Adam Rich has passed away. He was most remembered for his role in “Eight Is Enough.” He was 54.
The actor passed away on Saturday at his home in the Los Angeles region, a family member told TMZ.
A law enforcement source informed the publication that Rich was discovered lifeless by an anonymous person who came to his home. Although the cause of death has not yet been determined, there was allegedly no foul play, the source added.
Rich, who was born on October 12th, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York, became well-known in the 1970s after playing Nicholas Bradford on the television show “Eight Is Enough,” the youngest son of the Bradford family.
The ABC program, which ran from 1977 to 1981, also starred Dick Van Patten, Lani O’Grady, Connie Needham, Grant Goodeve, and others.
TV appearances by Rich include “Baywatch,” “Code Red,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” “Small Wonder,” and “St. Elsewhere.”
Rich’s struggles with substance misuse over the years have garnered headlines in addition to his work as an actor. He was detained in 1991 for breaking a pharmacy window to get narcotics, but Van Patten, his old TV father, helped him get out on bond.
At the moment, his family is yet to make an official pronouncement about his funeral plans. Our thoughts go to the family at this difficult time.
