Mindler went to the first two days of his fall semester classes on Monday and Tuesday, but did not attend classes on Wednesday or Thursday morning, per the university.
School officials said a missing person’s report was filed on Wednesday night after the 19-year-old had not come back to his room or returned phone calls from his family.
In addition to his role in “Our Idiot Brother,” Mindler has appeared on “As The World Turns” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”
His mother told The Morning Call that her son hadn’t acted in a few years; his most recent role, per IMDb, was in Fox’s 2016 pilot for the Nasim Pedrad sitcom “Chad.”
