Peck said that even for a child actor "under the most perfect circumstance," he thinks the job is "probably too much pressure for one to handle at that age.” He added that he eventually felt like he and Bell started to rebuild their friendship later on in Drake & Josh, and in retrospect, it was around the time Brian went to jail.
