The actor, who uses they/them pronouns, got their big break by appearing in the 2003 film and is grateful for the experience. However, Reyes is now opening up about how the role ultimately led to a 10-year battle with bullying and addiction.
Especially after production wrapped, when I first came back to school, people were really nice or really mean. There was no middle ground, they said. I was literally followed around the school with people chanting
