NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- Eddie Hassell, an actor best known for a recurring role on the NBC show Surface and the movie The Kids Are All Right, died Sunday after being shot in Texas, according to his representative. He was 30.
Hassell was shot outside his girlfriends apartment in Grand Prairie, a Dallas suburb, around 1 a.m., according to the representative, Alan Mills. He was shot in the abdomen and taken to a nearby hospital, where he died, Mills said. A call seeking additional information from the Grand Prairie Police Department was not immediately returned.

Skateboardings been a huge part of my life; it also got me cast in commercials, Hassell told the magazine. I was into horseback riding and rodeos in Texas and when I moved to LA, I got into skating. I did all my own stunts. Im into anything with a board: surfing, wakeboarding.
