Yeah, Jon Brandis is a great actor and he gave up because he couldn't find any more acting jobs. But there other opportunities out there than acting. I guess it's hard to find something without people telling you you " Hey! You're that SeaQuest Kid!". Still, Jon is stronger than that. I don't know what came over him when he did that. He could go to school to find another career. I guess the depressed person couldn't see the answer that is right in front of him. The irony to him, is that Jon Brandis used to write an advice column in BOP or BB to help kids out with their problems including suicide.
(sigh, he just need jesus that's all)...

I am scared to ask this question in the sense that I think I already know the answer. He wasn't a Christian was he? *sighs*

I don't think so. Maybe you were thinking about Thomas Ian Nicholas?

I didn't know if he was or not. Man, that just sucks... I hate that. Such a talented young man kills himself.

*tries to look on the positive side* Well, maybe there is a reason for his death. Maybe something good will come of it. And I do hope they post more on the situation. When was the exact date of his death? Did it say on the site? (I didn't notice it if it did.)

November 12, 2003, according to imdb.com.

That site also says that he'd auditioned to play Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. That gets me thinking...why would they have cut him? Hayden Christensen was terrible in that movie...but then again, so was Natalie Portman and a few other people who actually are good actors. REALLY good. The movie was just REALLY bad. But still...if he had that role, it definitely would have put him out there again.
