VANCOUVER, British Columbia - Police are asking for the public's help in locating actor Andrew Koenig, who had a recurring role on the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains."

Vancouver police say Koenig was visiting friends in West Vancouver when he went missing. He was last seen on Feb. 14.

A statement released by the police department says Koenig "has recently been despondent and his family and friends are concerned for his well-being."

Koenig, 41, lives in Venice, Calif., but at one time lived in Vancouver. He is the son of Walter Koenig, who played Chekov on the "Star Trek" television series and movies.

On "Growing Pains" Koenig played "Boner," a pal of star Kirk Cameron's character Mike.

Vancouver Police can be reached at (604) 717-3321.

Doesn't he know there are no nuclear wessels in Vancouver? I hope he's just partying hard in Vancouver.

Don't worry about the guy... He was child actor right? He's probably held up in a hotel room with Todd Bridges and Gary Coleman sniffin' some kind of white powder or puffing on a fat PCP cigarette. Hah! Hah! Hah!

The guy has been gone less than a week, he was reported missing like 4 days after going to Vancouver. Is he a child? Because he was depressed, he automatically is a risk to himself? Maybe he is depressed over possible overbearing parents who report a 35 year old man missing after 4 days of not hearing from him! I go a month not hearing from my own sister! She just is not talkative. I do not even think he can be classified as "missing" this soon at his age.

Not knowing the name so well, I would also like to see a recent picture of him. I can't think what he even looked like back when he was on Growing Pains...
