In the past 24 hours this site had received unconfirmed reports that actor Jonathan Brandis, perhaps best known for his role as child prodigy Lucas Wolenczek on the NBC series SEAQUEST DSV, had died. Unfortunately, that story has now been confirmed.

A recent posting on the official website for official website for THE YEAR THAT TREMBLED, a feature that Brandis starred in, confirms that the young actor has passed on. “We at Novel City Pictures are deeply saddened and stunned by this, and like many people, we grieve for his loss,” reads the statement. “Jonathan was a great actor, and our friend. We send our deepest sympathies to his family, his friends, and his fans. We all miss him very much.”

According to a news report, Brandis’ body was found in his Los Angeles apartment yesterday. The cause of death at this time remains unknown with no signs of violence or foul play on his body. The results of an autopsy should be made available shortly.

Brandis also starred in HART’S WAR, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL, SIDEKICKS and was the lead in THE NEVERENDING STORY II.
