His role in "After Jimmy"


Does anyone else remember him from this TV movie?
His role wasn't too far into the film, but I always found his performance to be memorably haunting.


I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

He will always be Jimmy Stapp to me.

Mr. Peter Facinelli may be mostly known as Mike Dexter and the father vampire in those Twilight movies but I will always remember him as Jimmy Stapp, that scared, sad 18 year old boy who shot himself in the head while his parents were at church.

I also think After Jimmy(1996) is the best made for TV movie about teen suicide ever made.

Yay! I'm glad this film has fans other than myself! It went almost unnoticed at the time of its release, and is never replayed which is a real shame.

I agree 100% that this is the best film made about teen suicide! Everyone's reactions seemed realistic & the ending was decent.
I hated the way the kids & dad ganged up on the mom though, she was just trying to keep it together.
The DAD was the one who annoyed me the most.

That was a very sad movie what annoyed me was his parents knew there was something wrong with him but they didn't go into detail about it. I feel so bad for the mom when she finds his body and I feel bad for his sister when she says "Are we ever going to see Jimmy again?" I wished they had this movie on DVD.
