I met Todd in 2008 on a flight from LAX to MSP, on his way to Iowa to do a talk show. Poor guy, we were in economy…..and he had the middle seat. At first, I had no idea who he was, until we started talking and he said he was an actor, mostly know for Different Strokes. OMG, I then realized who he was….lol. He was a real nice guy and we chatted most of the flight. However, he was in a lot of pain due to a hernia he had gotten during the Hulk Hogan Celebrity Challenge, where Todd was the 9 person eliminated, and losing to Dennis Rodman. I asked if they had given him any pain killers…..and he looked at me and said “Really Dude”? I let out an “Oh Sh-t”…..sorry about that”. I had forgotten Todd had/has an addiction problem and couldn’t take anything considered a narcotic. I must have had a real stupid look on my face, because he started laughing and said “It’s all good”. Yep, what a pleasure it was to spend a little time with him. It was definitely a memorable experience.
I still love this show. For all the horrible things actors and actresses go through, they gave us a wonderful part of themselves . They gave us a world far from their pain or other's rough patches .
As a retired nurse I can tell you for a surety that the patients I dealt with would tell me God was the reason they were clean from drugs 99% of the time and only 1% would say that they did it on their own. Spiritual health can affect other aspects of health, meaning physical, mental, and social health increasing a will to live a better life. It’s being incorporated into health care. I’m glad to see he survived because countless did not!
TURN IT ALL OVER TO A HIGHER POWER. EASY TO SAY. HARD TO DOOO. 43 YRS. COME SEPT. WITH GODS HELP AND A DAY AT A TIME YOU WILL DOOO IT. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, DON'T QUIT ON YOURSELF. AND NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP ON YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH THE STRENGH YOU NEED. YOU ARE WORTH IT. JUST INCASE NOBODY EVER TOLD YOU. NOW YOU KNOW!!
Grace - thank you, without an intervention of God in an addicts life it is a horrible experience. Addiction is the only disease that kills everything that you have ever loved before slowly killing the addict. One of the facilities where I worked for years had a saying ; Out the gate by 8 , In the spoon by noon . We had addicts O.D. in the parking lot, it is a horrible life. One of my pastors said this ; if you could see the end result of that first line , shot , snook or smoke of drugs- would it be so tempting. The enemy never shows you selling your body , abandoning your children or robbing families and friends just for a HIGH. Jesus Christ is the way , the truth and the life ! If you want real peace, love in your life it’s only found in Jesus Christ !
For me it was therapy,therapy to face the trauma therapy to see why I was behaving the way I was behaving face the fact I was in pain learning how to face and take responsibility knowing and seeing life from a different perceptive. The Bible and god stuff didn’t make sense to me & for me it made things worst I am a part of that 1% What ever works
Sounds like Todd Bridges went through a rough time finding himself, but has come through a good man. Kudos to him for his strength and best wishes for continued success.
I used to judge but I can't anymore because that same finger I pointed at someone else I eventually had to point at myself . I'm better than nobody . But being a survivor of many destruction's . I show respect to people who survive and tell their story. Todd Bridges the last man standing ⭐⭐💪⭐⭐
People get clean without prayer to a non existent god. Trust me, I know. It's a community of good people that help. Nothing supernatural about it. But if you need to thank your god, thank him for the hurricanes, tornadoes & child leukemia.
@carribgirl007 Do you have proof that isn't anecdotal that prayer answers aren't just coincidence or proof that a god even exists? Also, do you thank your all mighty , all loving god for hurricanes, tornadoes and child leukemia?
@@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety you are a miserable soul. You so desperately need a response. If you don't believe in God that is your right, stop badgering others who not only believe in God, but know God is real. No one is questioning your beliefs or your comment. Show others the same courtesy. I hope your soul finds peace.
Very good. Kudos to Todd. He deserves happiness. Owned his mistakes and shortcomings, never made excuses nor gave up, worked even harder and overcame.💪🏽👏🏽 I enjoyed this video.
What does the EL mean at the end of your last name? Is that part of your religion? What Lord are you talking about? Jesus the son or Jehovah the father
Yup. Father son holy spirit.. baptized in the name of the Trinity after I accepted Christ as my savior. The El...is just a reference to the comic book character Superman 😆
I love Todd Bridges.grew up watching him.always been a great actor.Needs to be on the big screen today.and needs to be offered and given television and movie roles. ❤ 🙏
Wow Todd you had a golden spoon into the business…yeah back in the day children was seen and not heard and lot of us suffered abuse by a family member and it hurts….really but drugs don’t solve it….glad you found faith😊that can really help😊
I completely surrendered to God! I needed God more than I needed breath. I didn’t want live anymore. I was in so much pain and sorrow. Jesus came and grabbed my heart at 18 years old and it’s been me and Him ever since.❤ God save my life and my soul🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Iam So Happy For Todd I Use To See Him Back In The Days Rolling In The Hood In His Convertible Porche Prayers Work Keep Up The Good Work My Brother!🙏🏽🙏🏽
These actors and actresses gave us a good part of themselves despite the pain they have gone through in real life .They gave us laughter, and who am I to say different.❤😊.
that intro 😂 got me rolling I'm as big as you are and if I want to go out this door 🚪 then I'll go it's just something about the way he delivered that line
Hollywood is a Twilight Zone. Same for modeling, singing, whatever talent one has. It can and will swallow up an individual. That is why we see people dying "in the lap of luxury." Being empty on the inside is a terminal illness.
🙏😔Bless you Todd, keep being strong, God can be a way to talk an contemplate on your life an how you want to live it, ive always believed in God an me an my wife of 33yrs this Feb. ❤we are spiritual connected an God is our Savior..I believe you call on him an you don't need Rehab but if you don't believe you will have a long road an that road might not end good😢so be blessed an keep looking to the future...Amen
Good to hear everything got better for Todd Bridges. I think the last I had heard anything about him was years ago when he was in the News for all the bad stuff.
I remember first seeing him as a child on Little House on the Prairie and the Waltons, and saying to myself what a great little actor..In one episode on Little House he had me in tears. He was so adorable..A shame his life took a bad turn..He could have been another Denzel
Nobody needs "another Denzel." People need to live their own truths, their own reality, and overcome their own struggles. Being a copycat never works. He's put the work in to reconnect to himself. He is happy and enjoying life authentically. Well worth the effort for any of us no matter the nature of our struggles. It's life. It's no cakewalk. Some of us rise. Others fall.
It’s hard to listen to people who were well off try to explain what they went through being the reason for their demise. Especially when you’ve been through it and worst. I just hope he’s experienced enough pain that he stays clean and returns to maturing in a healthy spiritual manner. Escaping life is what he chose using drugs. Life isn’t meant to be escaped, but lived. “Welcome back” Mr. Bridges. I grew up being entertained by you. I’m so glad you made it through hell. Many don’t. Stay! “Thank You!” for sharing ❤️🖤💚
I don't understand why you would use click bate as you did with what was a story Of a youngman who managed to successfully overcome some very difficult times in his life ending up happy with a lovely family and financial security.
The footage at the beginning of this vid is from the episode where Willis' alcoholic friend Jeremy died from a DWI. This was explained by Willis at the end when he came home with a bandaged forehead. The two were leaving a bar, and Jeremy crashed into a big truck after running a red light, which left him in a coma. Willis asked Mr. Drummond if there's anything they can to do help Jerry, and that he's really a good guy who's kinda lost and has nobody that cares about him. As soon as Drummond gladly accepted, the phone rang. It was the hospital calling for Willis. You couldn't hear the other end of the line, but after he asked how Jeremy's doing, his facial expressions said enough. Everything from the "listening" face to the "oh no" as he started crying, was some top-notch acting from Todd Bridges. Many blessings to him, and R.I.P. to the rest of the original cast -- Gary Coleman, Conrad Bain, Dana Plato, and Charlotte Rae. I am including Jeremy as well, because you could really feel the realism in this episode.
Amen Our Almighty Creator Father God is So Good to his Children his Amazing Love Mercy and Grace is so Amazing Keeping Faith in God saved him to do the work Amen ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙌🏾😌
I have watched Tod Bridges all my life along with the others and I am so happy that he made it through and he's doing well. God bless you Legend and your family ❤️
Hello Todd, glad u doing awesome. U were my childhood crush, still upset I missed u at a local department store where u were doing a meet n greet with autographs.
I’m in total shock, not for what he’s been through but his appearance, how does he look sooo old if I didn’t know his voice I would’ve said it was someone else , how sad , I wish him and family the best moving forward
Hopefully is goes on Shay Shay and tell all, so glad he got his life together, Different stokes was one of my favorite shows, and so was Dana Plato :) So sad about the whole cast, R.I.P for those who are deceased.
I grew up on different strokes, good times, Sanford and sons, silver spoons, facts of life, and all of the other great shows. This is heart breaking that he is the last on standing of his show, as far as whole cast goes, because Janet is still around right?
You led with a clip of him making a statement from jail about how "she never said she'd put me in the county jail," but no narration about who he was referring to, and what he was in there for and all that. Just glossed right over that part. I know the gist of it, but other people might not.
With 15 going 16 years clean and sober. I know how feeding them demons feel In order to feel some relief. I am glad I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. And unlike some people I didn't rely on religion to get me thru. But more power to the people who needed a higher power to get back on track.
I SAW TODD ON LITTLE HOUSE. I SAW SO MANY EPISODES OF "THE WALTONS" AND I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING HIM, SAME WITH "FISH", BUT I DIDN'T WATCH FISH OFTEN OR "BARNEY MILLER." I DID WATCH "EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS" AND TODD WAS GREAT ON THAT SHOW! LOVED HIM! HE WAS SO FUNNY AND OF COURSE, "WHAT'S HAPPENIN." HE'S A BRILLIANT ACTOR. ❤❤❤❤❤❤. I HADN'T REALIZED HE'S THE ONLY ONE LEFT STANDING ON THE SHOW. HE HAD A ESPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER ON THE SHOW. ❤
God bless Todd Bridges for the struggles he went through and how he overcame them. His faith and trust in God never let him down. It's no fun going through tough times but once we go through them and come out on the other side, we get strength we never knew we had. Todd Bridges now has a testimony and platform to help other people.
I went through and honestly, am still going through ( but managing it) the substance abuse issues Todd had/ has for the the same reasons; severe Childhood abuse and neglect. Mine was from my mother, . Born in 1966, I was the first in my mothers large Family of 9 to be born out of wed lock. Although, it is far too common now, almost 90 percent of black children now are; I believe that was the source of her resentment, hostility and embarrassment which resulted in my harsh childhood. I think that his addiction , as is mine, is still there. I am managing mine by putting barriers in place to keep me from going too far. Todd has changed addictions, he has traded a "chemical" addiction with drugs in for the "psychological" addiction of religion. Both are merely distortions of your reality, which is does not change the physical or tangible things, it changes the perception. both are methods of coping and comprehending of the pain and turmoil,......that it, the real problem / source of the pain still exists.
There is a distinction between "religion" and a connection to a power higher than you. As you continue to work through remember the breath you breathe is not promised nor is tomorrow. Be the best you can be for yourself and look for something positive you can encourage in others. Works wonder for "addictions" and recovery.
Who's editing this clip? Todd did not use the catch phrase "Whatchu' talkin' bout?" That was his co-star Gary Coleman who played his brother It even shows a clip of him saying it!🙄
"95,no 98% of my issues were Hollywood. They build you up just to bring you down" So fast forward to today and his children are acting,as he has minor parts as well?? I always liked Todd Bridges. He always appeared to me to be a genuine person. Unfortunately addiction can grab anyone that suffers inner termoil as well as just the average person. Addiction is tough and thankfully his will is strong and he pulled through it.
Todd, a good childhood friend of mine... He's not exactly the last cast standing, he shares similar life experiences as Shevar R. "Dudley" the neighborhood friend of "Arnold" ... The only picture of me in my childhood is, a photo of me and Todd " Todd at 15 and me at 16... My Mother holds that photo close to her heart til this day.

I am truly happy for Todd this man has been through a lot in life, I watched it first hand. God bless you 🙏🏾. 😊
FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST HEALED TODD, YES!
agree 💯 💯
Keep getting better, Todd. So proud for you
Glad he survived and doing so well ... He looks much younger than his actual age even after all he's been through in his life .
Only one alive
Prayer does work’ Awesome story! He sure does have a type.
People get clean without prayer to a non existent god. Trust me, I know. It's a community of good people that help. Nothing supernatural about it.
But if you need to thank your god, thank him for the hurricanes, tornadoes & child leukemia.
Sadly, "prayers" do NOT work.
It's taking ACTIONS, that truly works and shows positive results.
Prayers do work indeed. Our God is an amazing God always❤️

He out lived every main cast member from that show.
But will he live as long as Conrad Bain ? (89 years)

This is old news, it's not new! Todd Bridges has turned his life around 20 years ago and doing very well.
Old to you. Not so much for others. Drop the presumption. It's judgmental and not helpful.
This is good news
Lighten up. It was new to me and I'm sure for many others.

Hollywood has ruined a lot of lives for years. And it don't stop.
Maybe kids should go to university and learn valuable skills that can land them decent-paying jobs, instead of acting on TV shows.
Hollywood is a Twilight Zone. Same for modeling, singing, whatever talent one has. It can and will swallow up an individual. That is why we see people dying "in the lap of luxury." Being empty on the inside is a terminal illness.
I'd say for every kid it ruined, many more times it helped.
Good for him!! Blessings! I remember as kid waiting to get his autograph after they had filmed something at Ladera Park

Correction: Pearl (Mary Jo Catlett), Sam (Danny Cooksey) and Dudley (Shavar Ross) are all still alive.
They now reside in the Where Are They now files with Spinal Tap.
Hopefully is goes on Shay Shay and tell all, so glad he got his life together, Different stokes was one of my favorite shows, and so was Dana Plato :) So sad about the whole cast, R.I.P for those who are deceased.
i had a crush on him.. he was so fine.. i love him.
I'm glad that Todd has overcame his demons and has now dedicated his life to helping others overcome their demons and becoming a man of God.
Cool now he finally have the life he always wanted and became a better man than his dad
Proud of you Todd
I use to have a crush on him 😂
I’m wishing him well. May god be with him in his toughest moments 🙏🏾
And he was such a good actor
I grew up on different strokes, good times, Sanford and sons, silver spoons, facts of life, and all of the other great shows. This is heart breaking that he is the last on standing of his show, as far as whole cast goes, because Janet is still around right?
I think he could be a great actor by honing in on all that trauma and putting it into a character on screen. Keep doing good things! Stay positive
I am happy for Todd Bridges!

I think that his addiction , as is mine, is still there. I am managing mine by putting barriers in place to keep me from going too far.
Todd has changed addictions, he has traded a "chemical" addiction with drugs in for the "psychological" addiction of religion.
Both are merely distortions of your reality, which is does not change the physical or tangible things, it changes the perception.
both are methods of coping and comprehending of the pain and turmoil,......that it, the real problem / source of the pain still exists.
There is a distinction between "religion" and a connection to a power higher than you. As you continue to work through remember the breath you breathe is not promised nor is tomorrow. Be the best you can be for yourself and look for something positive you can encourage in others. Works wonder for "addictions" and recovery.
Legend in his own mind
Only love foretold and his family ❤
Yes, I love it.
I forgot all about him😮
The pic...i thought it was LUNELL without her 👓 glasses !🤣
Who's editing this clip?
Todd did not use the catch phrase "Whatchu' talkin' bout?"
That was his co-star Gary Coleman who played his brother
It even shows a clip of him saying it!🙄
Listen to it again. What it’s saying is, Whatchu talking about Willis.
It was funny the first fifty times he said it. After a while, it was silly afterwords.
We have the same birthday. May the 27th ❤❤
Glad he is doing well.
✨️Todd Bridges✨️,
you are one of the
Greatest Troubadours of Life ever 🎭 ❤🖖❤
He always seemed like a cool down to earth dude. He been sober a long time now
I’ve never seen him on any other show he still sounds the same glad he’s not on drugs anymore
Him and Janet still standing 😊😊😊
"95,no 98% of my issues were Hollywood. They build you up just to bring you down"
So fast forward to today and his children are acting,as he has minor parts as well?? I always liked Todd Bridges. He always appeared to me to be a genuine person. Unfortunately addiction can grab anyone that suffers inner termoil as well as just the average person. Addiction is tough and thankfully his will is strong and he pulled through it.
I'm so happy for him. He should do a different strokes reboot. I'd watch it. I always had such a crush on him.
Right! He could be dad to two guys who need a home!
Or a uncle to his brother child who is short like Arnold was
Leave well enough alone
You might want to check the date on the thumbnail image.
He was the best Josh they had on the Walton's.
He got that dome like an alien. lma👽
Todd, a good childhood friend of mine... He's not exactly the last cast standing, he shares similar life experiences as Shevar R. "Dudley"
the neighborhood friend of "Arnold" ... The only picture of me in my childhood is, a photo of me and Todd " Todd at 15 and me at 16... My Mother holds that photo close to her heart til this day.
