‘Kindergarten Cop’ actor Christian Cousins is dead

American actor Christian Cousins, best known for his childhood role in the 1990 comedy film Kindergarten Cop, has died at the age of 43.

Cousins was found dead at his home in Irvine, California, on October 20, 2026, after members of his family requested a welfare check when they were unable to reach him.

According to the Irvine Police Department, officers discovered his body after responding to the request. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

His death was publicly announced on November 13 by his half-brother, Jonas Roeser, who disclosed that the former actor had been seriously ill with liver disease.

In an emotional tribute shared on Instagram on October 22, Roeser described Cousins as a passionate and energetic person who had big dreams.

“He was a character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams,” he wrote.

Roeser added that he found comfort in believing his brother was now at peace and free from the pain he had experienced.

Cousins gained recognition as a child actor after sharing the role of Dominic Palmieri with his identical twin brother, Joseph “Joey” Cousins, in Kindergarten Cop.

The 1990 comedy starred Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger as Detective John Kimble, an undercover police officer who posed as a kindergarten teacher while investigating a dangerous criminal.

Cousins and his twin brother also appeared in the popular television series Knots Landing, where they shared the role of Bobby Gibson Ewing between 1987 and 1992.

Their other acting credits included Critters 3, Intruders and Twin Sitters, which marked their final film appearance in 1995.

After stepping away from acting, Cousins pursued a career in business and eventually became an executive in the furniture industry. He also disclosed during a 2020 reunion with his Kindergarten Cop castmates that he was a co-owner of a CBD business.

During the reunion, which marked 30 years since the film’s release, Cousins reunited with Schwarzenegger and other cast members to reflect on their experiences making the movie.

He recalled how he and his twin brother were cast together because having two children play the same character helped filmmakers work around restrictions on the number of hours young actors could spend on set.
