RIP. He always had his demons, sucks that he never overcame them. His character gets a lot of shit for not aging well, but he was really the comedic heartbeat of the show.
Sad situation. Tough week to be a Buffy fan

Statement from Nicholas’ family:
>”We are heartbroken to share the passing of our brother and son, Nicholas Brendon. He passed in his sleep of natural causes. Most people know Nicky for his work as an actor and for the characters he brought to life over the years. In recent years Nicky has found his passion in painting and art. Nicky loved to share his enthusiastic talent with his family, friends and fans. He was passionate, sensitive, and endlessly driven to create. Those who truly knew him understood that his art was one of the purest reflections of who he was. While it’s no secret that Nicholas had struggles in the past, he was on medications and treatment to manage his diagnosis and he was optimistic about the future at the time of his passing. Our family asks for privacy during this time as we grieve his loss and celebrate the life of a man who lived with intensity, imagination, and heart. Thank you to everyone who has shown love and support.”

He was my favorite character in that show. It sucks that he had to die in Chuck’s shadow.

Wow, 54 is young. They said passed in his sleep. Wonder if it was heart related. Knew he struggled with various things in the past.

Ah fuck.
This one is going to linger.
I was just thinking about him because of the Buffy stuff, hoping he was doing better.

Damn. I know the community has mixed feelings about him but he played a character in a show so core to me when I was growing up (and now even). First Michelle now him, just sucks 🙁
