JUSTIN PIERCE

This English-American actor is one of the biggest stars of the ‘90s, best known for appearances in the Next Friday, A Brother’s Kiss, and First Time Felon. He received an Independent Spirit Award for his performance as a skateboarder, Casper, in the film Kids. His last movie was Looking for Leonard, which was dedicated to him and released after his passing. Justin Charles Pierce is also a professional skateboarder and was an original member of the Zoo York skateboard team and the skateboarding lifestyle brand, Supreme Crew.

Contrary to what some believe, the actor-skateboarder was actually born in London, England to an American father and a Welsh mother. They later moved to New York, where he was raised in Kingsbridge and Marble Hill areas of the city. His parents would eventually call a lawyer and file for a legal separation. He passed on July 10, 2000. He was 25 years old. As a tribute, the brand Supreme featured images of him in action on their publications and clothing line.
