Anthony Marsh, Jr - Remembering Lee Thompson Young (1984-2013)

Lee Thompson Young, a former Disney Channel star who appeared on "Rizzoli & Isles," was found dead Monday morning at age 29. Young began his acting career early, appearing in community theater as a child before heading toward the bright lights of New York City. There, he auditioned for and won the main role in Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson." The show lasted for three seasons and a TV movie. After the end of the series, Young appeared in Jamie Foxx's "Redemption: The Stan Tookie Williams Story" and in the "Friday Night Lights" movie as Chris Comer. He also landed guest roles in TV shows including "The Guardian," "South Beach," and "Smallville." In 2009, Young starred in the short-lived sci-fi drama "FlashForward" as an FBI agent who commits suicide to prevent a death. His latest work was in TNT's "Rizzoli & Isles" as Det. Barry Frost, Rizzoli's (Angie Harmon) partner. The show halted production as the cast and crew grieved over Young's death and it's unclear when filming will resume. Young graduated with honors from the University of Southern California.   / powerrangerslostgalaxy2014fanfilm
