	Actors - Jonathan Brandis

Jonathan Gregory Brandis (April 13, 1976 – November 12, 2003) was an American film and television actor, the only child of Greg and Mary Brandis of Danbury, Connecticut.

He received his first starring role in The NeverEnding Story II, and went on to appear primarily in television roles. Of these, he is most famous for his portrayal of scientific prodigy Lucas Wolenczak in Steven Spielberg's futuristic science fiction series seaQuest DSV. Also he is well known for voicing Mozenrath in Disney's Aladdin the television series, who resembles him somewhat.

During his lifetime he was romantically linked to Tatyana Ali, Heather McComb, Vinessa Shaw, and Monica Keena. He accompanied actress Brittany Murphy to her high school prom.

He expressed an interest in moving his career towards more directing work rather than acting, although he had auditioned for the role of Anakin Skywalker in George Lucas' Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

On 12 November 2003, Brandis died from injuries he suffered after hanging himself the previous day. He was 27 years old. The Los Angeles Police Department released a statement about his death, as follows:

:On November 11, 2003, at about 11:40 p.m., a friend of Jonathan Brandis called police to report that the actor had attempted suicide at his apartment, located in the 600 block of Detroit Avenue. Paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire department responded and transported Brandis to Cedars Sinai Medical Center where he eventually died from his injuries. Brandis was pronounced dead by hospital staff on November 12, 2003, at about 2:45 p.m." ().
