What Happened to Andrew Keegan?

Andrew Keegan Heying, born on January 29, 1979, in Los Angeles, California, began his acting career as a child, appearing in commercials and print advertisements. He gained early recognition with a supporting role in the film "Camp Nowhere" (1994) and a main role in the sitcom "Thunder Alley" (1994–1995). His profile significantly rose with recurring roles in popular television series like "Party of Five" (1997–1998) and "7th Heaven" (1997–2002), where he played a single teenage father. Keegan's breakout film role came as the antagonist Joey Donner in the hit teen romantic comedy "10 Things I Hate About You" (1999), solidifying his status as a 90s heartthrob.

In the 2000s, Keegan continued to act in films such as "The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy" (2000) and "O" (2001), and had a recurring role in the TV series "Related" (2005–2006). However, his career took a notable turn in the mid-2010s when he founded Full Circle, a spiritual community center in Venice, Los Angeles, in 2014. Described by Keegan as a "non-denominational spiritual community center where people of all beliefs and backgrounds come together to meditate, practice yoga, and engage artistically," Full Circle quickly drew media attention, with some outlets, like Vice, characterizing it as a "new religion" or even a "cult."

Keegan has consistently refuted the 'cult' allegations, explaining in various interviews, including a February 2024 appearance on the "Pod Meets World" podcast, that the media coverage was exaggerated and driven by "clickbait." He described Full Circle as a positive community hub that hosted numerous events and dinner parties, aiming to foster connection and personal growth. The center faced a minor controversy in 2015 when it was raided by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control for selling kombucha without a permit, an incident Keegan later sued Examiner.com over for inaccurate reporting, though the case was dismissed. Full Circle eventually closed its doors in February 2017.

In his personal life, Keegan welcomed a daughter, Aiya Rose, with his partner Arista Ilona Satterlee in March 2016. He has continued to balance fatherhood with his acting career, appearing in films like "Living Among Us" (2018), "Adverse" (2020), and "The Activated Man" (2023). In May 2025, he starred in the psychological thriller "Healing Towers." As of May 2026, Keegan remains active in the entertainment industry. He recently discussed the realities of residual checks from his past work, noting that while "10 Things I Hate About You" still provides the largest payments, many checks are for negligible amounts, sometimes as low as one cent. He also made a return to the stage in New York City in March 2026 for a one-weekend-only murder mystery show, "Cristi's Case Crackers – Once Upon a Time on… Clarantino's Pilot," reflecting his ongoing engagement with diverse acting opportunities.
