It was Furlong talent and his ability that convinced Mali Finn that he is the perfect choice for this role. When Furlong entered the Film Industry, his parents Eleanor and step father Moises Torres were divorced. They had another son i.e. Edward’s half-brother named Robert Torres.

This was one of the many years that these two retained Edward’s custody before he got himself emancipated when he was only 16. His Aunt and Uncle also worked as his managers. It was his relationship with the then 29-year old Jacqueline Domac that caused the split between him and his aunt and uncle.

Jacqueline Domac worked as his stand-in and tutor for the most part and also his manager. They were engaged and were about to be married when they had a split in 1998. Later in 1999, Domac filed a case against Furlong accusing him of physical abuse and suing him for not paying her for her role as his manager.
