Jon Paul Steuer, Former Star Trek Actor, Dies at 33
Jon Paul Steuer, a former child actor who turned into a successful musician later in life, passed away on New Year’s Day from an unknown cause.
He was 33 years old.
Fellow members of the band P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S confirmed this sad piece news via a Facebook post on Wednesday, January 3.
It reads as follows:
“It is with heavy hearts and saddened minds that we announce the passing of our dear friend and singer Jonny Jewels, AKA Jon Paul Steuer.
“The addition of Jonny to our dysfunctional band family was one of the best choices that we have ever made, and he brought a much needed sense of fun and lightheartedness to everything we did.
“He was only with us for a little more than a year, but we managed to cram a lifetime of great experiences into his tenure as our singer: dozens shows at home in Portland and across several states, an amazing European tour, and our best full-length release yet.”
Concluded the farewell message:
“We’ve lost our singer, but far, far more than that we’ve lost a friend. Rest in peace, Jonny…we love you.”
An ex-child actor, Steuer portrayed a young Klingon on Star Trek: The Next Generation and the oldest son of Brett Butler’s lead character on the 1990s sitcom Grace Under Fire.

Steuer also appeared on an episode of the series The Wonder Years and the film Little Giants before landing his best known acting job on the aforementioned NBC sitcom.
He left Grace Under Fire at age 12 after three years, in 1996… and promptly retired from acting.
In the years since, however, Steuer has occasionally been spotted at Star Trek conventions.
The official Star Trek Online Twitter account shared a message in tribute to the late actor on Thursday:
“Rest in Peace, Jon Paul Steuer, the first actor to play Alexander in TNG. You will be deeply missed.”
He told The A.V. Club website in 2015, regarding his career:
“I wanted to forge on with acting after quitting the show, and I went out on a few interviews.
“But even then they’d turn into question-and-answer sessions with casting agents about Grace Under Fire. I was kind of blown away by how unprofessional people inside the industry were.
“It really soured me. I didn’t want that kind of attention.”
After leaving the acting world, Steuer performed in rock bands and, a few years ago, even launched Harvest At The Bindery in Portland.
The restaurant announced on Facebook on Thursday it will shut down in wake of Steuer’s passing.
“Due to an unexpected tragedy, Harvest will be permanently closing our doors,” the post reads.
“We thank you for your support and understanding. Jon Paul Steuer R.I.P. There will be a memorial gathering for Jonny at Harvest on Sunday 1/7 beginning at 1:00. You can donate to help cover Funeral and Memorial costs here.”
Steuer is survived by his parents.
May he rest in peace.

Courtney Stodden Begs and Pleads to Reunite with Husband
This not exactly just in:
Courtney Stodden isn"t the most emotionally stable woman on the planet.
We mean no harsh judgment by this statement.
We"re just stating a fact that Stodden herself has pretty much owned up to, such as when she shared a troubling portrait of herself on Instagram late last year and wrote as a simple caption:
Devastated.
That was the first we had heard from Stodden since August, when she opened up about her split from husband Doug Hutchison.
"Our relationship is really interesting to say the least because there are so many emotions," Stodden said at the time, adding of the actor to whom she was married for six years:
"We are both heartbroken I guess and it’s hard to be in each other’s orbit because of that heartbreak."
In case you forgot, Stodden rose to fame after marrying Hutchison at the age of 16… when he was at the age of 51.
She is also famous for often taking her clothes off online and for trying to establish herself as an actress or a singer.
At the moment, however, she"s nothing more than a heartbroken woman.
She has shared a very emotional video on Instagram that opens as follows:
“So, obviously, I’ve been crying – again. I just want to be honest with you guys about some things. Me and my husband have been going through a really rough time – separation, and ultimately divorce, coming up in a week.
"I’ve, at the last minute, realized that I don’t want it and I want to try to make things work.”
It sounds like the divorce papers are not yet signed, and that Stodden hopes they never are.
“Ever since we’ve been separated and he’s moved away, I’ve been really depressed and I’ve realized that I don’t deserve him,” Stodden continued, crying.
“I love him so much and I need him back in my life. I just need him to come help me and be with me and I love him.”
As a caption to the video below, Stodden wrote:
So basically this is what I’ve been dealing with in my life … it’s been rough. To say the least. Everyone goes through shit … this is mine. You aren’t alone.
