Cullen was sexually abused as a child (and later, by others, as an adult), and developed clinical depression. When he was arrested in 1993 for possession of child pornography. The media outcry following his arrest effectively ended his acting career. Although the prosecution accepted that Cullen was storing the material under the duress of his abusers, he was nevertheless sent to prison.

Cullen died in 1996 from complications following surgery to correct a bowel abnormality.
