In the 2022 holiday movie “Love and Love Not,” he landed his most recent role.

Three weeks ago, Jansen took to Instagram and posted a charming picture of his daughter, Hayden, giving him a haircut. He wrote in the caption that this wasn’t her first attempt at trimming his hair!

In an ecstatic moment, the “Nashville” star flashed a beautiful smile as she diligently focused on her task. Jansen beamed for the camera while taking a seat in preparation of his haircut. To remember and cherish him, Jansen is survived by Hayden and their devoted parents Lesley Vogel and Skip Panettiere.
