Kirk Cameron is speaking out about the tragic death of Andrew Koenig, his former Growing Pains costar. “At a time like this, we are all reminded of the briefness of life and the importance of being ready for our eternal destination,” Cameron said in a statement. “My prayers will continue to be with Andrew’s family.”

Wow, congatulations goes out to Mr. Cameron for not inserting his foot into his mouth, and being sympathetic to everyone involved.

Hopefully he got himself a good publicist that told him to turn it down a notch.

This is from wikipedia, so who knows how factual this info is, but it seems like Kirk is a decent guy:


In 2003, according to the article "The Re-birth of Kirk Cameron" in Christianity Today, Cameron "admits he made some mistakes common to new believers — such as distancing themselves so far from the world that they do no good for anyone ... In time, however, he realized his missteps. In 2000, he re-joined his former cast members for a Growing Pains reunion movie. He stood in front of his TV family, and apologized for his behavior. 'I was a 17-year-old guy trying to walk with integrity, knowing that I was walking in the opposite direction from many other people. I didn't have the kind of maturity and graceful way of putting things perhaps that I would now,' he says. Cameron's fellow actors immediately embraced him.

Good to hear. Now if he'd only find his acting skills again. Maybe acting like a teenager as a teenages isn't that hard.

For the first time ever, the name "Kirk Cameron" and "acting skills" were uttered in the same sentance. [citation needed]

Notice it wasn't positive.

I did like that movie with Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore, Like Father, Like Son. I remember Wildside by Motley Crue was in the soundtrack.

I do remember that joke on Growing Pains that MetalGuy posted. Funny!

Andrew Koenig R.I.P.

Kirk's approach to Christianity is a bit on the cold side compared to someone like ult (scott). He needs to lighten up. Other than that i'm glad he has conviction.

its tragic he died, even if i have no idea who he is
