"Boy Meets World" and "Mrs. Doubtfire" actor Matthew Lawrence has some knowledge to drop: Hollywood's superficial obsession with "inclusion" and "compassion" masks one of the most ruthless businesses in the world — especially if you're a child star.
As Lawrence's brother Joey might say, "Whoa!"
Matthew made the comments in a recent conversation with older brother Joey and younger brother Andrew on the thespian trio's "Brotherly Love Podcast."
'They just literally toss them to the wolves, taking no responsibility.'
Fame shameLawrence noted that the pressure of sudden fame and wealth is harder for child actors, for whom success comes "before you actually know who you are." How to navigate that is something the industry "quietly stopped teaching" its youngest employees, Lawrence claimed.
Lawrence, who landed his first recurring television role at age 4, said the industry had a certain "responsibility" to child actors. His brothers, both of whom entered showbiz before they were 6, seemed to agree.

Tossed asideSpeaking of the highly publicized drug problems of troubled celebs like former Nickelodeon child star Tylor Chase, Lawrence put some of the onus on an industry that discards them once they're no longer useful.
"I feel like they haven't failed. I feel like the business has failed them," he said, while observing the disconnect between such callousness and the image the business likes to project:
Hollywood always talks about how they're the most compassionate, inclusive, amazing community, and they eat their own. Literally eat their own. They put these kids in movies. They build them up and talk about how incredible they are and throw money their way, [only] to pull the rug from them as soon as something doesn't work or as soon as they have outgrown that moment, and they just literally toss them to the wolves, taking no responsibility.RELATED: James Van Der Beek's message about finding God resurfaces after death: 'I am worthy of God's love'

Guilted cageAs for Hollywood activism, Lawrence suggested it's mostly motivated by guilt.
"They do have this inherent thing where they feel bad that they are sitting on top of a mountain of cash and fame."
This doesn't always translate into a good grasp of the issues, Lawrence noted.
"They always seem to pick and choose, like, the 'in' topic, when all this crap is going wrong with the world that they just look right over."

The Republican candidate running against New York Attorney General Letitia James for her role as the state's chief law enforcer accused the Democrat incumbent of abusing the powers of her office and "playing politics with the law" in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.

The head of the Federal Communications Commission said at a media conference that "The View" is under investigation for possible violations of the equal time rule.
The FCC changed the equal time rule last month to include talk shows like "The View," which forces them to provide the same coverage to all candidates in a campaign if they spotlight one.
'The idea is that if you’re a partisan political actor under the case law, then you’re likely not going to qualify under the bona fide news exception.'
The women of "The View" had James Talarico on their show, a Texas state representative who is vying for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). They also had Crockett on the show.
"The FCC has an enforcement action underway on that, and we’re taking a look at it," Carr said Wednesday. He did not elaborate on how "The View" may have violated the rule.
The admission comes as the FCC is facing criticism from Stephen Colbert after he was told by CBS not to air an interview with Talarico to avoid violating the rule.
Carr went on to explain the change in the rule.
"People can come forward with their own showings and a petition for declarative ruling, but this is something that will be explored as part of the FCC case law," he added. "The idea is that if you’re a partisan political actor under the case law, then you’re likely not going to qualify under the bona fide news exception."
Colbert had accused Carr of not applying the rule to right-wing talk radio, and Carr addressed that criticism as well.
"We haven’t seen the same issues on the radio side," he said. "We’ll take a look at anything that arises at the end of the day."

Carr went on to criticize the media for running with censorship claims made by Colbert that were contradicted by CBS.
"There was no censorship here at all," he told reporters.
"I think you guys should feel a bit ashamed for having been lied to and then just run with those lies," Carr said. "I think it was an embarrassing episode for the media."
