Stephen Collins (Rev. Eric Camden)
Before playing Protestant minister and Camden family patriarch Eric on 7th Heaven, Stephen Collins had an impressive résumé that included roles in films like All the President's Men (1976) and Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).
After the show wrapped, Collins continued to act on the small screen with appearances on Private Practice, No Ordinary Family, Devious Maids, and Revolution.
But it was his personal life that overshadowed his career when, in 2014, Collins admitted to sexually abusing three underage women. He later released a public apology, stating: "I deeply regret the mistakes I've made and any pain I have caused these three women. I admit to, apologize for, and take responsibility for what I did."
