David Dorfman is well aware of the “Disney curse.” Too often, young actors who achieve fame early in life later fall prey to self-destructive impulses.
But either thanks to sheer luck or wisdom beyond his years, Dorfman avoided the usual pitfalls. “A lot of child stars get in trouble with the law. I get to write the laws,” he said.
Dorfman, now 31 with a hint of the baby face from his movie and TV days, is perhaps best known for his role as Aidan in “The Ring,” the sullen-eyed, ashen-faced son of Naomi Watts’ character trying to outrun a videotape-dwelling demon.
