Austin Majors passed away on Saturday in Los Angeles. He was a well-known child actor of the 1990s and early 2000s best known for his seven-season portrayal as the young son of star Dennis Franz’s Detective Andy Sipowicz on NYPD Blue. He was 27.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner certified his death. (After leaving the acting business, Majors went by the name Setmajer.)
Following Majors’ depiction of young Theo Sipowicz from 1999 to 2004, she made guest appearances on shows such as How I Met Your Mother, According to Jim, American Dad!, Desperate Housewives, and An Accidental Christmas (2007). He also made countless television commercial appearances.
Austin’s family, which includes his younger sister, the former child actress Kali Majors, praised him as “a lovely, artistic, smart, and kind human being” in a statement provided to TMZ. Austin cherished and was extremely proud of his acting profession. He graduated from high school as Salutatorian and was an enthusiastic Eagle Scout. After attending the USC School of Cinematic Arts, he graduated with a penchant for music production and directing.
“Austin’s younger sister, Kali, says her best times with him were growing up on set, helping at events with Kids With a Cause, and going on backpacking trips together,” the statement reads. We will always miss Austin because he was the kind of son, brother, grandchild, and nephew that made us proud.
