Canadian actor Spencer Lofranco, known for roles in Jamesy Boy and Gotti, has died at the age of 33.<\/p>\n

Lofranco\u2019s brother Santino paid tribute on\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, revealing he died on Tuesday November 18.<\/p>\n

Santino remembered him as a \u2018legend\u2019 who \u2018changed people\u2019s lives\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u2018To the legend @roccowinning. My brother. You lived a life only some could dream of. You changed people\u2019s lives, and now you are with God. I will always love you and miss you Bear. RIP,\u2019 he wrote, sharing photos of the actor from childhood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His death is being investigated in British Columbia,\u00a0TMZ<\/a>\u00a0reports. A cause of death is yet to be determined.<\/p>\n

Lofranco described himself as a funny teenager, always cracking jokes and trying to be the \u2018centre of attention\u2019, so a career in acting made sense for him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While his dad \u2013 lawyer Rocco Lofranco \u2013 wanted him to become a lawyer or a hockey player, Lofranco went to summer acting classes then spent a year at New York Film Academy, which is when he got a break in Jamesy Boy.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a02014 interview<\/a>, Lofrano reflected that he \u2018understood\u2019 the character of James Burns, a working class boy who spent his youth in and out of detention centres, who he portrayed in the indie film.<\/p>\n

Over his career, Lofranco appeared in seven films including romantic comedy At Middleton (2013), Angelina Jolie\u2019s Unbroken (2014), short film Home (2015), and Gotti (2018) in which he played John Travolta\u2019s on-screen son.<\/p>\n

He hasn\u2019t starred in a film since.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lofranco was born in Toronto, Ontario, on October 18, 1992, to his lawyer father and opera singer mum Amy Lofranco.<\/p>\n

He recalled fondly times spent accompanying his mother to auditions as a child, and previously credited his dad for \u2018sort of saving\u2019 him.V<\/p>\n

His parents divorced during his childhood, and he grew up in Thornhill, Ontario, alongside his older brother Santino.<\/p>\n

Friends, family and fans have rushed to pay tribute and share their condolences on social media underneath the announcement post.<\/p>\n

\u2018I am at a loss for words. I am so sorry for your loss \ud83d\ude14 Spencer was such a kind soul,\u2019 marishaa.xo wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

\u2018I am so incredibly sorry for your loss and heartbroken to hear this. Sending you and your family my sincere condolences and prayers for strength and comfort,\u2019 said christinacamp88.<\/p>\n
