Former child actor Floyd Roger Myers Jr. has died at the age of 42, TMZ reports. Myers’s mother, Renee Trice, told TMZ that he died at home on Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack, having had three other heart attacks over the past three years. Myers made his onscreen debut in 1992, playing Young Will in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He went on to play Marlon Jackson in the limited ABC series The Jacksons: An American Dream, appearing alongside Angela Bassett, Billy Dee Williams and Vanessa Williams. Myers’s final acting role was in 2000, in the WB soap Young Americans. Since leaving Hollywood, he had co-founded the Fellaship Mens Group, a nonprofit dedicated to men’s mental health. The group paid tribute to Myers in an Instagram post, writing, “RIP to our good brother @rocwonder one of our co founders. Gone but never will be forgotten. The mission will continue in your honor. Next men’s meeting will be one for the books like we talked about! Love you bro, rest easy, big bro will take it from here.”
