THE actor Jan Schwieterman who was best known for appearing in the movie Good Burger has died at the age of 52.

He died at the Mercy hospital in Washington, Missouri.
In a heartbreaking Facebook post, Schwieterman’s brother Chad said: “Rest in peace, brother. We love you and miss you.”
Schwieterman played Kurt Bozwell in the 1997 PG flick Good Burger – a Nickelodeon movie that also starred Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson.
His character was the owner of a rival fast food joint.
He also appeared in series such as Night Man and the 2000 movie Fallen Arches, which was directed by Ron Cosentino.
