Former child actor Christian Cousins dies at 43
Actor Christian Cousins, known for his roles in "Kindergarten Cop" and "Knots Landing," died at age 43 after battling liver disease, his brother announced on Instagram.
Christian Cousins, who appeared as Dominic in the 1990 film "Kindergarten Cop" and as Bobby Gibson Ewing on the soap opera "Knots Landing," died at age 43, his brother Jonas Roeser announced on Instagram. Roeser said Cousins had been suffering from liver disease before his death and expressed comfort in believing he is now in heaven with their mother.
Roeser, who grew up watching Cousins on television, described his brother as a "character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams." He added that the roles on screen represent only a small part of how he will remember Christian.
Christian and his twin brother Joseph "Joey" were born in March 1983 in Orange County, California. Their first acting appearance was in an episode of "Highway to Heaven," and they later appeared in nearly 60 episodes of "Knots Landing" between 1987 and 1992. Their final credited role was in 1995.
"Rest easy, Christian. I hope your soul is at rest and that you’ve found peace. You are my brother and you will be missed," Roeser wrote in his tribute.
