R.I.P. Gary Coleman

[Brandon Strader]

(pictured above at Video Games Live in 2005)

Didn't expect this at all... very sad news. As many of you know, Gary Coleman was in Diff'rent Strokes, popular for the whole "What you talkin' bout, Willis" line... He was also in Postal 2, which I never played, but is a notable video game appearance. I was always a fan from seeing him on other stuff, and he was even in commercials. I don't remember what for exactly but I remember him in the commercials. He was hilarious.

R.I.P.

Taken from kotaku: In addition to his Postal 2 cameo and promotional work, Coleman was also the voice of Kenny Falmouth in The Curse of Monkey Island.

Hahah, he's going to be buried in baby's My First Coffin.

A man can't die three times Schwaltz... Stop lying.

I best new him as LeBeau from The Gary Coleman Show.

Speaking of which, the guy who plays(ed?) Miley's 'late-teenage' brother on Hannah Montana is like 30-something. Ick.

Austin St. John was the only 40 year-old Power Ranger.

Not that bad I gotta say.

Everybody's got a special kind of story, everybody's got a time to shine. Don't matter what ya got; not a lot? So what! They'll have their's, you'll have yours, and I'll have mine, and together we'll be fine.

RIP Gary. <3

WAIT!! That is the Diff'rent Strokes theme!!

[Charlie's Angel]

I pretty much saw this coming. I thinkif anyone in the entertainment idustry has really had it tough in modern years their whole lives, it was Gary Coleman. I do hope he's going to a better place.

[Melbu Frahma]

This is a sad day indeed. Gary Coleman, you will be missed - 42 is too young to die.

[Mirby]

A good number though. 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Makes sense to me!

Rest for all eternity, guy who ran for governor during the run-off election of 2003.

What, he did.

Here's another story

Read that one if you can. Very sad but he was a smart dude.

[big giant circles]

He's in the promo video vouching for VGL on their site. The man was an advocate for games and game music.

RIP GC.

Austin St. John was the only 40 year-old Power Ranger

Not to hijack this thread away from Gary Coleman, but I just checked wikipedia and the dude is only 34 now. Maybe I'm missing some type of in-joke here or something though?

it's sad to see his life cut

so short

[Poke'G]

NNOOOOO! Aww man I'm gonna miss that guy. I hope this summer doesn't turn into another celebrity death extravaganza...

Austin St. John was the only 40 year-old Power Ranger.

The Red Ranger? He was the youngest cast on that show which I, as an 8 year old, thought was weird since he was the leader. He's probably not even 40 now.

EDIT: He's not. Thanks Ralphis!

[Brandon Strader]

We've already lost 2 of the most beloved midgets of our era between Dio and Gary Coleman... I think any other celebrity deaths this year will have no chance to measure up.

Gary Coleman was not a midget.

I heard he's doing porn or something now. I'm too scared to look it up to confirm though.

[Brandon Strader]

Gary Coleman was not a midget.

Dio wasn't a midget either, just unusually short. It was just a little joke.

Also some guy named Dennis Hopper died at 74. I don't think he had anything to do with games or music though.

[Poke'G]

*Ahem*

Does the name King Koopa mean anything to you?

That's not him. Looks like him, but it's not.
