Early Life

Jansen Rane Panettiere was born on September 25, 1994, in Palisades, New York. He was the son of Lesley Vogel, a former actress, and Alan "Skip" Panettiere, a fire department lieutenant. His older sister, Hayden Panettiere, became a major child actress before rising to fame on "Heroes" and "Nashville."

Growing up in a family already connected to the entertainment industry, Jansen began acting at a young age. His early work included guest appearances on television and voice roles that allowed him to build a résumé before he was a teenager.

Early Acting Career

Panettiere made some of his earliest television appearances in shows such as "Even Stevens," "Hope & Faith," and "Third Watch." In 2004, he appeared alongside his sister Hayden in the Disney Channel movie "Tiger Cruise," a drama set aboard a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier during the September 11 attacks.

During this period, he also became active as a voice actor. He voiced Periwinkle on "Blue's Clues," young Stripes in "Racing Stripes," young Rodney Copperbottom in "Robots," and Shovelmouth Boy in "Ice Age: The Meltdown." He also voiced Truman X on the Nickelodeon animated series "The X's."

Film and Television Roles

As he grew older, Panettiere continued moving between television, voice work, and film. In 2007, he starred in the Nickelodeon television movie "The Last Day of Summer," playing a boy who wishes to repeat the same day over and over. He later appeared in "The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry," "The Perfect Game," and "The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone."

In 2012, he again worked with Hayden Panettiere in "The Forger," a drama that also starred Josh Hutcherson, Lauren Bacall, Alfred Molina, and Dina Eastwood. His later credits included "The Martial Arts Kid," "Summer Forever," "How High 2," and "Love and Love Not."

Art Career

In addition to acting, Panettiere was a visual artist. He produced paintings and drawings with a loose, expressive style and often shared his work publicly. In the later years of his life, art appeared to become one of his primary creative outlets.

His family later described his art as a major reflection of who he was, emphasizing his creativity, warmth, and emotional sensitivity. After his death, his artwork became an important part of how fans and family remembered him.

Death

Jansen Panettiere died on February 19, 2023, in New York. He was 28 years old. His family later said he died from cardiomegaly, or an enlarged heart, combined with aortic valve complications.

His death drew tributes from fans who remembered him from his childhood acting roles, his later television work, and his connection to Hayden Panettiere. While his career was often linked to his famous sister, Jansen Panettiere built a substantial résumé of his own across live-action film, television, animation, and art.
