Actor Brian Tarantina, known for his portrayals of Jackie in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and Bootsy in “Gilmore Girls,” died in his Hell’s Kitchen apartment early Saturday in an apparent drug overdose, police sources told The Post.
The 60-year-old was found unresponsive just before 12:45 a.m. Saturday, according to cops.
Sources said the actor was face-up on his couch when responders found him in the apartment — where a number of prescriptions and glassine envelopes with a white powder inside were recovered.
EMS pronounced Tarantina dead in his apartment shortly after cops arrived, according to police.
A representative said in a statement the actor “had been ill lately,” according to People.
