I remember watching the original Degrassi and he was one of the stronger actors out there. In one of the final story lines he became a heavy drinker and ended up in a drunk driving accident that killed a little girl and crippled or blinded one of the main characters. It was intriuiging deep stuff for a teen show in those days and they handled it very well.
He madetwofinal appearances in the new show where he tried to make ammends after going to jail.
He was solid in the show and probably had the toughest role to play.
He probably didn't want his funeral to become a gong show, but its sad that he did die with very little fan fare or recognition
