That's So Raven star Orlando Brown has been found, one day after his manager reported him missing.

Brown, 20, was reported missing on Tuesday after leaving his manager's office to visit a nearby 7-Eleven. It turns out, the actor went into seclusion after a bad experience at a nightclub the previous night where his performance skills were criticized.

In a statement, Brown said, "It was wrong for me not to inform my manager about my whereabouts, especially when I am usually so routine and big on communication, but I felt a little lost and needed to get away."

Brown has several projects in the works, including a Raven spin-off and a new album featuring Akon and Sean Kingston. — J.R. Whalen

I hope they find him safe and sound.

No offense but today is Wednesday. He's been "missing" since Tuesday? haven't we all gone 24 hours without being seen or talking to someone? I mean I hope he's okay but I'd be worried if this were a child but a 20 year old man can't lay low for a day?

I was just about to post the same thing. Not to sound cynical but I wouldn't be surprised if his publicist did this rather rash measure to get him attention. I've seen this same story on People, EW, Fox News and a couple of other sites in the past 2 hours. That's probably more attention this guy has gotten in his entire career.

Then again, I could be totally wrong and he could be lying in a ditch somewhere in which case I would feel horrible. So I hope he's okay but he is an adult and it's only be a day.

That is kind of harsh, to just outright assume that this is a publicity stunt. Granted- that would be classless at best. However if he really is missing, the sooner the authorities can get on it the better chances of a happy ending. I hope he is ok.

Yep found.

He's been found and he has made a statement. Everything's okay, but he has had a rough couple of days.

He's 20.

My hope is that we can back off of this guy and let him be 20. I'm twice his age (and then some) but I bet he's under much more pressure than I am. I think we need to chalk this up to being 20 and move on.

God knows I wouldn't have wanted complete strangers blogging about me when I was 20!

So how about it? Can we take the high road, just this once?

Besides, there's this hilarious thread about Star Jones nearby that is in need of more hysterically delightful spite-filled comments!

*He's* had a rough couple of days??? What about me? I've been up worried all night! What, you don't call? You don't know how to use the phone? Mr. Bigshot on the TV! (now that's more sarcasm than spite)

Well-placed sarcasm, too, topoopon. Thanks for the laugh.

Geez, talk about an overreaction from the manager! No 20-year-old I know wants to be hovered over to that extent. Brown was very nice in his remarks, but the manager needs to take a deep breath.

Hmm... well I'm glad he was found safe. TV Gord, I agree with you that he's probably under a lot of pressure and deserves a little break. It does seem strange that his manager would report this to the media after one day.... Well, glad he's safe and let him be.

Publicity stunt. I hope others realize this too. He did it just to get the spotlight on him and didn't it work! http://www.orlando-brown-missing.info

Yes we have become cynical but my first thought was Publicity stunt. I have no clue who this guy is now I know his name. I'll probably forget it tomorrow but I did rspond to the blog.

I didn't even realize Orlando Bloom was missing. Wait... who? Never heard of him. It would have been a lot funnier with Orlando Bloom though, given all the Pirates of the Caribbean ads on this page.

if it was Orlando Bloom, I'd be heading up the search party I think the issue in this case was that he missed several appointments without calling. That would be concerning.
