He was quite big for some time then he disappeared.
Was there a scandal, behavior problems on the set, or his lead roles started to be crap?

I think it was drugs and him trying to move from teen idol to more adult roles. Like Freddie Prince Jr., I think roles became harder to find, and like Wes Bentley, I think drugs consumed his life.
Don't let her in here, she's a monster.

I completely forgot about him until I noticed him on Nikita and thought he looked very different from his early 2000's Final Destination heyday.
He's pretty awesome on Nikita (but then they all are) and I hope he becomes a series regular soon.

Yeah the age thing is not a good point. It doesn't explain anything.

@taxidriver: Good point about the age thing.

It eats actors up. From what can see on his IMDB page it seem clear that he wasn't able to find the movie that get him serious buzz or make him a household name. Probably seen as minor teen idol for films such as Casper, The Boys club, Wild America, Idle Hand, Final Destination, and Slackers. I read somewhere once that most male actor get their best work in their late 30's and Early 40's. While female actors get them in their 20's. I just happy that he didn't turn into a longterm burn out like Corey Haim or have an early peak River Phoenix. He recently did a recurring role on Nikkita and some couple of future projects. So don't count him out and done yet.
