He was an altar boy at St Cecilia Catholic church in north-east Philadelphia when, at age 11, he became one of the victims of paedophile James Brzyski. Decades later, the actor and father developed the one-man stage show Fox Chase Boy. Performing it to his close-knit parish he speaks directly about a crime cloaked in silence, and brings welcome insight into their collective trauma Gerad Argeros, Kaya Dillon, Lindsay Poulton, Jess GormleyWed 7 May 2025 12.05 CESTLast modified on Wed 7 May 2025 12.07 CEST Explore more on these topics Catholicism The Guardian documentary Philadelphia Rape and sexual assault Comedy (Stage) Comedy (Culture) Mental health Men's health Most viewed Most viewed Middle East Global development Original reporting and incisive analysis, direct from the Guardian every morningSign up for our email Complaints & corrections Work for us Privacy policy Cookie policy Terms & conditions All writers Digital newspaper archive Tax strategy Newsletters Advertise with us Search UK jobs Back to top © 2025 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
