Jahmil French, who played Dave Turner on the show, after he has died at age 29. The news of the Toronto-born actor s passing was broken by TV writer Joshua Safran, an executive producer and writer for shows such as
Gossip Girl and
Soundtrack. He worked on the latter with Jahmil. I can confirm my good friend, co-worker, and all around inspiration, Jahmil French, passed away yesterday, Joshua tweeted on March 2. Only posting because I see the story getting out there. I will have more to say about him later. Right now we re all just processing this devastating news.
