In before Borys posts "Who?"
(CNN) -- Actor Gary Coleman is in critical condition in a Provo, Utah, hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said Thursday.
Janet Frank, the spokeswoman for Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, confirmed that Coleman, 42, was being treated there after being admitted on Wednesday.
Frank would not release any other information.
Calls to Coleman's publicist were not immediately returned.
Coleman is best known as the wisecracking youngster Arnold Drummond on TV's "Diff'rent Strokes" from the late 1970s to the mid-1980s.
The former child actor was hospitalized briefly three months ago after suffering a seizure while being interviewed on a TV show in Los Angeles, California.

Coleman has had plenty of health problems throughout the years...I believe he even has a colostomy bag for some reason.
Hope he makes it through. He's definitely one of my favorite '80s TV personalities.
-
I keep seeing this on news aggregators, reading it as Gary Cole, getting worried, then feeling relieved when I realize it's Coleman.
-
Coleman was born in Zion, Illinois. He was adopted by Edmonia Sue, a nurse practitioner, and W.G. Coleman, a fork-lift operator.[1] He suffers from a congenital kidney disease caused by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (an autoimmune destruction and alteration of the kidney), which halted his growth at an early age, leading to a small stature (4 ft 8 in; 1.42 m). He has undergone two kidney transplants, one in 1973 and one in 1984, and requires daily dialysis.
Daily dialysis, that's pretty fucked.
-
Another child star fucked up by his parents. Not just financially either, because to be fair he got like a million from a court case yet blew it in a few years.
-
Child stars are fucked from the moment they become "child stars." You can't expect anyone to grow up normal when their life is lived under the media microscope.
-
A few turned out good like Jodie Foster and Leonardo DiCaprio but yea, you're right

This is bad news, but if Gary Cole died I'd probably go on a homicidal rampage.
-
I thought this was about Gary Oldman.

gary cole...ohhh the doctor dude from Kim Possible

You mean Harvey Birdman from Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law
-
Gary Cole was amazing in American Gothic, Office Space, The Brady Bunch movies...he rocks.
...hey, wait, this is supposed to be a thread about Gary Coleman!
-
Can't say I was ever a fan, but I got to feel for the guy or anyone for that matter that has to go through daily dialysis. That's a pretty shitty hand that's been delt.

This guy was obviously in a lot of pain. Also thanks to The Insider for providing an Official Behavior Interpreter to help me process the scary black mans outburst.
-
Dude got completely fucked over by his parents. While he became quite the asshole in later years a lot of that has to do with the anger and sadness over just how badly his life was ruined before he could have a say in it. RIP
-
RIP.
I always felt sorry for the dude. His parents stole and wasted most of the money he made when he was a kid.
-
Tragic. :(
-
Shitty, I'd be lying if I didn't chuckle when he'd make the news. He had pretty good reason to be angry, must've been hard when he'd rage and people would just find it funny/cute and think "aww, it thinks it's people"
-
He's now four feet under...
-
I've said it before and i'll say it again...

NO NOT GARY.
Why does the good lord have to take a good man like Gary and not trash like J Allard and whoever else is in charge of Microsoft Xbox division right now.

Unlike the executives I have never screwed over a person blatantly. :smug

Yeah, that's pretty lame.

I say if you can't laugh about black people dying, what can you laugh about? :lol
-
sad :(
-
Not gonna lie, Gary Coleman was how I mentally pictured Himuro looking, so this is kind of shocking in more ways that one....
-
Here's an idea.
Limit Methodis' posting privileges to the Dysfunctional Hall of Fame.
-
He was in poor health but did he have heart problems?
-

:lol
-
He fell and hit his head, nintenho. That's probably what triggered the hemorrhage.
-
Really sad :(
-
brain hemorrhage ... i am curious, Different to strokes?
I think its a different kind of stroke.
-
All the child actors on Different Strokes were fucked up.
