Celebrating the life of Justin Mentell (1982-2010)

[DemilichFan]

At NIU there is a great acting teacher by the name of Kathryn Gately, with whom Justin and I both studied. the training started sophomore year, but Justin was an inquisitive freshman. he would bug Kathryn all the time, because he wanted to start the Meisner training. In our freshman year, after a discussion between Justin and me about acting, he approached Kathryn with a bunch of acting questions. Kathryn gave us both these huge reading lists, like 12 books on them! I was so mad at Justin!

I had the pleasure of working with Justin on Boston Legal. He was talented and funny. More importantly he was a really good guy -- someone you'd want to hang out with. He told GREAT stories and was interested in your own. As a parent myself, I want to tell Justin's parents that they did a wonderful job raising a wildly creative yet down-to-earth kid. I always felt happier after I spent time with him.

The art of Justin is equalled by the artistry of this video montage tribute. The editing with his paintings and his adventures is hypnotic and when Justin speaks, I shiver. "I'm out of time." The songs lyrics are crushingly perfect.
