Josh Ryan Evans had a rare disease that prevented his body from growing, which allowed him to play children even after he hit puberty. He starred in Passions and Ally McBeal before dying in 2002 during a medical procedure. Shockingly, by that time he just wrapped a death scene of his character for Passions, so it was aired the day of the actor’s death.
