Periwinkle DISAPPEARO - Blue's Clues S6 Voice ACtor Jansen Panettiere Dead At Age 29

 Unfortunately, this bad news will NOT have you exclaim "Peri pocus hocus crocus!"

We are so saddened to report the death of Jansen Panettiere, the actor who got his first job as the third and final original voice actor of Blue Traci Paige Johnson's next door neighbor Periwinkle the cat in the Season 6 final season of the original run of Nick Jr./Noggin's groundbreaking Emmy®-nominated preschool series franchise Blue's Clues who died Sunday at the age of 29.

Panettiere got his first acting job on said Nick Jr. series when he was just 9 years old. His other Nick contributions over the years include Nicktoon The X's, live-action sitcom Marvin Marvin and the Nickelodeon Movies 2007 theatrical feature film The Last Day of Summer starring late comedian Gavie MacLeod. He also contributed to the 2004 Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) Tigers Crusie when he was just 10 years old.

Our hearts and consoldences go out to his brother Hayden and his entire family who are suffering this terrible passing. It's currently unknown if the current version of Blue, Blue's Clues & You! will make a dedication episode in Jansen's honor, as the franchise has had a few celebrity dedications over the years.

RIP JAnsen. Thank you for all of your years of support for the children's television industry. You will be dearly missed in kitty heaven.

RIP
Jansen Panettiere
