He was in the movie Stand By Me, a film adaptation of the Stephen King novela "The Body". It's probably the best role he's ever had, and it was before he was the worst thing in Star Trek: TNG. He's had a few other roles that I can't think of, but he's mostly known for being the crybaby kid in TNG, being a feminist soyboy cuck on the internet, and playing himself on a mediocre sitcom that panders to nerds. His talent and life peaked before he was old enough to legally buy booze.
He was good in Stand By Me for the same reason Emma Watson was good in the early Harry Potter movies. He was supposed to play an awkward, gangly kid who cried because everyone hated him... and he was, in fact, an awkward, gangly kid who cried because everyone hated him. Then he grew up into an awkward, fat adult who cries because everyone hates him and suddenly he doesn't fit into roles so well anymore. Just like Emma Watson was good as Hermione because she was in fact a bossy, self-important little girl, but now that she's grown up into a bossy, self-important adult you realize that her actual acting range is limited to staring at things with her jaw slightly agape.
