Details of Lance Kerwin’s obituary and the reason for his death have not been disclosed. The actor Lance Kerwin passed away in San Clemente, California, at the age of 62.
According to his daughter Savannah, an autopsy is being conducted to determine the cause of death.
The actor is best known for his role in the miniseries Salem’s Lot from 1979 and the NBC series James at 15, later renamed James at 16, which aired from 1977 to 1978.
As a young actor who first gained fame for his work in television and movies like “The Boy Who Drank Too Much,” Kerwin began his acting career. Kerwin played the character James Hunter in “James at 15” and “James at 16.”
James at 15 was a 1977 television series that followed a young teen boy passionate about photography and was compelled to relocate with his family from Oregon to Massachusetts.
Despite the fact that “James at 15” had only two seasons, Kerwin’s leading role made him a teenage idol.

‘SALEM’S LOT was the first King book I read, and its opening line – “Everybody thought the man and the boy were father and son” – hits differently today. Lance Kerwin was the perfect Mark Petrie.
