Christian Cousins, best known for appearing in Kindergarten Cop as a child actor, has died. He was 43 years old.
The actor, who starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger as kindergartener Dominic Palmieri in the 1990 action comedy, died last month, according to an Instagram post shared on Oct. 22 by his brother, Jonas Roeser. Cousins and his twin brother Joseph “Joey” Cousins shared the role of Dominic.

Roeser said in his post that Cousins and his twin were his siblings through his father that he didn’t meet until he was in college and that they grew up in different states.
“Before that, I grew up watching them on television in Knots Landing and the lead role of Dominic in Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger. But those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian,” Roeser said.
Christian’s credits also include Critters 3 (1991), Intruders (1992) and Twin Sitters (1994).
