Young Actor Found Dead in Las Vegas Hotel

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A young actor who starred in the movie "Kids'' was
found dead in a hotel in an apparent suicide.

Police say the body of Justin Pierce, 25, was found Monday in his room
at the Bellagio hotel-casino complex. It appears he hanged himself.
An autopsy is being conducted to determine the exact cause of death.

Pierce died the day before the New York premiere of his latest film,
"Pigeonholed.'' It co-stars "Law and Order'' actor Chris Noth and
Rosanna Arquette.

Pierce also appeared in two episodes of the Fox television show
"Malcolm in the Middle'' this year and with rapper Ice Cube in "Next
Friday,'' released earlier this year.

Pierce, of Los Angeles, was in town working on a video shoot for a
fashion company.

Last year, actor David Strickland hanged himself at the Oasis Motel
also on the Las Vegas strip. Strickland was a cast member in the
TV series "Suddenly Susan.''

IMDB sez he played a character named "Justin" in at least one of the
episodes. Presumably (given his age) one of the older brothers'
friends or fellow military school cadets?
