I own the outsiders tv series he was in. I really liked him. Too bad what drugs do to people. They need to play these type of commercials on tv again and in schools for kids to see the effects of drugs.

This commercial is no longer in our PSA rotation, but we encourage you to ask any website to embed this video. There is no wrong place to have a conversation about drugs. We all have a role to play. You too can help.

Yet another victim of America's War on Drugs. If not for criminalization of drugs, Rodney could have received help as a patient instead of being thrown in jail. Shame on the DEA and all those who treat addicts as criminals instead of patients, for they are the ones truly responsible for Rodney's death.

Nossa, to boba até agora... não sabia que ele tinha morrido.

Mto triste isso....

Wow.. i'm shocked!!!! I didn't now that he had died... It's so sad...

May his soul rest in peace. I loved him so at 13 years old; "Salsa" was my favorite movie. Heroin has taken so many people, at such a young age.

Heroin seems to take a lot of people that are brimming with beauty and creative talent, in particular. The only positive aspect of that is that it may warn prospective users of these drugs away from picking them up.

Comfort and solace to his family and friends, and may his soul be at peace.

So sad so many talented people loose their lives to drugs and other related addictions.....i loved him in Salsa

Damn man I wish I hadn't seen this! Now I can't watch anything with him without thinking about what happened. P.S. I think I remember watching this ad in school but I didn't know it was the guy from Salsa.

I remember him from when my boyfriend at the time did a stint in rehab....he booked himself in so he could weasel his way out of jail for multiple DUIs ( didn't work...he went to the slammer for a year) and spent a month along with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols and this guy. The drugs had'nt done him in yet, cos in the flesh he was one of the most incredibly gorgeous men I'd ever seen. he had a casts on his arm from a fight and he was really detoxing hard. Very sad.

Heart breaking to see Rodneys decline, he was a joy to work with, and I expected him to be a star one day. So very sad to see.
