American actor
Born: February 8, 1968
Died: May 28, 2010
Actor Gary Coleman’s multiple health problems stunted his growth at 4 feet, 8 inches. However, Coleman’s small stature and charming personality made him perfect for Hollywood, and in 1978, at age 10, he became the star of the hit sitcom Diff’rent Strokes; he played the beloved character Arnold Jackson, an African American orphan who is adopted by a wealthy white benefactor, Philip Drummond, on the series, which was an instant success. Coleman’s common exclamation on the show, “What’choo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” quickly became a pop culture catchphrase. The actor went on to appear in the films On the Right Track (1981) and The Kid With the Broken Halo (1982), which were later adapted into the cartoon series The Gary Coleman Show, among other projects. Coleman died on May 28, 2010, at the age of 42, after suffering from an intracranial hemorrhage.

- I have four strikes against me. I’m black, I’m short, I’m intelligent, and I have a medical condition.
- You can involve yourself in electronics, computers, puzzles… there’s a lot of creativity and brain working. There’s a lot to model trains that people don’t realize.
