Skateboarder and Actor from "Kids" Dies

Harold Hunter, a skateboarder who starred in the 1995 film, Kids, was found dead in his apartment, apparently of an overdose. The Post reports that Hunter's brother found him at his East 13th Street apartment yesterday afternoon, and police found cocaine "on and around the body." This is the second death of a someone who appeared in Kids - Justin Pierce, who played Casper, killed himself in 2000; if another actor dies, it's going to be eerily like Final Destination.

Watch a video of Hunter skateboarding.

Casper singing in the bathtub such an eerie foreshadow. Larry Clark should come out with some kind of documentary on 'who what where when why' of the actors in Kids.
