Death In Entertainment

Kid 90s: The Tragic Tale of Jonathan Brandis (Episode 143 ft. Ben Kissel)


Listen Later

Child stardom is a strange thing. One day you’re on the cover of Tiger Beat, plastered on every teen girl’s locker, and starring on a popular TV show with the guy from "Jaws." The next day, you’re chewed up and spit out like a piece of gum stuck on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. 

Jonathan Brandis was on top of the world at 17. At 27, he was gone. Behind the striking blue eyes and lovable smirk, was a river of sadness. This is the story of a young actor caught between who he was, who he wanted to be, and who the industry thought he should be.
