Gary Coleman

Gary Wayne Coleman (February 8, 1968 – May 28, 2010) was an American actor, known for his childhood role as Arnold Jackson in the American sitcom Diff'rent Strokes (1978–1986) and for his small stature as an adult. He was described in the 1980s as "one of television's most promising stars". After a successful childhood acting career, Coleman struggled financially later in life. In 1989, he successfully sued his parents and business advisor over misappropriation of his assets, only to declare bankruptcy a decade later.
He guest-starred as himself to bail Drake Parker and Josh Nichols out of jail when they were incarcerated for selling stolen Gary Coleman Grills in the Drake & Josh episode "The Gary Grill". The product parodies the George Foreman Grills.
On May 28, 2010, Coleman suffered from a brain hemorrhage and died at the age of 42 at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.
