Andrew Koenig of Growing Pains Found Dead

I was quite shocked to read that an actor from the old sitcom "Growing Pains" has been found dead. I remember watching the sitcom and every other sitcom available at about 7.30pm every weekday when I was in school. "Growing Pains" was one of them. I checked his filmography and was quite surprised that he guest starred in quite a few sitcoms of my day like 21 Jump Street and My Two Dads.

I couldn't recognise the actor's name, Andrew Koenig, though and Googling for his old photo, I couldn't recognise his face either. I couldn't even recognise his character name, Boner! Gosh, it has been that long till I couldn't remember anything, huh? It's OK that I didn't remember the story line but I do remember names like Kirk Cameron, a heart-throb them even though he was not as good looking as other adolescent stars that time, Tracy Gold, Jeremy Miller and of course, who could forget that Leonardo DiCaprio getting one of his first breaks on Growing Pains?

From news report that I read online, Andrew Koenig, whose father was Walter Koenig of Star Trek fame, committed suicide. Apparently, he was depressed. What a pity. May he rest in peace.
