Jon-Erik Hexum - One in a Million

[TralfazConstruction]

I can recall seeing this fellow's face all over during his tragically short career arc. His "Voyagers" was a staple of early Saturday morning TV well after his passing. It's sad beyond description Jon-Erik's life being cut so short. We were age contemporaries and I think of all of the living I've done between now and that fateful day in October of 1984.

I had the biggest crush on him as a kid. And remember when he died. He was so incredibly beautiful and handsome (male) at the same time. Such a great loss.

what a dream he was and still is in footage.♥♥♥

[arimborgo22]

I will never forget him!!  my hero when i was teenager!

[xxxWarriorGoddessxxx]

Man, he was SOOOOO hot, those eyes, so sad he left us over 25 years ago at age 26, wonder what would became of him if he was with us now.

[STORYOFSHIRTLESS]

was there a more attractive man alive in the 1980s? I don't think so.

[ch1aka2]

I remember him well. I had friends that knew him and said he was a truly great guy. He's a real 10, and those are few.

What an awesome video! Great song choice....he sure was "one in a million!"

XOXO

What a neat idea for a video. I know remember his character and smile and laughter. There was so much more to him than just "great looks". Part of it was his candiness with roles and humour.

Whoops, I posted under the other channel again, but yeah, Voyagersguidebook feels exactly the same way! haha. This was a one in a million perfect choice for MM.

[RobbyBensonScrapbook]

Okay, I'm doing chores and playing this song and I just had to gravitate to this video again. Now they are forever interchangeable, my sister says she thinks of beauty pageants when she hears it, I think of Tyler Burnett! :D

[bluecanvas2]

I'm not surprised your sisters thinks that. It was the song that was played during the beauty contest finale in Miss Congeniality ;)

Glad I could convince you to associate it with MM ;))

[gilvaniaferreira]

Jon was fantastic and he is unforgettable, thanks for sharing this video with us!

[bluecanvas2]

You're welcome and you're absolutely right, he really was a great guy.

[Voyagersguidebook]

This song is growing on me so much, roflol. You gotta love when he slips in the restaurant, that had to be unscripted! haha.

[bluecanvas2]

You're right. If it was unscripted I'm glad they kept the scene that way. It's a nice touch.

[voyagersfan]

What a great tribute!!! Truly excellent job.. I love how you chose the last scene in the movie where Tyler rides off into the sunset as the last clip of your video. Keep up the good work.

[bluecanvas2]

Thanks for your nice comment. I liked the positive message of that last scene - in contrast to the depressing undertone of the movie. I'm glad you enjoy it.

[lms615]

Great job on this video! Nice pick of clips to use from the movie. Nice job!

[bluecanvas2]

Thank you! I felt that most of these clips were key scenes in the plot, so I used them despite the depressing undertone. I'm glad you like it.

[bluecanvas2]

Thanks. I like the way how Jon-Erik acted completely straight in that somehow cheesy plot. It's a pity his character is sad and depressed most of the time ;)

[Voyagersguidebook]

Yeah, both Jon and Jeff Conway made Shakespeare out of this cheese factory!:) Too bad Tyler was surrounded by opportunists and phonies. And they all looked alike with those sappy eyes and bleached blonde hair, blah! If I HAD to pick out of this BUNCH, I liked the girl with the orange on his first modeling shoot, LOL. All he wanted was a wife and ten kids on the ranch! Is that too much to ask??? LOL. Oh, Tyler would eventually find that special gal and be happy again.:)

[Voyagersguidebook]

Yes, Jon-Erik is ONE IN MILLION. Cool vid:) 40-43 seconds...that smile just drives me crazy! LOVE IT!
