Child Celebrities Turned Criminals

Child Celebrities Turned CriminalsTODD BRIDGES

Before turning his life around, Todd Bridges was just another troubled Diff’rent Strokes kid.


Much like his late co-stars Gary Coleman and Dana Plato, Bridges had his share of run-ins with the law. In 1988, he was arrested and tried for attempted murder but later acquitted with the help of defense attorney Johnnie Cochran.

Bridges has also been arrested for stabbing a tenant, possession of crystal meth and convicted of carrying a loaded gun.


The former child star has found several jobs since overcoming his turbulent past that include a role in the summer comedy That’s My Boy.
