It's a shame how Gary Coleman's life turned out.

[Mike the Executioner]

Guy never had a chance. With all the depressing shyt he went through, it's easy to forget that when he was a kid, he was one of the few black people who starred in a TV show.

Classic example of being typecast and dealing with stage parents.

Had a kidney transplant that was successful at first and finallly allowed him to mature physically. Then the transplant failed and he spent the whole last season of Diff'rent Strokes looking like he wanted to punch people in the face just for living.

His last wife was abusive and played on his insecurities. Forced him to go on daytime television to deal with it.

And this was all before his tragic death.

That show was a curse. Didn’t the white chick become a porn star?

 

[AquaCityBoy]

The worst part was when he started doing those loan commercials talmbout, "I was so broke, I wanted to kill myself! "

That was 4-5 years before he passed. Little did we know that was the beginning of the end for him.

Her 2nd biggest credit after Different Strokes was the CDrom game Night trap
