Yeah, he was annoying at times - Ladybugs, Seaquest DSV, and Sidekicks with Chuck Norris - but he didn't seem like a bad guy...

I thought that he was going to be huge. When I was a kid I saw a lot of Sidekicks and Ladybugs at one time. Also at that time they my brother was obssessed with IT the series. I thought the guy was going to be huge. Its a shame.

From that article:
Paul Peterson, president of A Minor Consideration, an organization that deals with issues affecting child actors, released a statement expressing his sorrow over Brandis' death.
"We are left with a sense of helplessness and perhaps even anger that this thoroughly unexpected death occurred when we have spent years developing resources to deal with any and all crisis situations," Peterson's statement read. "This one hurts. What more can we say?"
Doesn't sound like he's sad about it, it sounds like his pissed that he didn't get commission on the suicide counselling. Jerkoff.

Just read about it on CNN.
My favorite line in "Ladybugs" is when Rodney Dangerfield yells out "ATTA BOY MARTHA!"
