Re: Sawyer Sweeten

Never saw the series, not heard of him until today, but very sad that one so young took his own life. I wonder if spending his childhood acting was a contributory factor.

Re: Sawyer Sweeten

Everybody Loves Raymond is my favourite Us sitcom, those boys were such good little actors, so very sad.

Re: Sawyer Sweeten

I have never watched the programme either. I also wondered if
being a child actor is good for everyone. He wont be the first
child actor to either commit suicide or die of drugs at a young age.
There seems to be something lacking in their childhood that makes
them want to somehow destroy themselves. Such a shame.
RIP Sawyer.

Re: Sawyer Sweeten

I don't think it helps they rarely transition into adult actors, so much promise then rejection at an age they have begun to believe they are brilliant actors. I don't think we look after them enough looking at how many fail to make good on the promise of a long career.

How sad for Sullivan, his twin brother, and the rest of his family.
