'Trembled' Actor Dies

Actor Jonathan Brandis, 27, who starred in the movie "The Year That Trembled," which was filmed in Ohio, was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment Wednesday. Brandis, 27, was found by friends and pronounced dead at a hospital, according to the Los Angeles coroner's office. There were no signs of violence. An autopsy was due to be performed yesterday, an investigator said. "The Year That Trembled," produced by Tyler Davidson and Scott Lax, who were living in the Cleveland area at the time, was filmed in Ohio and premiered at the Cleveland International Film Festival in 2002. Brandis played Casey Pedersen, a young man who is caught up in the turmoil of the Vietnam War. "It's a terrific tragedy, and our hearts go out to the family," said Davidson, who now lives in Los Angeles.

His biggest claim to fame was "SeaQuest DSV."

Damn shame.

OMG, this is terrible. I remember him from the movie Ladybugs and "It" on tv, which also starred John Ritter. That's sad, he was a young guy, I wondered what happened.

OMG, I used to have the biggest crush on him when I was like 12.. This is so sad.. RIP Jonathan

I used to watch seaQuest all the time, it was one of my favorites. This is very sad news. I've read that it's only been reported on that Cleveland website because there is possible foul play involved with his death.

That's too bad. Much too young to die.

First up was Broadway actress Dorothy Loudon and then, it was Jonathan Brandis. He died young too. That was sad.

...........you've gotta be kidding me. I watched him on SeaQuest, the sequel to the Neverending Story.. Sidekicks with Chuck Norris, and I always liked him. I can't friggin' believe this.

AKA · 11-19-2003, 12:16 AM

He might not be dead. This is an old Internet rumor that may have reared its ugly head again, this time with a vengeance. Stay tuned.

It better be an internet rumor.

He's not listed as dead yet on imdb, but he is dead on dead or alive and unfortunately, they're usually never wrong.
