Andrew Koenig who played Mike Seaver's (Kirk Cameron) best friend on the sitcom 'Growing Pains' apparently committed suicide in Vancouver, B.C.

I was thinking about adding 'Growing Pains' to my list of top ten American sitcoms on this board. Great show.

I didn't realize it till I wiki'ed the guy when the articles started popping up about his disappearance; but he played the Joker in the awesome Batman - Dead End. Growing Pains... not so awesome.

I noticed that, too. I also read today that his dad played Pavel Checkov on Star Trek.
