Lee Thompson Young

Lee Thompson Young's star vehicle, The Famous Jett Jackson, was a very popular show on The Disney Channel for some timeùand found the young up-and-comer working alongside Rachel McAdams, who at the time was also a rising star. Like a lot of budding Hollywood hopefuls who latch on with the Disney machine, Young was able to use Jackson as a springboard into other projects: Friday Night Lights, Akeelah and the Bee, and The Hills Have Eyes II are some of the few films later added to Young's brief but impressive resume.

Sadly, his promising career would soon be cut short: Young was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder while working as a series regular on Rizzoli and Isles, and like many people who have the disease, he struggled with the symptoms of his condition. On August 19, 2013, his life came to a tragic end after he committed suicide with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
