But due to prison overcrowding, he was released after just 12 days.

He was picked up again not long after that for possession of methamphetamine, which saw him spend another 90 days behind bars.

Shaun began his acting career in 1986, at the age of eight, when he appeared in TV show Pee-wee's Playhouse.
