Hassell’s manager said that his client was shot outside his girlfriend’s apartment, according to Entertainment Weekly, and that she was inside at the time and did not see the assailant.

The actor famously played the role of Clay in The Kids Are All Right, which also starred Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Annette Bening, Josh Hutcherson and Mia Wasikowska and was nominated for four Oscars.

He also starred in NBC series Surface, and also appeared in 2010 Steve Jobs film Jobs, as well as Devious Maids, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Bones, and Longmire.
