That's sad. I only heard just a few weeks ago he was ill. I first heard of him with Beverly Hills 90210, back around 1990.
He was only about 18 then, and one of the trendy/cool crowd at that time. It was with that show that I realized the 80's high school/college look of my era had been replaced by a new trend, and that I was officially getting older and replaced by a new generation.
Despite his age, he'll always be the "new generation" to me.
