I remember the first time I saw Seaquest DSV and saw Jonathan in the role of Lucas the computer genius. I thought to myself, "Here is a kid who is going places." He was about the same age as Leonardo DiCaprio and I think, had he lived, would have surpassed DiCaprio as one of the greatest actors of all time. Probably another Nicholson or DiNiro. Not only did he possess talent and creativity but also possessed a sweet, gentle and gracious spirit, qualities so rare inboth Hollywood and the world at large. Hollywood had a rare jewel and they treated him terrible! What a loss!!
Yes, he was very talented and also quite underrated as an actor, in my opinion. The short film he directed was also really good and held a lot of promise. He is very much missed.
You were such a beautiful person. I remember seeing you on the Jon Stewart show and you smiled but I saw a great sadness. I blame Hollywood for making you feel you weren't good enough. They wouldn't give you the chance to prove you were a star and that you could shine....but they never let you. You are sorely missed by many, but never forgotten. Rest in peace. I wish you would of had a friend who could of stopped you and told you how good you were....Just deeply saddened.
How sad.. I always remember Jonathan Brandis in the "Never Ending Story " as a kid it was one of my favorites. Rest with Angels brother, hope you found peace.
I can't explain it but learning of Jonathan Brandis' passing for the first time only this month has had a profound affect on me. I'm deeply saddened that anyone, and him no less, could think their life was not worth living. And there is nothing anyone can do to bring him back....he's gone. He made a permanent decision to a temporary problem.
I didn't know until a few months ago that Brandis had passed. I will largely remember him in the role of "Barry" from the film "Sidekicks" which I had much in common. I was a young teenager in middle school when I saw the film. Small, wiry, awkward, bullied, and suffering my parent's divorce, I looked to Sidekicks for hope that my situation would improve, and it has. I would like to thank Brandis for helping me through those horrible, tumultuous years. I am terribly sad that he is gone.
JONATHAN'S DEATH IS A SCREAM ADDRESSED TO OUR CONSCIENCE. WE SHOULD ALWAYS EXPRESS OUR LOVE TO PEOPLE WE VALUE, ESPECIALLY TO SENSITIVE PEOPLE, ARTISTS WHO MAY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH LIFE, OTHERS AND THEMSELVES ( AS OFTEN ARTISTS DO ) SHOW OUR LOVE TO THEM IN MANY WAYS. ALSO BE INTERESTED IN THEIR LIVES, THEIR PROBLEMS, THEIR PERSONALITIES. GIVE THEM WHOLE SELF, OUR PERSONAL WARMTH, OUR ENGAGEMENT, OUR CARE, AS THEY GIVE US STUFF WHICH ARE GREAT, TIMELESS AND NOTABLY VALUABLE.
Jonathan amigo de todo corazón gracias por tus películas tan bellas ahora estad en la dimensión del silencio don de reina la luz divina que te rodea como el sol adiós PARA siempre
is very difficult to see stories of this class because one of them grows with meaning through the screen and entristese desenlaze like this to anyone, a person with so much talent and such a bright future perhaps they just needed a friend: ( R.I.P. God bless and mercy of his soul.
I am so sorry to hear that this talented young man is no longer with us. The Neverending Story 2 will always have a special place in my heart as I watched this with my daughter and still put it in every now and then. As a parent I can only imagine the anguish his parents must suffer everyday. My heart goes out to them and for the person who made this video possible, thank you. You can tell it was done with much love and what a beautiful tribute. God Bless! We Loved you Jonathan in everything.
This is not him who died. He will remain young and handsome forever. This is WE who had died, we as we were during our childhood and youth. Thanks for wonderful playing in the films and series that warmed our better days! Rest in peace Jonathan.
I didn't know this guy died. Probably would have had a big comeback at some point. Too many people knew him from a lot of movies. I remember taking a picture of him to the barber when I was a kid. I wanted my hair just like his. I never pulled it off like him though. RIP brother.
Johnathon was an amazing kid actor on SEAQUEST DSV. How he played his part on that show was just simply well done. The Producers and Directors should be proud to had him on their show. Well done Lucas. Darwin will be proud of you.
I just recently discovered that he had passed.I feel very sad for his family,friends and fans.I m in my twenties but I love to watch 80's and 90's movies.I have seen his movies and I must say he was so talented.Miss him and you will always be remember Jonathan RIP
I can't believe he killed himself i wish i could of help. My sisters used to be in love with him, we watched all of his movies. Is very sad, he was so young.
I'm only 14 and I grew up watching stephen kings IT I mean it's one of my favorite scary movies of all time and I decided to look up the cast of the movie and I looked up BILLY first and to my surprise I find out the unspeakable has happened this really affected me because he thought he was unworthy and untalented and not worth this world if only he could see the loving devoted fans he does have and if he would have known how special he was to all of us..... I fell in love with him when I watched IT since I was a kid and I haven't stopped but now I can't meet u because Ur not on earth anymore ur in heaven rip jonathan I love u 💖 I will forever be one of ur biggest fans and I can't wait to meet u up in heaven! Rip jonathan we love u
Love the tribute. I am only 20 and did not really get to know him as an actor until after he died and it was so sad. I first saw him on seaQuest I have home for a holiday when my mom was watching the show I really got into watching him and when I went to reseach him for his other works I hound out he had died a few months earlier it was so sad.
broke me heart , I had a huge crush on him when I saw him in IT when i was 7 or 8 and I saw him on Full House . I was curious to see what he was up too and saw that he passed away . broke mynheart and I rewatched IT and it just wasn't the same . RIP . hope he iss in a better place .
Ilysm man this is truly heartbreaking to find out it’s almost 16 years with out you, we miss you and you will always be in our hearts, I just wish I got a chance to meet you before it all ended😔💔🕊
I know Jonathan from the great Civil War movie Ride With the Devil; learned of his suicide and felt such a loss. Doubtless having to enter the brutal, competitive world of child modeling deprived him of a normal childhood. He should have gotten the hell out of Hollywood when his career started to wane.
Yeah, he was very talented, Seth.... can't believe that almost eleven years have gone since he passed away. I hope he is resting in peace and may God take care of him.
We will miss him no one knew he would do that every one wish they could have been their for him what we can do is be their for others who suffing with depression that's what he would have wanted
Heyy Brother, by the sounds of it, you are Truly Deeply Missed by Many. Sorry to hear that you went through depression and all even though you did not choose it. Always Love watching You on Seaquest DSV, Always Loved how You and Darwin had a Connection. If only Darwin knew what you were going through, im sure Darwin would have been a Great Support. Love, Kisses and Hugs to You Brother. Sending Love from a Huge Fan in Brisbane, Australia “Til we meet again” 🕊
I still have my childhood crush feelings for him. Still can't fathom the fact that he's been gone for nearly 10 years. He will always be remembered, oh that beautiful face. :')
+raindropsinclouds a tribute to great depth..............................this part of the heart.......Someone can give me the name of the song? .......... Please
Thanks... My fav actor, My heart breaks when I heard that he died. I love all his movies.. talented young man, growing up watching his movies and dress like him... it is season.. The story neverending was awesome and Sea Quest.. Lucas Walencheck..
Very touching. Interesting version of this song (never heard it before). Your clips matched very well with the lyrics. Thank you for sharing it with me!
I all was loved him as one of my favorite actors growing up and all his work was classic movie /storey telling had a repeating dream we were friends in the see quest world as a kid and was hart broken When he died to young x(
I was just going through my old movies and I stumbled upon the never ending story I had also watched this since I was about 3 and I can't help but cry because I loved this movie so much and basically just figured out u played the boy.... I remember having the biggest crush on u and saying that I would marry u..... 😊 I was a fan from the start jonathan I always loved u..... I wish u would have known that, I wish u would have known we all loved u
I didn't know this I use to have a crush when I was a kid Wow just wow. now he is home coming from God and back to god he goes .much love to him and his family
siento que no te has ido amigo ese recuerdo de tu vida que inspiro tantas cosas sigue vigente fuiste un ser excepcional el universo te enseña el infinito adiós para siempre
I will always miss him forever, he deserved way more than life could ever give him. I hope he's happy in paradise, he will never be forgotten as he's always in my heart ❤️😇
Such a tragic end, he was one of the finest young actors I had ever seen... The permanent solution to the temporary problem is never the answer, in this case especially...
Wow!! Tears!!!!! This is beautiful! He is surely missed. Man i remember that fateful dsy in 2003. Sometimes jt feels like yesterday. It never gets easier.
Wow I recently found out he died as well. Smh. . . This was great, he was great. I watch sidekicks and ladybugs to this day because of him. I even followed Seaquest, he will be missed
you know i was born in 1998 and i knew him 4 weeks ago, my dream was meeting him because my dad said he was a very great actor. when i saw this.. i cried for more than 3 hours.. knowing my dream wouldn't come true.
siempre te recordare mi niño lindo de historia sin fin jonathab brandis ahora estas viviendo una historia con un final feliz junto a nuestro creador HASTA SIEMPRE JONATHAN BRANDIS 😢❤
He was a very handsome guy and I'm les. RIP man
Me too just like my crush

He was a good kid to a lot of people

Best comment ever. Thank you for saying this exactly the way you said it.
Yes, he was very talented and also quite underrated as an actor, in my opinion. The short film he directed was also really good and held a lot of promise. He is very much missed.
Was this short film called slainville? I don't remember at the moment but will look it up again,
I AM ONLY TEN YEARS OLD. THE VERY FIRST MOVIE I EVER SAW OF HIM WAS 1990 IT. THE VERY FIRST TIME I SAW HIM, I FELL IN LOVE.
R.I.P JON

Rest in peace, Johnathan. You were a talented, brilliant young man. Blessed be.
We saw your talent when you thought others didn't. Very sad you didnt get the recognition you so deserved. Your sorely missed.

Must had been quite a surprise 😮
Never hated anyone after death. This will be my first one. Such potential, such a figure and he threw his life away.....
I swear I'm in love with him and it pains me that I can never have any chance of meeting him.

I admire this handsome guy from his early movie Never Ending Story. Gone too soon. RIP Jonathan Brandis

Yeah, he was very talented, Seth.... can't believe that almost eleven years have gone since he passed away. I hope he is resting in peace and may God take care of him.
I cry every time I think about him but I remember to think of the good not the bad he was an amazing person
