Notable Individual from Westlake Village, Los Angeles, Born with a Gift for Acting
In the 1980s, this remarkable young talent burst onto the scene as a popular child actor, although his roles were often limited to small but significant parts in the majority of the films he appeared in. One of his most iconic and memorable performances was as the central character "Horace" or "Fat Kid" in the cult classic, The Monster Squad, released in 1987.
Throughout the late 1980s, he continued to hone his craft by taking on various television roles, including appearances on the hit series Quantum Leap and the 1988 dance special, Dance Til Dawn. Despite his early promise, his acting career failed to gain traction as he transitioned into adulthood, and he eventually pursued a different path.
With a renewed sense of purpose, he enrolled in law school and began working for a legal firm in the United States. Tragically, his life was cut short on December 9th, 1997, when he passed away at the age of 22 due to complications from pneumonia in Las Vegas, Nevada.
