Who is Todd Bridges?

Why is he a celebrity? And why is he on ice skates? And why does Fox thing ice-skating is still a relevant sport?

2. Another troubled former child star

Played the older brother to Gary Coleman on the late 70's sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes".

Went through the usual channels of drug addiction/crime/rehab.

6. And blamed it all on being molested by some guy, which in turn also

made him "confused" about his sexuality for a while. :eyes:

8. What you talkin' bout, DS1 ?

Ice skating is a relevant sport, as relevant as any other. I'd go out on a limb and say that it is in fact more of a sport than baseball.

The idea of untrained people doing ice skating is a bit odd...reminds me of that movie The Cutting Edge or whatever, that romantic comedy with Moira Kelly in the eighties.

Todd Bridges is an uber-celebrity. An iconic figure that likes of Zsa Zsa Gabor and that fat chick from "The Facts of Life."
