Even then you could see the seething hatred he had for Gary Coleman.

How much of Todd Bridges dies inside every time someone runs up to him and says “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” We bet at first it was a lot, like 1 percent. But now, years later, he probably barely notices. If you ever wanted to be the person that sapped the last little bit of joy out of a former beloved child star, though, tonight’s your chance when Bridges is at LAX inside Luxor for Way Back Wednesdays. We suggest you go for the montage approach to really break him down.

Incidentally, even though Bridges stabbed a guy in ’93, he did it in self-defense as his roommate attacked him with a sword. It makes Bridges the first former child star to defend himself from a sword attack since that time Jerry Mathers was accidentally sent back in time to the 1300s.
