'Kindergarten Cop' Christian Cousins Dies at 43

Christian Cousins, the former child actor who played young Dominic in the classic Kindergarten Cop, has passed away at the age of 43. The information was released by Cousins' half-brother on Instagram. Christian died a month ago after battling liver disease.

Alongside his twin brother Joseph, Christian Cousins ​​played Dominic Palmieri, the young student at the school whose identity John Kimble, Arnold Schwarzenegger's classic character, must discover in order to protect from his father, a violent drug dealer.

"It's hard to share that my brother, Christian Cousins, has passed away," Jonas Roeser wrote on his Instagram account.

Christian and his twin brother, Joseph “Joey” Cousins, are my brothers through my biological father. They grew up in California while I was in Washington and I didn’t get to know them until I was in college. Before that, I grew up watching them on television in Knots Landing and the lead role of Dominic in Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian. He was a character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams. Christian had been very sick with liver disease. It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying. Rest easy, Christian. I hope your soul is at rest and that you’ve found peace. You are my brother and you will be missed.

After retiring from acting, Christian Cousins ​​entered the furniture business as an executive and also co-owned a CBD company.
