Todd Bridges discussed the challenges faced by his former co-star, Gary Coleman. Bridges compared his own post-TV career with Coleman’s, attributing his success to branching out into dramatic roles such as criminals, lawyers, and doctors after getting sober. Multifaceted acting opened doors for him that Coleman had significant difficulty accessing due to his distinctive physical appearance. Homing in on an incident in 1998, he described a time when Coleman, then working as a security guard, had an altercation with a fan that led to court. He noted Coleman’s difficulty in transitioning from a beloved TV actor to regular life roles, arguing that the public’s expectations and media scrutiny worsened his difficult situation. He also shared his experience transitioning from drama to stand-up comedy, emphasizing that a background in drama makes it easier to switch genres compared to starting as a comedian.
