    I just started a thread in this same forum; more can remove it if they want.

    It's such a shame. Based on reports, it looks like it was an unfortunate accident.

    Devastating news. He was just a couple of years younger than me, and if the mixture of indie and studio films he starred in is any indication, had a long career ahead of him. Thoughts with his family and friends.

    Sad news:(

    I'd forgotten I'd seen him in Along came a spider (though I probably saw him first in ER)

    RIP.

    I'm in shock. I saw a tweet about it and I thought it was a joke.

    His career was on an upswing. I heard an interview with him on a movie podcast talking about Green Room and he was very passionate about that role. This kind of reminds me of when Ledger passed away. A young actor who was entering the prime of his career dying so soon and so suddenly.

    This is terrible, and it's just such a shock! My first reaction was Anton Yelchin?! A car accident. *sigh*
    My condolences to his friends and family, and may this fine young man rest in peace. :(
