Todd Bridges

Todd Bridges played the part of Willis Jackson in the 1970 sitcom ‘ Diff’rent Strokes’ until the show was axed in the 80’s due to poor ratings.

In his 20’s, Bridges turned to drugs, battling with a cocaine addiction for several years along with dealing to fund his lifestyle.  After several arrests, Bridges was offered the choice of jail or rehab, fortunately choosing rehab.

Now at the age of 44, the actor has turned his life around and admitted that it took for him to hit rock bottom before he could get back on the ladder of rebuilding his life.  He confessed to being strapped down in rehab for three days after acting violently towards the carers and having to wear a diaper, that was when he knew things had to change.

Bridges has now released his autobiography called ‘Killing Willis’ and here’s a clip of his interview;
