Sad stuff. I always liked him as an actor.

In fact, I always felt kind of bad for him. My recollection was that he was the frontrunner to play Anakin Skywalker in Episode II. Unfortunately, someone leaked that info and Lucas ended up axing him because he wanted the awarding of the role to be more of a surprise. If my memory is right (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong), that would have been a bitter pill to swallow as it would surely have made Walker a superstar.

I suppose none of that matters now.
