Actor Andrew Koenig, best known for his role as ‘Boner’ Stabone on 80s sitcom “Growing Pains,” has been missing for a week after he failed to board a flight back to the US in Vancouver.

Koenig, described as “severely depressed” about “something” by friends, has not been seen nor heard from since February 14th. Koenig was slated to fly out of Vancouver two days later. While in Vancouver, Koenig stayed with burlesque dancer Jenny Magenta, who posted a note on Facebook indicating that the actor may have been spotted since his disappearance.

TV Host Dave Holmes made the following plea for help in the case:

Our friend Andrew Koenig, the camera operator for Never Not Funny, hasn’t been seen in nearly a week. Here’s what mutual friend Dave Holmes has to say:

HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM?

Andrew Koenig (AK-47, the video guy on “Never Not Funny,” and “Boner” from “Growing Pains”) has been missing for a week, last seen 2/14 in Vancouver. Didn’t make his flight back to the US on 2/16. The Vancouver Police are involved, and lots of people are looking. Could you reblog this and help get the word out? And say some prayers or think some positive thoughts?

Andrew is a super, super good guy, and we’re thinking of him and his family. If you’re in the Northwest, please keep your eyes out, and no matter where you are, please share this news.

If you’ve seen Andrew since February 14th, contact Detective Raymond Payette of the Vancouver PD at 604-717-2534.

Scotty Lago’s early departure from the Olympic Village may not entirely have been the snowboarder’s idea.

Lago was through competing and had planned to stick around for the closing ceremonies, but racy afterparty pics of Lago brandishing his bronze medal in a risque way over his halfpipe as a girl in a bar kissed it surfaced on the internet. Another picture shows the unnamed woman biting down on the medal as Lago, wearing a “Team USA” shirt, holds it. Lago apologized Friday to the U.S. Olympic Committee and U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, and it was said the athlete decided to pack his stuff and leave.

However, TMZ reports that had Lago not cleared out, he would have been booted by officials anyway:

Lago offered up an apology after a mildly suggestive photo of him — using his bronze medal for snowboarding to score chicks — popped up on the Internet. He agreed to leave the Olympic Village on his own accord, but sources close to Lago tell TMZ he received an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: either say you’re sorry and go … or get ejected from the Olympic Village.

TMZ also reports that Lago is under some sort of gag order preventing him from discussing the incident until March 3rd.
