Yeah, I think everyone knows about his struggles with substance abuse. I wanted to highlight something different and positive, and I didn't know this story until recently and I thought it was pretty cool! Thanks for watching my video!
Great story about Todd. It’s been awhile since ive watched Diff’rent Strokes but Todd was great in it. He did great on the emotional scenes. I didn’t watch Barney Miller or Fish but the Little House on the Prairie episode he was in was one of the best episodes of the series
Todd Bridges was my first crush! lol I loved him and Janet Jackson on Different Strokes. She played Charlene. They dated in real life for 3 years. I liked the Chips roller skating episode where Punch the CHP had a celebrity state a thon! He could really skate. I liked the Different Strokes episode when Willis and Arnold went back to their black roots and Kimberly and Mr. Drummond role played them. A poignant episode. Thank you.
Ever since the documentary Quiet on Set came out, it makes me so sad that many child stars that helped bring so much joy to our childhoods were treated so terribly & traumatized. Todd Bridges is an example of a child star who's gone through so much in his life post-Diff'rent Strokes. He's been through hell & back, unlike his castmates Dana Plato & Gary Coleman, who've both met their tragic & untimely ends. May they R.I.P. 🕊 Glad that Todd is doing well & living his life to the fullest. Thanks so much for sharing, Steve! 👍🏻 I have a very special suggestion for you. Would you please consider doing a "Whatever Happened To..." profile of actress Charlotte Stewart (Little House on the Prairie; Eraserhead; Twin Peaks) in a future video?
Love the video, Steve! It's so great to hear inspiring stories like this one.
Thanks Dave!
Thanks Stephen, Todd's story is pretty well known, so it's nice to see something posted about him, that is positive feel good story!

Todd’s best acting was during the first season of Diff’rent Strokes.. It was the best writing of the series, and gave him some complex storylines..
Totally agree!
The first five were the best but no lie Willis had a handful of storyline in the firet two

He was a great actor!

Todd was on an episode of the Waltons in 1977.
👍
The one that had the worst drug habit arguably and the only one left alive Left Alive out of the whole cast
Yup! I'm glad to see that he's been able to turn things around!
Sure, I watched the show but I don’t remember anything special about it. It wasn’t a favorite.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
