Todd Bridges

Todd Bridges rose to prominence when he was young, playing the role of Willis Jackson on the hit sitcom Diff’rent Strokes. He also had a recurring role in another famous sitcom, Everybody Hates Chris. According to reports, when the 55-year-old star did Diff’rent Strokes, he could easily make $15,000 to $30,000 a week. However, when his shows ended, he started to have bad vices.

Bridges experienced several legal problems, resulting in his need for an attorney. Fortunately, he managed to get over the dark days of his life. However, it couldn’t be denied that it badly affected his job as he had a hard time to land a role. For now, he might be at ease, knowing he could still play parts in different low-budget projects. Bridges wrote a book titled Killing Willis: From Unusual Brush Strokes to the Golden Mean to the Life I Always Wanted. He appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show on April 28, 2010 to discuss the difficulties of the past described in his memoirs.
