    I know this site mostly chronicles host segment mentions and not movie segments, but I mainly recall Adam Rich being mentioned in the “BUZZ OFF, KID!!!” exchange from ‘Mitchell’
    RIP, 54 is still pretty young…

    He was also the voice of Presto in that Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the Eighties.

  3. I remember reading about when he became a breakout star on Eight Is Enough he was constantly being mobbed by….moms who wanted to pinch his cheeks (face) and muss his hair because he was so darn adorable.

    A few years back Philip McKeon (Tommy from the TV version of Alice) died young as well. 55! We were about the same age. Tough to lose these actors I grew up with. My thought was always that they had it great. And I had no idea I was only a few years older than Rich. But I did know years later he had lots of problems.

    After all these years I still love D&D. That show aged very well. Highly recommend it to fans of D&D and vintage cartoons.
