At the age of three, Corey appeared in his first commercial. After that he has appeared in over 100 commercials and 50 TV series. At that time, his mother Sheila Feldman acted as his manager. Coley had later said that he was forced by his parents to take up all these assignments.

At the age of fifteen, he was legally granted emancipation from them. According to him, he was worth $1 million by then; but when the accounts were opened, it had only $40,000. After this incidence, he started a movement called ‘Emancipation Proclamation of Hollywood’.

Corey started his career at the age of three by starring in CLIO Award winning Macdonald commercial. He then made guest appearance in number of television series such as’ One Day at a Time’ (1975), ‘Alice’ (1976), ‘Eight is Enough’ (1977) and ‘Mock & Mindy’ (1978).
