Cohen went on to earn a law degree from UCLA and became an entertainment attorney in Hollywood, representing major clients and negotiating high-profile deals within the industry he once performed in as a child.
One of the most notable moments in his later career came when he helped negotiate a deal for his Goonies co-star Ke Huy Quan, who later won an Academy Award. The moment symbolized a full-circle connection between his past and present.
Today, Jeff Cohen is recognized not just as a former child star, but as a successful entertainment lawyer who built a second career on his own terms, proving that reinvention can be just as powerful as fame.
