"Zoom" (1999)

"New Hampshire Union Leader".] He co-starred with Keiko, Pablo, Alisa, Zoe, David and Lynese. He left after one season because of age. After his death, Zoom Executive Producer Kate Taylor said "If he hadn't entered adolescence, we would have loved to have had him back for additional seasons."

Education

Nathan attended Bishop Guertin High School in Nashua for two years before switching to the arts-oriented Walnut Hill School in Natick, Massachusetts. After graduating from Walnut Hill in 2004, he studied drama at the Juilliard School and was a third year student on winter break at the time of his death.

Death and afterward

Jared was killed in a crash on December 28, 2006, when the car he was in hit a tree broadside in Hollis, New Hampshire. He was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua where he was declared dead. He was 21 years old. An episode of Jeopardy was dedicated to his memory.

Hudson, Mass., native Gabriel King, the 20-year-old aspiring actor whose best friend was killed when King's car hit a tree was sentenced to 12 months in jail after pleading guilty to negligent homicide because of speeding. Half of the jail term was suspended after the judge said King was a remarkable young man and good person who caused death by reckless behavior.
