Floyd Roger Myers Jr., who played a young Will Smith on the '90s sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and starred in "The Jacksons: An American Dream," has died at 42, according to a new report.
Myers' mother Renee Trice told TMZ the former child actor died early Wednesday, Oct. 29, from a heart attack at his Maryland home. Myers suffered three prior heart attacks over the last three years, Trice told the outlet.
During his acting career, Myers played a young version of Smith in a Season 3 "Fresh Prince" episode, "Will Gets Committed," in 1992. The same year, he played a young Marlon Jackson in the TV miniseries "The Jacksons: An American Dream," chronicling the rise and the hardships of the Jackson 5 and the Jackson family musical dynasty.
His last recorded role was in 2000 as an unnamed student in the 2000 TV series "Young Americans."
As an adult, Myers went on to own a Maryland-area duct cleaning business and cofounded The Fellaship Men's Group, empowering men's mental health as well as "support, self-improvement & real conversations," according to the group's Instagram page.
