So sad. As you may know, Jan portrayed the villain Kurt Bozwell in Good Burger in 1997, which also starred Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell. He also appeared on shows like ER and Felicity and worked on the 1999 films Warlock III: The End of Innocence and American Intellectuals.
In 2000, he worked on Fallen Arches before taking a break from acting for seven years. He returned to the business in 2007 to star as Michael Braga in the film Along the Way. However, that was his final film.
Our hearts go out to everyone who knew and loved him. Rest in peace, Jan…
