Former child star Christian Cousins, who was known for the 1990 hit comedy and action film, Kindergarten Cop which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, has died at the age of 43.
His half brother Jonas Roeser shared the sad news in a moving Instagram post and revealed his sibling passed in October, after battling liver disease.
Christian was a twin, and he and his twin sibling Joseph Cousins shared the role of Dominic in the film.
“It’s hard to share that my brother, Christian Cousins, has passed away. Christian and his twin brother, Joseph ‘Joey’ Cousins, are my brothers through my biological father,” he wrote in his post.
“…I grew up watching them on television in Knots Landing and the lead role of Dominic in Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian.”
“He was a character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams. Christian had been very sick with liver disease. It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying.”
He added: “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.”
“I remember him…damn…,” one person commented underneath.
“So sorry for your (sic) loss, he was a talented kid on kindergarten cop!! Such a pretty little guy!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your (sic) family!!!” Another added underneath the post.
The former actor also starred in the TV show Knots Landing, and Intruders.
His acting credits go up to the mid-90s.
He reportedly was as an executive in a furniture business after his acting career.
