Early life

Panettiere was born in Palisades, New York, to Lesley R. Vogel, a former soap opera actress, and Alan Lee "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant.^[1]

Career

Jansen had a supporting role in the Disney Channel Original Movie Tiger Cruise, which starred his sister Hayden (this is one of only two productions in which both siblings featured onscreen, the other being The Forger – Jansen lent his voice to Racing Stripes, in which Hayden appeared).

His next film, The Perfect Game, was going to be released in theaters on August 8, 2008, but Lionsgate Films decided to push it back to the spring of 2010. The Perfect Game is directed by William Dear, based on the true story of how a group of boys from Monterrey, Mexico become the first non-U.S. team to win the Little League World Series. Panettiere also co-stars with Gavin MacLeod in The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry, a film directed by Rich Christiano about faith and friendship. He appeared with Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Christine Lahti, as Elliott Perry in Dustin Lance Black's play 8, a reenactment of the Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial, at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on March 3, 2012.^[2] The performance was broadcast on YouTube to raise money for the American Foundation for Equal Rights.^[3]^[4] In 2019, Jansen guest starred in the AMC network series The Walking Dead and co-starred in MTV's How High 2.

Death

Panettiere died of unspecified causes on February 19, 2023. He was 28 years old.^[5]^[6]
