The Career Transformation of Chunk From Entertainment to Law

Jeff Cohen is best known for his unforgettable role as “Chunk” in the 1985 adventure classic The Goonies. While many child actors struggle to move beyond early fame, Cohen followed a very different path.

Instead of remaining in acting, he eventually transitioned into the legal side of the entertainment industry, building a respected and long-lasting career as an entertainment lawyer in Hollywood. His journey is often seen as an example of reinvention, education, and long-term professional growth.
