Actor Nicky Katt died by suicide at his Los Angeles home on April 8, according to law enforcement sources. The 54-year-old’s body was found hanging in his apartment bedroom after his landlord discovered him five days later. Katt, best known for his roles in “Dazed and Confused” and “Boston Public,” did not leave a suicide note. Born on May 11, 1970, in South Dakota, Katt began his acting career with small roles on TV shows such as “Quincy, M.E.” and “Father Murphy.” His breakthrough role came in 1993 with the film “Dazed and Confused,” which marked the beginning of a decade-long steady stream of work. Despite becoming less visible after “Boston Public” ended its run from 2000 to 2002, Katt continued to appear in notable films like “School of Rock” and “Sin City.”
