Yeah, he is.

It's believed to be suicide. Sad.

You star on a tv show and have a solid income. I'll never know what could make someone want to kill themselves being in a situation like that.

I think Hollywood makes you a little crazier than you were before it and you have to be a lot of crazy to make it in hollywood and stay in it


Then you add in youve been around hollywood your whole life and its a recipe for disaster

Depression affects all types of people. Money really has nothing to do with it.

He more than had the resources to get over it though. I did. And I don't have near the resources he does.

His character on Flash Forward committed suicide which is a bit weird.

I prefer to remember him as Sam from Johnny Tsunami.

Goodnight, sweet prince.

You say this like you can just pump money into your brain and it cures mental illness.

You're lucky. Some people with depression aren't even in the right mental state to try and get help or "fix" it. A lot of times people kill themselves, leave a note saying how depressed they were and their family/friends had no idea. Trust me. I've witnessed it first hand.
