Katz, who played Max Dennison in Hocus Pocus, struggled with the pressures of child stardom, eventually stepping away from acting to pursue a quieter life as a real estate agent in Texas.
According to insiders, Katz's decision to leave Hollywood was largely influenced by the traumatic experience of being bullied and typecast after the film's release, prompting him to prioritize his mental health and personal fulfillment over continued fame.
