Former child actor Christian Cousins, best known for his roles in “Kindergarten Cop” and “Knots Landing,” has died. He was 43.
Jonas Roeser, the actor’s brother, shared the tragedy on Instagram in October, posting a carousel of photos of the star and revealing details about his recent health struggles.
“It’s hard to share that my brother, Christian Cousins, has passed away,” he captioned the tribute, claiming Cousins had liver disease before his death.
Roeser stated that he did not meet Christian or his twin brother, Joseph “Joey” Cousins, until he was in college.
Because of my biological father, they are my brothers. “I was in Washington, but they grew up in California,” he said.
“Before that, I grew up watching them on television as Dominic in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “Kindergarten Cop” and in “Knots Landing.”
Roeser explained, “But those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian.” “He was a character with big stories and even bigger dreams, full of passion and energy.”
“It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying,” Roeser added, adding that Christian “had been very sick” before his passing.
He read, “Rest easy, Christian,” as a final message to his sibling. I hope you’ve found peace and that your soul is at rest. I will miss you because you are my brother.
In March 1983, Christian and Joey were born in Orange County, California.
The brothers’ first acting role was in an episode of “Highway to Heaven.” From 1987 to 1992, they played Bobby Gibson Ewing in almost sixty episodes of “Knots Landing.”
The siblings performed alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dominic in the 1990 film “Kindergarten Cop” while they were on the soap opera.
In 1995, they played their final role.
