I think it's sad that they judge the way a person died like this..he was still an amazing young man.  |

What in God's name? By all means, include the man.. what are they.. pretending he didn't die just because he committed suicide? Well, suicide is a method of death, however controversial it may be.  |

I think he should be included. Just because he committed suicide does't make him bad or different. What about the people that pass away from drug overdoses, don't they include then in tribute reels? I think that drug overdose is a form of suicide.  |

I hope they do decide to include him in, if they wanted to exclude people for stuff there are so many more things that they should pick on. Philandering and stuff like that.  |

Mrs. Strider I'm talking about the 5-10 minute film reel that they play during the awards show the year of their death. |

Mrs. Strider I'm just talking about 'year of'. He passed away in the past year, not for year to come. Just for inclusion in the awards shows of the year, which Brandis in particular will be the Academy Awards |

I believe he should still get a tribute. I still can't believe he committed suicide. I use watch that show he was on all the time. He was a great actor.  |

I didn't watch that Sassy Girl, but I really loved Stephen King's It and Ladybugs. I think if he had stuck it through a rough patch in his career he would of made it out alright. |

Well, if Kurt kobain gets tributes then Jonathan Brandis should. But anyways I didnt know he committed suicide?? Thats such a bummer, he was such a huge crush of mine when I was younger.  |

Me too Apryl. Shai Beauty I admit it too, I thought he was cute when I was younger, especially around 'It' time. Dizzy Me I couldn't believe it either, I didn't know the guy personally or anything, but when there is someone around the same age bracket as you, I guess it makes it harder to believe. 27 is so young, there was so much more in store for him if he had only waited. I had read that he tried out for the Star Wars movies and was sad that he didn't get that (I think he went up for Anakin) and he had a part in a Bruce Willis movie and most of his scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. |

He was a childhood star tragedy. What a shame. It's still surprising to me. |

Are you sure that excludes him? When Brian Keith (the Dad in the original Parent Trap movie and the uncle in "Family Affair" committed suicide, he was still included in all the tributes. I think the rule is that they must be a current SAG or AFTRA member at the time of death. Was Jonathan Brandis a current member when he died? If so, he will likely be included.  |

Oh, and David Strickland from "Suddenly Susan." I know he was tributed at the Emmy's at least after he committed suicide. |

He deserved to be honored for his contributions as a child, and teen star. I do not believe that would have been condoning, or glorifying his suicide. I feel so sorry for him. Hollywood did not treat him well. Especially after he died, and became a footnote.  |

Charmlit I'm in the same boat as you. There is something very ominous (sp?) about the age of 27, I'll PM you about it later and put it on here or do a post...later. |

Melodious I talked about it with Mrs. Strider over PM and my guess (she brought up Keith too) that it might have to with level of popularity. Keith was definately a bigger name and had done more in his career. They excluded him from the Golden Globes. I'm trying to tap into the memory bank here and remember if they did anything for Glenn Quinn and when he died (drug overdose) Glenn Quinn hasn't done much for movies, I mean I remember him in Dr. Giggles, he was more TV (the older sisters husband in Roseanne and eventually the show Angel). They didn't show Brandis during Globes and that is TV/Movies. He did Seaquest (TV) and he did movies (Ladybugs being the most recognizable) |

Same here Spirit Child, maybe it's because I'm around the same age, but that's all it turned into basically, a footnote. |

BMonkey - yeah, I thought about that too. And that may very well be. Although, I often see people in those memorium things that I've never heard of. And there are behind the scenes people included too who people don't know. But you may be right, it may have something to do with thier body of work as a whole. I wonder if it's the number of credits they have or something? But I am surprised that Jonathan Brandeis wasn't included. He was a teen idol of sorts, so I would think they would honor him. |

You're totally right. He should have been included. Just because he took his own life doesn't make him any less of a person. He was a good actor.  |
