Former child actor Christian Cousins dies at 43
Christian Cousins, known for his roles in "Kindergarten Cop" and "Knots Landing," died at age 43 after a period of illness, his brother announced on social media.
Christian Cousins, who appeared as Dominic in the 1990 film "Kindergarten Cop" and as Bobby Gibson Ewing on the television series "Knots Landing," died at age 43, his brother Jonas Roeser announced on Instagram.
Roeser said his brother had been suffering from liver disease before his death and expressed hope that Cousins was now at peace. He added that Cousins and their twin brother Joseph "Joey" were his brothers through their shared biological father and that he had grown up watching their television performances.
Born in March 1983 in Orange County, California, Cousins and his twin began acting at age five with an appearance on "Highway to Heaven." The brothers later appeared together in nearly 60 episodes of "Knots Landing" from 1987 to 1992 and shared the screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Kindergarten Cop." Their final credited role was in 1995.
"It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying," Roeser wrote.
"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," he added.
