Sorry to hear 20-year-old CAMERON BOYCE, who played Luke Ross on the Disney Channel sitcom, "Jessie," passed away Sunday from an ongoing medical condition. He was also in the "Jessie" spin-off, "Bunk'd," as well.
Friends and co-stars have taken to social media to post tributes to Cameron, like CHARLES ESTEN, who played his TV father, and tweeted "Cameron never carried himself with anything but kindness, humility, effortless grace, and great humor. Even as his star ascended with Jessie, and he began to receive the type of fame that can change people, I never saw that change.
