newschickThe funniest story I've read on the wire so far today!
It seems Todd Bridges has broken the curse of being a child star.
He's just landed a role on ``The Young and the Restless.'' He'll play a guy named Juice, who's described as a real out-and-out bad guy bent on revenge.
Most people probably remember Bridges as Gary Coleman's older brother Willis on the sitcom ``Diff'rent Strokes.''
Since the show ended in 1986 he's made sporadic film and T-V appearances and battled drug addiction and run-ins with the law.
Bridges' will make his first appearance on the soap on July 12th.
The character is set to appear in several shows, but producers say Bridges could become a regular cast member.
I can hear it now --
"How long you been standin there, Willis?"
"Long enough..."
