Actress Ashley Johnson, known for her role on the '90s sitcom 'Growing Pains', has revealed that she was nearly kidnapped from the set when she was 6 or 7 years old. Johnson recounted the story on the 'Weird Kids' podcast, describing how a man grabbed her while she was walking with her mother and started running. She recalled that security eventually wrestled the man down, and that he had a gun. Johnson said a fan had written to the show ahead of time threatening to bring a gun and murder cast members. The man was taken to jail. Johnson played Chrissy Seaver on 'Growing Pains' from 1990 to 1992, and the incident occurred during her first year of filming.
