Dayum JHH, you are good. I was watching Next Friday and checked IMDB for another actor but found that fact. Were you a fan or did you google it?

Google. Never heard of that person before tonight.

For some reason this information was on tv or the radio or something about 2 weeks ago and I googled his name and read the story... interesting...

So what was the story....did he lose a bunch of money or something? Yes....I%26#39;m being too lazy to go google it. I wonder if they still rent that room out.....????

Born in Paddington, England to an English mother and an American father, Pierce and his parents moved to the Bronx when he was about three years old. Pierce%26#39;s parents divorced when he was 15. Pierce began hanging out all night, skateboarding, stealing, and skipping classes. He was discovered by controversial film director Larry Clark while skateboarding in Washington Square Park, Manhattan. This landed him his first role, starring in the 1995 film Kids, which was to prove his most notable.

Pierce re-located to Los Angeles to launch an acting career in 1997. He married Gina Rizzo, in July 1999.

Other film credits include: A Brother%26#39;s Kiss (1996), HBO%26#39;s First Time Felon (1997), BlackMale (1999), Out In Fifty (1999), Next Friday (2000), King of the Jungle (2000), Looking for Leonard (2000), among others.

Pierce also starred in two episodes of the first season of Malcolm in the Middle in 2000.

On July 12, 2000 3:41 PM ET, at the age of 25, he committed suicide by hanging himself in his Las Vegas, Nevada room at the Bellagio Hotel. He was found by hotel security officers and was pronounced dead at the scene. Two suicide notes were found at the scene. Pierce, a Los Angeles resident, had apparently been in Las Vegas to do a video shoot for a fashion company.

Never really figured out why... they never released what was in the notes...

Thanks anhp25.....interesting!!!! I asked because sometimes I sit there and wonder about all the people who have been in the hotel room before me over the years......am I the only one who ponders this? LOL....

anhp25, I just heard that too. I think it must have been on one of the new Vegas related Travel Channel shows I Tivoed.

I remember seeing him in the movie Kids. He was very good in that downer of a movie.
