio de múltiples capas".
Drake Bell, que habló de ser molestado por su entrenador de diálogo en Nickelodeon Brian Peck en "Quiet on Set", acreditó a Dan como un aliado después de que habló del abuso.
En esta nueva entrevista, Dan habló de Drake y Peck, y se emocionó al hacerlo.
Dijo que estaba devastado cuando se enteró de la conducta de Brian, explicando que no fue quien contrató al entrenador de diálogo para la red, pero que tiene remordimientos de haberlo tenido cerca. Incluso reveló que ayudó a la madre de Drake a escribir su declaración para el juicio de Brian.
Echa un vistazo al video de arriba para escuchar la disculpa completa de Dan, es bastante interesante de ver y escuchar.
Dan Schneider on 'Quiet on Set' Addresses Claims in New Interview ... Apologizes for Mistakes
![031924_dan_schneider_regret_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/72/16by9/2024/03/19/723ce8905f434acfa686f0ed47baf08c_md.jpg)
Dan Schneider is addressing the allegations in the new Nickelodeon doc that paints him as a monster and wildly inappropriate with some in the cast ... and he's taking accountability.
The one-time Nickelodeon honcho sat down with former "iCarly" actor BooG!e Tuesday to offer up his formal response to toxic workplace claims made against him and the shows he created ... which was just addressed in full on the new documentary that's going viral.
Check it out ... DS says it was very hard for him to watch the new docuseries ... acknowledging some of his past behavior as embarrassing and regretful.
He added ... "I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology."
The former TV exec -- who was the showrunner on several Nick shows back in the day -- realized how his actions impacted those who worked for him. He says he'd never do some of the on-set shenanigans he pulled back then today -- explaining ... "I’m embarrassed that I did it then. I apologize to anybody that I ever put in that situation."
Dan even agrees some of the questionable jokes written for his shows should be cut right now ... insisting he wrote the quips with children in mind -- and that there was no ill intent.
![031924_dan_schneider_drake_bell_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/5f/16by9/2024/03/19/5fc191a00f2f451f8f0e9b5cfd5f4400_md.jpg)
Through his reps, Dan has denied claims that the shows he oversaw purposefully sexualized its child stars -- like Ariana Grande, Amanda Bynes and Jennette McCurdy, among others.
His spokesperson stated Monday ... "Everything that happened on the shows Dan ran was carefully scrutinized by dozens of involved adults, and approved by the network. Had there been any scenes or outfits that were inappropriate in any way, they would have been flagged and blocked by this multilayered scrutiny.”
Drake Bell -- who spoke out about being molested by Nickelodeon dialogue coach Brian Peck in 'Quiet on Set' -- credited Dan as an ally after he spoke out about the abuse.
In the new sit-down, Dan talks about Drake and Peck as well ... getting emotional doing so.
He says he was devastated when he learned of Brian's behavior ... explaining he did not hire the dialogue coach for the network, but has regrets nonetheless on having him around. He even revealed that he helped Drake's mother pen her statement for Brian's sentencing trial.
Check out the video above for Dan's full apology ... it's pretty interesting to see and hear.

Drake Bell Slams 'Ned's Declassified' Crew Over 'Quiet on Set' Jokes
Drake Bell is blasting other Nickelodeon child stars for making light of his abuse -- specifically, going after the 'Ned's Declassified' crew ... who seem to find some humor in it.
Devon Werkheiser, Lindsey Shaw and others who used to work on their old Nick show were recording a TikTok Live Monday -- this as the second half of the 'Quiet on Set' doc aired on ID -- and they appeared to be cracking jokes at Drake and others' expense.
![031924_devon_werkheiser_kal](https://imagez.tmz.com/image/6a/16by9/2024/03/19/6ad778dd27104fb38723faab811eb225_md.jpg)
One of the jabs Devon and co. dropped while discussing the 'QOS' doc included him impersonating a tyrant, presumably Dan Schneider, saying "give me your holes."
Devon acknowledges right after that they shouldn't joke about the topic -- and DB himself certainly agreed ... taking to X to call him out. Drake quote-tweeted the vid, adding ... "Ned’s Declassless…this is wild…laugh it up guys…laugh it up…”Give me your h*les?!!” Really?!"
Devon does attempt to be serious at one point in his IG Live ... noting that what happened to Drake is terrible -- acknowledging it's crazy it stayed under wraps for as long as it did.
He also says that their set from 'ND' was not in any way like what was described in the doc from child actors who worked under Schneider's reign. Still, he continued to giggle with his old costars ... which didn't sit well with Drake, and definitely not with others online.
It's understandable that the 'Ned's' camp is getting trashed right now ... frankly, what Drake and co. revealed on the doc is extremely serious -- not to mention downright disturbing.
In addition to Drake's abuse at the hands of Brian Peck -- several other former child stars claimed they were mistreated while working at Nick ... and others suggested the showrunners and writers were often attempting to sexualize a lot of the kids in not-so-subtle ways.

There are a lot of sketches and costumes -- not to mention slime gags -- that are resurfacing now that come across as wildly inappropriate ... even though DS has denied wrongdoing.
Nickelodeon commented, saying ... "Though we cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct."
They add, "Our highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not just of our employees, casts and crew, but of all children, and we have adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to our own high standards and the expectations of our audience."
Devon appeared on a recent episode of The TMZ Verified Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

DAN SCHNEIDER DENIES SEXUALIZING NICKELODEON CHILD STARS
Dan Schneider has again denied allegations of a toxic workplace while he was at Nickelodeon ... including claims that child actors were sexualized on shows he created.
A rep for the veteran TV producer -- the man behind hit Nickelodeon shows like "The Amanda Show" and "Drake & Josh" -- says there's no truth to the allegations floated in 'Quiet on Set' ... asserting that numerous adults were involved in overseeing all aspects of the shows, with everything being approved by the network itself.
The statement further clarifies that scripts for the shows underwent a rigorous vetting process, requiring approvals from both NYC and L.A. networks ... and if anything was found to be inappropriate it would've been flagged and blocked by multilayered scrutiny.
The statement reads in part ... "Remember, all stories, dialogue, costumes, and makeup were fully approved by network executives on two coasts. A standards and practices group read and ultimately approved every script, and programming executives reviewed and approved all episodes."
As well as ensuring the scripts were kid-appropriate ... parents, caregivers, and their friends would be on set every day watching filming and rehearsals, Dan's camp adds.
Schneider's statement comes after the first 2 installments of ID's doc, "Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV," premiered ... in which claims surfaced that some of his shows appeared to sexualize child stars like Ariana Grande and Jamie Lynn Spears in specific scenes.
The doc also delves deeper into claims of sexism, racism, and inappropriate behavior involving underage stars and members of the shows overseen by Schneider -- as well as allegations from crew members they were continuously asked to massage Schneider on set.
Dan's team did respond to those allegations ... previously saying, "Dan deeply regrets asking anyone for neck massages. Though they happened in public settings, he knows this was highly inappropriate and would never happen again."

LA ESTRELLA DE NICKELODEON BRYAN HEARNE "ME DECÍAN PEDAZO DE CARBON" EN EL TRABAJO "Parecía una cámara de torturas"
Bryan Hearne ha hablado, y ha comparado el trabajo en Nickelodeon con una cámara de torturas, afirmando que fue víctima de racismo.
El actor infantil -que apareció en 16 episodios del programa de sketches "All That", así como otros programas de Nick- trabajó con Investigation Discovery para la docuserie "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV", y People reveló gran parte de lo que dijo.
Una de las mayores revelaciones es que Bryan -un hombre afroamericano- dice que un adulto le llamó "pedazo de carbón" mientras trabajaba para la red. No está claro cuál fue el contexto del comentario, pero, en cualquier caso, es algo bastante horrible,
También habla de haber sido elegido para papeles estereotípicamente racistas, dice que interpretó a un traficante de drogas en el programa y también a un rapero llamado Lil Fetus, que le implicaba llevar un leotardo de color carne... básicamente desnudo ante la cámara.
Hearne dice que Lil Fetus es una de las muchas cosas incómodas que se vio obligado a hacer mientras trabajaba para Nick. En otra ocasión, tuvo que dejar que un perro lamiera mantequilla de maní de su cuerpo.
Bryan dice que no sentía que podía tener una discusión con los adultos a su alrededor acerca de su incomodidad, y comparó toda la experiencia Nickelodeon a estar en una cámara de tortura4s.
Por supuesto, "Quiet On Set" ha estado en todas las noticias y redes sociales recientemente porque Drake Bell reveló que fue abordado de manera inapropiada por el entrenador de actuación Brian Peck mientras trabajaba para la red.
Bell dijo que trabajó con la policía para obtener una confesión después de que él dijera que había sido agredido sexualmente por Peck varias veces. Finalmente, Peck se declaró inocente de realizar un acto lascivo con un menor de 14 o 15 años y de copulación oral con un menor de 16 años.
Hearne aparece en el tráiler del documental revelando que Bell contaría su historia, con Bryan diciendo que inmediatamente se preguntó quién fue agredido una vez que Peck fue expuesto.
Los primeros episodios de "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" se estrenará esta noche a las 9 PM en Investigation Discovery.
Nickelodeon Star Bryan Hearne Called 'Piece of Charcoal' At Work ... Like A Torture Chamber
Bryan Hearne is speaking out ... comparing working for Nickelodeon to a torture chamber -- and claiming he faced blatant racism on the job.
The child actor -- who appeared on 16 episodes of the sketch show "All That" as well as other Nick shows -- sat down with Investigation Discovery for the docuseries "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" ... and People revealed a ton of what he's apparently going to say.
One of the biggest revelations ... Bryan -- a Black man -- says an adult called him a "piece of charcoal" while he worked for the network. Unclear what the context of the comment was -- but, regardless a horrible thing to say to a teenager.
BH also reportedly talks about being cast in stereotypically racist roles -- he says he played a drug dealer on the show and also a rapper called Lil Fetus which involved him wearing a flesh-toned leotard ... essentially looking naked on camera.
Hearne says Lil Fetus is one of the many super uncomfortable things he was forced to do while working for Nick ... also the time he had to let a dog lick peanut butter off his body.
Bryan says he didn't feel he could have a discussion with the adults around him about his discomfort ... and likened the whole Nickelodeon experience to being in a torture chamber.
Of course, 'Quiet On Set' has been all over the news and social media recently because Drake Bell revealed he was molested by acting coach Brian Peck while working for the network.
Bell said he worked with police to get a confession from Brian on tape after he says he'd been sexually assaulted by Peck multiple times. Peck eventually pled no contest to performing a lewd act with a 14 or 15-year-old and oral copulation with a minor under 16.
Hearne's in the trailer for the documentary revealing Bell would tell his story ... with Bryan saying he immediately wondered who was assaulted once Peck was exposed.
The first episodes of "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" is set for release tonight at 9 PM on Investigation Discovery.
