Cohen’s life underscores a truth that is often ignored in conversations about fame: early success is not the same as lasting fulfillment. Fame can open doors, but it cannot sustain purpose on its own. Without education, adaptability, and self-awareness, it can leave people stranded when attention fades. Cohen avoided that trap by investing in himself rather than his image.
His story offers a blueprint not just for former child actors, but for anyone facing a major life transition. Reinvention does not require erasing who you were. It requires understanding what you learned, what still matters, and where your values can do the most good. Cohen leveraged his unique history into a profession that allows him to protect others, shape fair outcomes, and influence an industry that once shaped him.
