Disturbing photos. Regularly active on his Instagram account, in particular to publish works of art, Nicholas Brendon had not published anything since July 13. On August 16, a message posted by one of his relatives on his Instagram account and accompanied by photos of the actor allowed his fans to understand the reasons for this absence.

The troubled life of Nicholas Brendon

Revealed by the series buffy the vampire slayerin 1997, he had obtained another recurring role a few years later, that of Kevin Lynch in the series Criminal minds. On the other hand, for three years, Nicholas Brendon has not been featured in any project. If he seems to have concentrated on his art, it is also because the actor has suffered since the beginning of his career from depression and several addictions, including alcohol. He was arrested many times, including for domestic violence. In August last year, he was arrested again by law enforcement. He has, among other things, been accused of fraudulently obtaining prescriptions for drugs.
