Did he play Cyborg on an episode of Smallville? It is a shame. Gone too soon. May he Rest In Peace.

 

RIP,,

 

Oh, I liked him. God rest his soul.

 

Yes he did, he was in a fair few episodes.

Loosing far too many young men to suicide, lost my best friend earlier this year. There needs to be a massive change in society cos if young women where taking their lives in the same numbers people there would be a shit storm.

 

I will never forget the scene on the first episode of R&I when he threw up after seeing the dead body. He would be missed and I thought he would hook up with Rizzioli.

 

Yeah, I became aware of this guy watching R&I too. Shame. RIP young man...

 

Damn this shit is said. Way too damn young. He was on my short list for people I want to play me in my biopic. What a shame.

 

I am sorry about your friend. :freehug:

 

Very sad to hear.

 

Very sorry about your mate. My condolences.

 

Holy shit! I use to watch that show too! That's messed up!

RIP, bro.
