Brad Everett Young, an actor turned photographer who appeared on Grey’s Anatomy, has died in a car crash. He was 46. His publicist Paul Christensen told The Hollywood Reporter that Young was driving alone on the 134 Freeway in Los Angeles when he collided with a vehicle going in the wrong direction. Young died at the scene, while the other driver was hospitalized. “Brad’s passion for both the arts and the people behind them was unmatched,” Christensen said. While Young began his career in Hollywood in the 1990s as an actor, appearing in shows like Boy Meets World and Charlie’s Angels, he later became a prominent red carpet photographer, shooting for outlets like Vanity Fair, Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar. Young photographed celebrities, many of whom were soap opera stars from Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. Stars paid tribute to Young, with General Hospital’s Lilly Melgar writing on her Instagram story, “This is so incredibly tragic... a good seed.” Young also founded Dream Loud Official, a grassroots organization aimed at saving arts programs in schools across the country. “His legacy will continue through Dream Loud Official,” Christensen said.
