I just read on another board that the guy who played Smokey killed his mother earlier this year. Erik Michael Tristan/aka/Erik Vandenandel) I was shocked! He had a history of drug use and confrontations with mom. I am so sorry to hear this. He seemed to be a very pleasant guy in the movie. I guess I was confusing him with the real Smokey. cbs2.com/local/Erik.Vandenandel.beating.2.916339.htmlSAN FERNANDO, Calif. Vandenandel is accused of killing 65-year- old Sheila Elaine Vandenandel early Wednesday morning at the home in the 16000 block of Yarnell Street. A Sylmar man was charged with murder Friday after allegedly beating his mother to death with a baseball bat at a mobile home park. Erik Vandenandel appeared in San Fernando Superior Court Friday but his arraignment was postponed until Feb. 5. Vandenandel is accused of killing 65-year-old Sheila Elaine Vandenandel early Wednesday morning at the home in the 16000 block of Yarnell Street. Police had responded to a report of a burglary when they found the body of Sheila Vandenandel at 1:10 a.m. She had been beaten to death with an aluminum baseball bat. Officers were met at the home by the son and female. Both were taken to the Mission Station for questioning, and the son was eventually booked. Her son, Erik, was arrested later that day and his bail was set for one million dollars. Police said a motive was not disclosed, but neighbors told broadcast outlets there had been trouble between the mother and son before. If convicted, Vandenandel could face life in prison without the possibility of parole. (© 2008 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Please know your facts. Erik is an amazing man who never meant to hurt his mother. He lives everyday apologizing to her for what happened. It was an accident that led to her death. He loves his mother. If you have ever had the opportunity of meeting him you would know.

The unfortunate accident that occurred that horrible evening are the reason self forgiveness seems impossible. Yet, God gives me just enough courage to put one foot in front of the other everyday. Knowing you can't believe everything you read Mr. Ruffin...I still keep a positive memory of our time together, your work ethic, and hold you in the highest regard as an artist. There's only one Judge and one day we're gonna have a long talk. Peace and Blessings

Unfortunately Erik passed in March of this year. Not sure what happened but thought people should know that.
