He is so respectful when he talks

his laugh is what keeps me going, i will always admire him for his hard work. such a talented angel. :’)

So intelligent, how he answered the questions on Ladybugs, such a loss to Hollywood.

The beginning of the 1995 interview is sad because the episode he had said he was working on didn't happen because the show got canceled. The episode was something he was really looking forward to. I met Jonathan shortly before he passed away. He was such an amazing guy. He's still sorely missed.

I wish he never died 💔 he was such an amazing actor and kind guy..

Sweet, gorgeous man. But you can see the pain in his eyes. Rest in peace. I remember the day you died. I cried my eyes out.

RIP Jonathan Brandis (1976-2003)

His voice is so deep

Wow it's hard to believe how broken he became when he sounds like he had a strong personality . Wish he wasn't so hard on himself and could have gotten through his dark times . RIP Jonathan those who grew up with you will always keep you in out thoughts prayers and memories.

He was emotionally intelligent.

You can tell he was really special. Such people are always gone too soon.

Loved him in "Sidekicks" (With Chuck Norris). Crazy to think johnathan has been gone for almost 20 yrs, yet Chuck is still with us at 82yrs old. Depression is no joke. Its hard to see people around you prospering while you struggle to get by. But circumstances can always change and life is too precious.

Can you imagine being this dude and walking the halls of your high school? His passing is such a tragedy.

Jonathan was so cute and adorable such a great smile and laughter

He is so beautiful I miss him so much and his voice is so dreamy I wish he was here with us RIP to my HANDSOME MAN he was literally perfect!! ❤ 😭

I still find it so strange that he is gone and that it's been 20 years this year. He was quite prolific for teen audiences in the late 90s and early 2000s and was always in teen magazines etc. He died and there wasn't much coverage surrounding his passing. It took me over a month to even find out about it.

You can see the change of how he went from super happy and ok to not OK and in pain..

So well-spoken and humble at such a young age. He was my idol growing up in the late 80s and early 90s. Gone far too soon. R.I.P. Jonathan

I will always love him

So well spoken, great smile and laugh, but something mysterious about him. Gosh, why?? I firmly believe his career would have found firmer ground eventually. I think he would have been a massive star. I get Johnny Depp vibes.

I met Chuck Norris at the George R Brown Convention Center at the Collect-A-Con and shook hands with him and told him how I cherished him in Silent Rage, Sidekicks (with Jonathan Brandis), and in Walker Texas Ranger. I told Chuck and his wife how terrible and sad it was that 10 years after Sidekicks, that Jonathan Brandis ended up passing away from suicide, and Chuck’s wife told me more than just the depression of Jonathan and his waning career and all, but also the psychiatric medication he was taking along with the alcohol (whether with or without alcohol) was taking so much toll on Jonathan that he had no idea what he was doing, whether he felt suicidal or not. Worst of all, the psychiatric medication company has a disclaimer and used legal to be completely covered, in which they couldn’t be sued, which should be wrong. Chuck told me how much he cherished Jonathan and knows that Jonathan is resting in the everlasting safety in God’s kingdom of Heaven. All this, also, being why I don’t take psyche meds myself, especially anymore, and never will, and nothing can ever change my mind. More harm than good. Especially psychologically and financially.

I miss him so much. Rest in peace

Such brilliant actor, so handsome, so sad he s not here anymore😮‍💨😪

He’s so handsome

He was so cool and no doubt deserving of his heartthrob status. He certainly had an intense sort of gravity to go along with his charisma. A fascinating person in more ways than just the movie star avenue. Watching some of these, I get a sort of vibe like he might have had a bad headache or was at times extremely exhausted and tense- but I think he masked everything that he was experiencing or struggling with incredibly well due to a high level of intelligence and eloquence. He was the face of my childhood in some ways and I would have loved to see him in a Netflix project or something nowadays, as I'm sure many others would as well. I don't think he really would have had to worry about his career fading out long term (people always mention that he had mentioned feeling disappointed with his career trajectory in the weeks leading up to his death). But I'm sure that part of his concern about that was due to the rigorous, merciless nature of the industry- especially in the 90's- when every top actor (especially teen heartthrobs of the day) presumedly had it drilled into them that even a small deviation from perfection could at any time result in their entire career tanking forever. Standards and aesthetics were INSANE during the 90's. Not to mention the lurking danger for children and teens in an industry full of predators, according to testimonials I've heard. That's too much pressure and trauma for someone just starting out in the atmosphere of inescapable fame. I'm sorry that Jonathan didn't have whatever kinds of support he might have needed back then. He should have had someone to talk to, but mental health wasn't even part of discourse back in 2003- it was only part of whispers and stigma.

Brandis had such a great smile and being an "old soul" made him seem much older. A double-edged sword. Rest in peace.🎉

Geez, this was River Phoenix stuff. So terribly sad that he died.

Seemed like a really sweet person. It’s a dirty shame nobody helped him in time.

RIP Jonathan. You are missed and loved. ❤ such a beautiful soul. So humble and sweet and talented. His leaving is so sad and senseless. I wish he would have stayed. It just breaks my heart.💔

Jonathan had a deep resonant voice. What an asset for Hollywood he could have been.

Omgg his eyes there soo beautiful

I was very happy to see this. Jonathan Brandis was good in everything I ever saw him in. HOLLYWOOD chewed him up and spit him out. Very sad and sTrANgE the way he checked out. R.I.P. You had so much potential.

Never saw some of this footage before and it's interesting to see them. Thanks, for uploading them.

Hollywood forgot about him after he finished with Seaquest DSV. Such a talented guy!

He was such a handsome bright soul :) RIP💖🕊️

I can't begin to let you know just how much this interview of jon meant to me. I'd like more stuff more interviews if possible especially when he got older. Wishing so so bad that he was interviewed when he got to be adult.😘😘😘😘 again, so many many thanks. I'll save this!!

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! THANK YOU

R.I.P Jonathan Brandis ❤❤😢😢🥺🥺. We love you

damn this really hurt, thank you for sharing

Thank you so very much you have no idea how much this means to his fans my heart hurts so much he is missed so much by so many Rip sweet angle with blue eyes sunkissed freckles contagious smile and the most cutest side smirk Jonathan Brandis 🖤🖤😢💔

he is amazing. that’s all i can say.

I think I’m about the same age as him. This didn’t have a big effect on me when it happened but looking back now and watching these interviews, I’m extremely heartbroken

I can't imagine how uncomfortable he must of felt about those notes and the comments he got sexualizing him and when people would grab or touch him without his permission

I’d never seen this footage before. Bless you. Miss him unconditionally ❤

I love him very much I feel bad for him RIP You will never be forgotten

He was extremely handsome. Like Edward Furlong. 90s had the most gorgeous young actors ever.

This so amazing love this soo much 👼🏻☁️

Yes it is very sad he passed away at a young age

I love him sm😭✋

He's so special ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍

Very talented, cool guy. These interviews reflect that, and how respectful he was - of his work and other people. Thanks for sharing ❤

OMGG THANK U!! I miss and love him so much

his smile saves me❤️

Jonathan Brandis and Edward Furlong are my crushs of 90s.

I'm a big fan of The Neverending Story (more the novel than the films, it's much more profound). I feel it's ironic that that book is about human longing, of the painful experience of wishing to be different, of wanting to re-write our histories. Unlike the character he played, I guess Jonathan was never able to pass through those feelings. I wonder about what Jonathan wished for, especially near the end of his life. It must have been so painful, all that unfulfilled longing. I hope he found peace, and wish his story had not ended.

Thank you for sharing!! Miss him 💔 RIP 💜

Seemed like such a good dude! Ladybugs was hilarious!

i literally love him sm :/

I had completely forgotten about him until today. I had no idea that he'd passed.

Finally something I haven't seen. You are awesome. Would love to see Vinessa Shaw's part of the interview. Thanks for the upload.

I’ve been waiting for more interviews with Jon!! Thank you so much for posting these!! 💞

Thank you for posting this ❤. We appreciated it

i haven't seen this interview before thank u it made me so happy

Rest in paradise Jonathan 😇🙏💙

RIP sorry you didn’t realize how good of an actor you were

Thanks for the upload. He has been in the camera so much his whole life new stuff i havent seen comes around all the time. Its almost like hes still alive in a sense.

Thank you for sharing it means so much to us! ❤️ loved these interviews

Wow this is amazing. I love it. Thank u for sharing this

Love Hayden Christensen BUT Jonathan should have been anakin skywalker. He was so close to getting the part that there is concept art for Attack of the Clones that had Jonathan Brandis as the character. I unfortunately think his suicide had something to do with losing the part. It would have Re-Launched his career to be in Star Wars. He would have been the perfect anakin. Goodlooking and charming but a darkness and tragedy behind the eyes.

THANK YOU FOR THIS ❤️❤️❤️

Rest In Peace man

thank you for posting this !! 🤎

Really miss this guy

Thanks for sharing he was brilliant

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS

Er hat mich zum Bücher lesen gebracht, ich war so überzeugt von ihm als Schauspieler..... verliebt ❤😂waren wir alle damals, oder Mädels? Die Besten gehen immer viel zu früh😢!

Tragic what happened to him.

Love it. Thanks for posting.

He killed himself because of waning fame and fallen career. If only he knew, if he would have waited, the way social media and the modern world is now, everyone is instagram and KZfaq famous and all these channels like Netflix and Amazon Prime are well known for reviving actors' careers. So sad😢.. he made a permanent decision over a temporary circumstance. in this modern world, you technically don't even need Hollywood to be famous, you can be self made these days...

Love him. So heartbreaking still 💔

BABY😭🥺🥺🥺

Wow Johnathan how interesting listening nice to know great hunk

man i miss him he wouldve been Aquaman the superhero despite him doing the tv show Sequest DSV

Thank you so much for share🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Really sad to learn he's gone. He really should've seen a therapist back then, if he really felt that way.

Seems like a sweet heart

Omg I thought this yt video was old but it was posted a day ago

thank you so much for this❤️

Funny that he was asked about taking props in multiple interviews :)

thank you for this!!

thank you

His voice 😍🥰

May god bless is soul.

Thank you!

ahh! thank you so much

Meu tudo 🥺

California closer to me moved liked Connecticut thanks sending him closer love him

I always thought he should of been cast in Apt Pupil as Todd instead of the also late Brad Renfro, shame both came to tragic ends

Bless his heart.

omg his voice in the Ladybugs interview he sounds so much younger
