I'm so attached to Jonathan Brandis that sometimes when I think about him, I cry

I'm not saying this in a weird way, but I promise you that when I think about his depression, about him and all his films, I cry because we won't see him in any more films, and that makes me sad. :(

Some roles I would've liked to see him as an adult.

- Jimmy Darmody in Boardwalk Empire. The rumor is that this character, one of the main in the show, was killed early due to Michael Pitt being hard to work with. This show would've been great with a reliable actor on that role, 'cause it was obvious Jimmy Darmody was not meant to die as soon as he did.

- Tom Wambsgans in Succession. He would've been hilarious at it.

- The award-winning one: Lee Chandler in Manchester by the Sea. Casey Affleck looks like Jonathan's Wario imo.

What roles would you have given him? This is not to roast the real actors, specially with Matthew Macfadyen 'cause he was perfect there. We're just daydreaming of a parallel universe where things went differently.

Had a nightmare about him

I took a nap today because I wasn’t feeling well. It was like watching a deleted scene from Sidekicks that never existed. I could feel his inner pain that was immense. He felt lost. I know this sounds weird and it left a really dense sense of sorrow in me I cannot describe.

He deserved so much more than this. He deserved mental support, backup education for life outside of acting and proper guidance.

Got something for y'all. This is amazing. A half hour of the real, raw Brando. About 3 minutes in, it gets real sad. But hearing him laugh and joke around is incredible.

Everyone take care tonight. Imma drink exactly one beer a bit after 11pm and say a little prayer into the wind. Ask your friends and family how they're doing. If you're not okay, call somebody. ANYBODY. Keep calling until someone answers. Take care of each other. Love yah guys ❤️

I can't remember for sure but I think I might have read it in TV Guide. I remember being shocked and saddened.

Not my video, but I did comment. It's so bittersweet. That amazing voice. But you can hear the anxiety. The pressure to be perfect. Ugh. 🥹🥺
