I was a PA on the show, on set the day of the accident, a lot of folks had been at a party the night before & many of those had obviously done all nighters, the 1st AD was charged with negligence, not sure what the outcome was, but I didn’t see that 1st AD on a call sheet for several years…
What a terrible event to have been on the scene for. You would think this would have put an end to this sort of accident but that human problem is always going to crop up.
He and I went to the same high school and are from the same hometown. He was a lot older than me, so we were never in school together, but I had teachers who taught him and if anyone mentioned him (he was called Jack in school) the teachers would tear up. Everyone said he was a wonderful person. He was popular and athletic and so nice. When he made it big on television (The Making of a Male Model) the town was so proud. Such a terrible tragic accident.

I was curious how things went in his hometown. I grew up in the next county and him even growing up so close by made it big news.
that pilot intro is A LOT cheesier than i remember. 😉
