 -- who played the main character on Disney's "The Famous Jett Jackson" -- has died after what officials believe is a suicide ... TMZ has learned.  He was 29. 

Sources tell us Young's body was discovered with a gunshot wound that appears to be self-inflicted. 

Young currently appears in the TNT show "Rizzoli & Isles" -- and we're told when he didn't show up to work this morning, staffers called the landlord of Young's L.A. home to check up on the actor. 

We're told ... when the landlord opened the door, he discovered Young's body.

Normally don't get too bent out of shape about celeb deaths... they are sad because someone died... but... i didn't know them... so...

 

but this is really sad to me... I was a Famous Jet Jackson fan... watched it every afternoon w/ my brother.... and my parents watch Rizzoli and Isles and before that, they were big Friday Night Lights fans...so i know he was still around doing his thing. He was one of my first tv crushes tbh...
