Brandon Strader Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (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. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-gary-coleman-20100529,0,2088052.story ^link added so it happened 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.

ocre Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie's Angel Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 This is a sad day indeed. Gary Coleman, you will be missed - 42 is too young to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big giant circles Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 He's in the promo video vouching for VGL on their site. The man was an advocate for games and game music. RIP GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphis Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poke'G Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Strader Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
