Man Known For Being Young Will Smith Dies At His Own Age
It is with a heavy heart, or perhaps a mild shrug, that we report the passing of Floyd Roger Myers Jr., a man who, until his recent demise, was primarily known for embodying the pre-pubescent exuberance of a significantly more famous actor. Myers, whose singular claim to widespread recognition stemmed from playing a younger version of Will Smith in a fleeting flashback on a beloved 90s sitcom, has reportedly shuffled off this mortal coil at the rather unremarkable age of 42.
One might almost suspect a tragic irony in a performer primarily defined by his youth succumbing to a heart attack at an age where most people are still diligently accruing mortgage debt and lamenting the passage of time. His defining performance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will, no doubt, continue to outlive him, ensuring his legacy as the embodiment of *someone else's* formative years endures, untroubled by the inconvenience of his own adulthood. Truly, a testament to the enduring power of typecasting.
