That’s horrible. I hope the family comes through.

I didn’t watch the show or know this actor, but I’ve been following the recent headlines...how tragic..what a terrible shame. Empathy extended.

Depression is a serious medical illness.

Take your medicine if your doctor prescribes it.

Prayers to the Koenig family for their loss.

Condolences to Walter Koenig and the remainder of Andrew Koenig’s family and friends.

That is sad. Anybody remember the episode when Boner had a "monster-kicking power pop" band? Lyrics: "Reagan, Reagan, Reagan listen to us?" This was during GHW Bush years. Guess the commie writers of the show just could let go of their hatred for the Gipper.

Anyway, I thought that was a funny episode, and Koenig played it well.

I have no idea who this guy is other than what I’ve now read. I guess I quit watching Growing Pains before he showed up.

I offer my condolences to his family.

Not meaning to make a comment, but I’d like to tell a Star Trek story.

After Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (the comedy movie with the whales), George Takei (sp) and Walter were doing one of those horrible promoting tours to sell the movie and books, t-shirts and stuff. My wife and I went to one in Raleigh, NC and in line Walter walked around signing autographs, etc. (no cell phone cameras back then) while cleary hung over.

Every Star Trek geek there asked him to say (maybe in a future GWBush voice) “nuclear vepppins”. By the time I asked him for his autograph on the 8X10 photo we bought and the Star Trek Techinal Manual I bought in 1976 I asked him, “bet you wish you had a buck for every time someone ask you to say that”. He perked up a bit.

George, on the other hand, relished his role. In retrospect, I know why. He was friendly, enthusiastic and appreciative. We got autographs and a Polaroid I paid $5 for. He’s very happy. I’m sitting next to him as he has his right arm around my shoulders (ie the retrospect comment - lol) and doing the Vulcan salute with his left hand.

That reminds me to scan the pic (im my entertainment center) and put it on my profie.
