Radio host DJ Clue remembered Coleman’s earlier acting days.

Coleman is most known for his role in the television show, “Diff’rent Strokes.”

On Diff’rent Strokes, he played precocious Arnold Jackson, who, with his brother Willis (Todd Bridges), was adopted by a wealthy, white Manhattan man (Conrad Bain) and his daughter (Dana Plato). Coleman’s pudgy cheeks and flawless comic timing made him the break-out star of the popular series, which ran from 1978-86. His signature line, “Whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” became a national catchphrase. (USA Today)
