Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Jonathan Brandis. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Jonathan Brandis is most commonly known for his role as Lucas Wolenczak in the action-packed series SeaQuest DSV, however he has been in many other great projects including The Neverending Story II and The Year that Trembled. Although not everyone has heard of him, he was much more than a simple young actor: he had immense depth, and true talent, even beyond he field of acting. Jonathan Brandis showed true passion and devotion for his work, and was one of the very few actors who stuck with SeaQuest until the very end in 1996. After SeaQuest, he seemed to fade slightly out of favor, which I believe was a mistake, because he has a way of making each of his projects special.
Jonathan Brandis was a superbly intense, and spectacular actor, and could have made so many more classics, were he still with us today. He will always be one of my top favorite actors, and certainly never forgotten.
jonathan brandis should have been more famous than he was and it saddens me that he is no longer here with us to brighten our days with his all time beautiful and charming smile prettiest smile i have ever seen for a male. and whats worse is that his death could have and should have been prevented and it was not all the signs were there but no one listened to them no one picked up on them and thats not right espically his friends (well actually only his friends) im not including his parents on this but his friends should have listened to him and got him the help he needed but they did not and i am sure that to this day they blame theirselves.
Even though more than 2 years have passed since his death I still get unbelievably sad everytime I think about the fact that he's gone. Jonathan was the reason I watched seaQuest DSV, he did an amazing job as Lucas. And, I loved him in Neverending Story 2, he was a great Bastien. Jonathan was talented and should have gone far, his death was an inmeasurable loss to the entertainment industry and to the world. I will keep reading the fanfics (although the ELF ones are painful to read now), and I will buy the seaQuest dvds, that way a part of him will always be with us.
Hardly anyone realizes how huge of an impact Jonathan Brandis had on the world. His hairstyle --which he could never realy control-- became the most popular style of the ninties. He could make you laugh one second, and cry the next. He was a genius at acting. Many actors today could learn a thing or two from Jonathan. He never got involved with drugs, was active in the community, and had a good heart. He was an incredible writer with a broad imagination, strong will to succeed, and tons of energy. He practicly glowed. He was intelligent, versitile, funny, and brilliant. It's because of his character Lucas Wolenczak that computer nerds were given a "cool" image. I'll never forget him. Thanks Jon! Always got your back, J.
One I can't belive he is GONE! I never heard anything about it. 3 years later-today- I do a search to figure out if he done anything resently and I find out he's gone.
Why? Is all I can say? Well you will be remembered and greatly loved!
My heart goes out to all the fans and his Parents!
peace
