The actor dies in Utah days after a brain hemorrhage. After soaring to fame in the late 1970s, his post-TV-series life included a stint as a shopping mall security guard and an unlikely run for California governor.

A real roller coaster of a life for young Arnold.

Unfortunately this wasn't unexpected. So many child actors go down this path.

RIP Gary

Very sad news, will always be remembered for his portrayal of Arnold - his antics on that show always made me laugh. RIP.

One of the classic catchphrases of TV history "What you talkin' about Willis". Laughed every time even though I knew it was coming. Diff'rent Strokes was massive during prime time when it first aired.
