Jonathan Brandis' suicide

Wow. All my friends had a crush on him my freshman year of highschool. He was from the town right next to the one where I grew up. Just looking at his IMDB profile, he was still working. I wonder what happened.

Of all the sci-fi kids for this to happen to...grrr.
Where's Wesley Crusher when things like this have to happen???

The whole has-been sci-fi teen community should rally. Of course there's Wil Weaton, but let's not forget Sean Six who played Buck on the Alien Nation series, and Brian Bonsall who played Worf's son on ST:TNG, or Cirroc Lofton who played Jake Sisko on DS9. They could all gather at the funeral, figure out how they'll handle this.

Who's with me here?

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

But I was just talking about his role talking to the dolphin on Seaquest the other day. I'm shocked and horrified.

Looking by the number of replies to this thread, I hope Brandis' suicide wasn't a cry for attention. That would make this all so much more tragic.

I just looked all over that link.

This is who he is:

He played the young genius on Seaquest DSV

This is horribly sad, he was an only child his parents must be devastated.

wasn't he the one who played junior john-boy in the tv serial of IT [we're all floaters down here...]? that is very sad, but if you have only one child you should spend time playing with him, not forcing him to take a difficult and treacherous career from a very young age. obvious, totally.

Apparently the guy hung himself.
