Thank you guys for covering this. There's barely ANYTHING out there that covers the life of this wonderful young man. Sometimes it's like he never existed
Same! My best friend and I absolutely pined for him and Eddie Furlong. We used to imagine one of us married to Eddie, the other to Johnathan and we'd all grow old together. I was really sad when Brandis died. I had a chat with someone via RUclips comments who says she was either his aunt or cousin (It was a while ago, I can't remember) but she SWEARS he didn't off himself and that it was a setup. She seemed so sincere but you never know these days. Rest in peace, JB. ❤
@@tt8807 in my teen years it was covered by Michael J. Fox, The Two Coreys, Michael Jackson, New Kids On The Block, Madonna, River Phoenix and Bruce Lee. He became super popular after my teen years ended. From 1990 to 1997 he was on top of the World. He just gave up too soon. I feel super bad for him. Rejections Suck, especially from probably the biggest industry on Earth
I was obsessed with this man since the SideKicks movie with Chuck Norris (since I was a little kid in the 90s). He's one celebrity I'll never forget, and a death I'll never get over. 😔 To go from getting 4000 fan letters a day, seeing his own face on the covers of countless magazines every week, and needing three security guards to make his way to the film set- to being a completely unknown face and name in the entertainment industry (to the point that all of his scenes were cut from a major film) has _got_ to be an extreme fall that most humans can't mentally bounce back from. I so wish that his life and career panned out differently. I'll never stop loving his work, and hope that he is at peace now. 🙏🏿
Bruce Willis was not in Sidekicks. His father was played by Beau Bridges, and his mentor was played by Mako, who did the voice of Uncle Iroh and also passed away.
@TheGenTatsu I meant to say _Chuck Norris,_ lol. I'll edit it from 'Bruce Willis'. 😅 I'm not American, so I haven't kept up with most of the other celebrities there. I believe it was the 2002 film *Hart's War* that he worked alongside Bruce Willis.
Guaranteed. He was also bullied and threatened by Joe Piscopo in “Sidekicks” which really messed him up, similar to Corey Haims experience with Peter Weller in his debut film.
Hollowod llove to put the boys in dresses . .. i loved lady bug as a kid but a lot of the humor that revolved around him being a (girl) really really didn't age well...
I had shity parents like his character and connected with the emotional scene he had. I was obsessed with him after that. I would write to his advice column in the Bop magazine but never got anything back 😔 It's really sad he's gone. And I don't think he meant to die. My opinion is he thought his friends would have saved him 😢
I remember being so devasted when I heard of his passing. In my niave teen brain I could not understand why someone like him, who seemed to have it all, could check out that way. Mental health was just not talked about then. It was a " suck it up buttercup" and "just get over it, fix it, or bitching doesn't solve anything" kind of era.
He was probably slammed in the ass (like all big actors) and promised to be a big time movie star and when his career hit rock bottom he couldn't live with the guilt and off'd himself
Thankyou for highlighting someone so memorable from our childhood, I definitely had posters of him on my wall and on my book covers. I am sad that not only did he pass way too young but todays generation have no idea who he is. Even if they have seen the sequel to the Neverending story they still have no concept of what he meant to the generation that precedes them. For international audiences Seaquest DSV was the biggest show on network television. For the Australian audience we did not have cable tv, we only had access to a handful of channels so shows like this were a very big deal, every household watched it.
There's sooo many blockbuster films he would have been perfect in. It breaks my heart cos he was so talented and soooo good looking he had it all...He was just never given the chance as an older guy to prove what he had. ❤
I’ll always remember Jonathan from 1990’s IT 🤡 I’m a huge SK fan and I watched IT over and over again and I just thought Jonathan was SO DREAMY AND HANDSOME 😍and a talented actor ! Also thought he was great in Ladybugs lol I’m a few years older than Jonathan, my first celebrity crush/love was and always will be Corey Haim, another tragic Hollywood star ❤ They were both so talented and both met such tragic endings 😢💔 I pray they both found the peace they so desperately needed ❤ May they both forever RIP ❤️🫶🏻❤️🫶🏻
I loved him in the 90s! I remember writing to his fan club and got a signed picture in return. I was shocked and so sad when I heard he took his own life. 😢
Thank you for this Ep! I always wondered what happened to him. I loved his movies and just loved his voice. 2003 was when I became a mom and met my husband and life really just started for me. It breaks my heart he never got to really live life and enjoy what comes after the teenage and young adult dramas!
My mom use to tease me because I would watch ladybugs everytime it was on and after about 5 times watching it she realized it was because I loved Johnathan Brandis, she would tease me relentlessly. As embarrassing as it was then I would kill to go back to that time when my mom was still alive teasing me over my crushes and I would get excited over certain shows and movies would be on after school... before life got so hard and feelings got so complicated.
I knew him from SeaQuest, Lucas was my favorite character, I related a lot to him. I am sad that he didn´t get to be in more stuff. I do think he would've been great as Anakin tbh.
In an interview, Leonardo DiCaprio recalled auditioning for commercials with other child stars, making friends while trying out. He remembered one that fatally overdosed (Pettiet) and another that hanged himself (Brandis).
The last thing I saw him in was the movie "Outside Providence" it was a great, underrated film that I recommend to everyone who likes touching comedy vehicles with a superb cast.
It's sad that he past away so young he was and is so handsome his smile could light up anything poor guy I wish we could see how handsome u would of turned out to be in your old self u will never be forgotten rip johnathon
My thoughts on how Leo d got more rolls... He was around predators and was ok with being in the casting couch if you know what I mean. Jonathan was also around all these pedos but did not allow them to touch him. I miss Johnathan... I think he was an excellent actor and such a beautiful soul 😞
I feel like titanic would have been just as good with him as it was with Leo. Same look same affect same cadence if speech. Just the dice man just the dice! He was just too good looking where as Leo has a loose bolt edge to him ya know like he could kill you 😂 Brandi’s was just too sweet looking to pass off as someone with an edge.
16:10 - I’m absolutely certain every boy i went to middle school with had the shirt he’s wearing in this scene. I was generally a typical adolescent girl regarding crushes (although not yet identifying as bi), but I never understood this teen celebrity boy crazy stuff, or most of pop culture, or most of the way other girls/kids that age thought and behaved. And that hasn’t changed as I’ve grown older. Physical attraction has always been secondary to relating to someone’s personality/mind, I can recognize when someone might be considered attractive, but I’m only attracted to strangers if there’s something about them that reminds me of the one person I have real feelings for, and I’m able to separate that from any idea of being interested in someone else. So there’s been a lot of times when I found it hard to relate to other girls or women gabbing about “how hot so and so is”. I know I’m not alone in this, but I think I must also be in a minority regarding it. BTW, I hope it doesn’t sound like I think that makes me superior in any way. I mean, when I was a teen/tween I did feel some animosity and disdain towards the kids I couldn’t relate to on the this stuff, but that hasn’t been the case for a long time, even if I still don’t get it. And, of course, Brandis probably had a lot less control over his public image than he should have had, especially when he was a minor. I had no idea what happened to him or that he was suffering from poor mental health. I’m sure I did a lot of eye-rolling over his pictures being posted up on locker doors, and I don’t know how to feel about that now. It’s so sad his life ended the way it did. I hope he’s having an absolutely better time of it, wherever he is now.
I never knew they dated, I was born in 86 so I was alot younger than these celebrities at the time but growing up I adored Tati and Jonathan. I really loved the work she did in Are You Afraid of The Dark and Ladybugs is one of my favorite movies, Jackée Harry was hilarious in it. Not to mention his work in the movie IT, there was no other actor that could have made the part. Both so beautiful and talented. It's such a terrible shame he couldn't find the purpose he needed to get through those hard times in his life. The pressures in those industries are something we can't imagine. It's a vicious world out there. Rest in peace Mr. Brandis, we really miss you. 💔⭐
I wished he'd saught help. And it's worth remembering the tale of Josh Brolin who after a brief teen heart throb career in the 80's himself actually realised he was not a good enough actor and did a lot of studying and theater in the 90's rather than exposing himself to bad movies or just quitting. I wish someone had told him that it's possible. Seemed like a nice dude
Dang he was six years older than me but still had the greatest crush on him. First on full house a small role but I still miss him. Who didn’t he was gorgeous. Shame he took his own life so young and so talented. Yeah still Brandi’s is and now is better than Leo in my opinion.
Yeah his mother did say that she thought it was the Accutane medicine he was taking that might of course his depression alot of people that were on Accutane had an increased depression when taking the medication
Had a huge crush on him in my child and then teen years. I remember when him and Tatiana were dating and they were the huge couple of that time. It's sad what he went through. You can also look at mental health too and how back then they didn't have a normalization as they do these days. Now you have names like Demi Lovato who are open with their struggles and how they are healing where back then I'm sure if he even went to a therapist it would be all over the gossip mags just going after him for being 'crazy'.
And he came up during the time when all the young boys were being groomed and no one knows what kind of stuff he went through and why he stopped getting the big rolls who did he not participate with in a casting couch kind of situation... Or who did he get pimped out to when he was underage and he had a hard time dealing with that as an adult.
Some died so young it feels like they were not real. He’s one of them. Can we trade DiCaprio for River and Johnathan? They would have done more with their notoriety.
I agree that river and Johnathan are missed, but let's trade DiCaprio? That's a wild thing to say. One of the best actors in the world with multiple Oscar nominations and a win. Raises millions of dollars to fight global warming. "They would have done more" is an insane leap from reality.
Many, many actors found themselves in the same plight, how many of those kill themselves versus those that continue to live? There was more preying on Brandis than just life circumstances. Onward with his career, he should have never left California for Florida and should have left Seaquest after the first season. Sidenote, him and Tatyana stopped dating in 98. Not 2001. She toured with Nsync in 98.
Weird he was found hanging in his hallway of his apartment .. not starting any conspiracy theories up but that doesn’t make sense that he wouldn’t do it in his own apartment.. very sad ! Rip JB .. prob would of done well if he stuck around
His friends were in his apartment, that’s why. But then it begs the question, who tries to hang themselves when someone could easily walk out in time to see them do it? It sounds like he wanted to be stopped
I could have swarn he was gay. I thought i remembered that coming out in the past. Im 44 so i was the right age to have seen all his stuff. As i look back now- that doesn't seem to have been the case. He never got into drugs like a lot of his piers. Its too bad that things went that way for him. He would have had a resurgence for sure come the 2010s.
A movie he was fantastic in, but no one talks about, is Ride With The Devil. Not a huge role, but every scene he was in was great. Fucking bummer he couldn’t see what everyone else did
Thank you guys for covering this. There's barely ANYTHING out there that covers the life of this wonderful young man. Sometimes it's like he never existed

He was bipolar as his dad said
@meanwhome doesn't exist
He was amazing in 'IT' the TV series/film.
Yes!!
The transition from TV star to movie star was way harder back then as well. It didn't happen as often as it does now.
Not really and he was better known for his early movies.

It's super sad. He gave up too soon.
He did direct a film too. The Slainsville Boys. It premiered at an indie film festival after he was dead
There are soo many child stars/teen stars who ended up taking their own lives and nobody talks about it. It’s terribly sad.

His friends were in his apartment, that’s why. But then it begs the question, who tries to hang themselves when someone could easily walk out in time to see them do it? It sounds like he wanted to be stopped
He had just done ride with the devil with tobe McGuire he just needed to be patient played lead in Stephen King's IT
Part of the 27 club. Dead at 27, like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, etc
Loved him
My bedroom had his posters to 😢
IT 1990
You should have started with that.
He was in the It mini series also
So sad. He definatly could have had a great adult career.
I could have swarn he was gay. I thought i remembered that coming out in the past. Im 44 so i was the right age to have seen all his stuff. As i look back now- that doesn't seem to have been the case. He never got into drugs like a lot of his piers. Its too bad that things went that way for him. He would have had a resurgence for sure come the 2010s.
I was always remember hearing that he wasn’t straight too.
A movie he was fantastic in, but no one talks about, is Ride With The Devil. Not a huge role, but every scene he was in was great. Fucking bummer he couldn’t see what everyone else did
His name is Brandis not Brandon !!!!!!!!
Why does no one mention him in the original IT
