Previously, Bell found huge success on Nickelodeon, appearing on shows such as Drake & Josh and The Amanda Show. After both shows ended, the actor played Timmy Turner in a live-action The Fairly OddParents trilogy.

Bell has run into trouble with the law a number of times since the actor-musician’s time on Nickelodeon.

In June 2021, Bell went viral when he pleaded guilty to “attempted endangering [of] children and disseminating matter harmful to juveniles.”

NBC reports Bell “established a relationship” with a then-15-year-old. Bell allegedly engaged in “inappropriate social media messages” of a sexual nature with the teen.

His lawyer spoke to People about the allegations, saying, “All questions about this case will be answered at sentencing, including why Mr. Bell chose to enter his plea.”

In 2015, Bell was arrested for DUI with his bail set at $20,000. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and spent four days in jail.
