Sawyer Sweeten, a name that means nothing to me but who you might recognize as one of the actors from Everybody Loves Raymond committed suicide today. A self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, on his families porch in Texas, leaving me feeling sad. Sad that this young child actor with seemingly no career left in film or television didn’t do this sooner. Like on set of Everybody Loves Raymond. That’s how you go out with true blazing glory. Even better he should’ve taken the entire cast and crew with him especially Ray Romano because no one actually likes let alone loves that guy. This would’ve been the real American way – another day, another murder-suicide gun shoot out.
I know, suicide makes the world sad. It angers me because I find it a selfish act, but sad none the less but the real question is not “why wasn’t this Ray Romano’s last hurrah”….but rather…why does the world all of sudden care about a kid that was on a show they probably didn’t watch after he’s dead…instead of giving him love and support when he was still alive…and his parents were spending all his child star money…
