“AJ was a beautiful, kind soul and a bright light every day on set,” the agency said in a Facebook post. He moved from New York to Charleston to be our John B stand/photo double in this season. My heart breaks for the family of AJ who has suddenly lost his wife and children. We are thinking of them and sending our condolences to their loved ones.
