Jon-Erik Hexum Remembered...

A second tribute, this has a more lively approach and feel. For the multi-talented Jack Hexum!
There aren't many songs as appropriate as Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding out for a hero'...which was the title song to Jon's last show, 'Cover Up.'

I really don't remember Cover Up...but I faithfully watched Voyagers as a teen. Jon was great. He had so much potential...that's what makes his story so tragic. It's nice to see other fans who keep his spirit alive. Jon will always be remembered. Thank you, Voyagersguidebook .

@thejimm2009 Thank you for the comment, :) Voyagers is my favorite, he was only in seven episodes of Cover Up before the accident. But when I did get to see those, I liked Mac Harper. But Voyagers had a lot of heart and everyone, including Jon himself said that he and Phineas Bogg were very much alike. I could definitely see that. He really enjoyed the role. I wish it would have lasted.

Just chatting to friend about Cover Up & came hunting! the music show RAGE in Australia just played Holding out for a Hero which reminded me of the show & the dreadful accident...I have for years told people the story of Jon's death whenever guns firing blanks comes up in conversation. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thanks for this great tribute and some greats clips, he really seemed to have it all. Makes his death seem all the more wasteful

Paco Bazan, model and actor Peruvian, looks like Jon Erik Hexum, see it in You Tube

I wish voyagers became a big hit then he would not have been doing cover up and still doing voyagers I was only 12 when he died but o remember it like it was yesterday.

It's nice that the guy has so many fans after all these years. I was 8 when he died, and just started thinking about him recently. Don't know why. Anyway he seemed like a sweet, funny guy... RIP. I'll never forget you.

@VoyagersguidebookYeah, There was much speculation for a long time as to which scene it was, I thought the same thing. The gangster shooting scene was biggest one followed by Mister Gideon in the pawn shop. It finally came out a few years ago as to what scene that it was. There is also a youtube vid on here somewhere if it is still up where MIchael Masse (Funboy) is interviewed and talk about it and what happened.

[Voyagersguidebook]

@videozfann Oh, okay. That explains why it was such close range and did damage. I always thought it was the big scene at the long table with all the gangsters firing at once.

[videozfann]

@Voyagersguidebook Brandon was actually shot in the scene where the thugs invaded his apartment and he comes home during the rape scene flashback of the Shelly character attack in the beginning of the movie. The actor Michael Massee that played Funboy was the one who had the unchecked prop gun and fired the gun with the bullet that was lodged in the gun barrel and the blank powder explosion discharged it out of the gun barrel and into Brandons abdomen during the scene filming.

[Voyagersguidebook]

@videozfann Yes, Jon was about 10 days shy of 27. Yeah, that's the difference between the two tragedies. But with Brandon I don't think it was accidental, meaning, it was in the script for everyone at the table to be shooting at the crow. And this particular blank hit him in a vital organ. So sad.

[videozfann]

@Voyagersguidebook Both Brandon and John Eric were both set to take off in their careers. So John Eric was almost 27? Brandon was 28 on the set of The CROW, only other difference being John Eric shot himself and Brandon was accidentally shot by another actor.

i think he remains one of the most beautiful man i have ever seen. RIP
