Actor, Todd Bridges is best known for the 80’s mantra said by his co-star Gary Coleman, “Whatchu talkin’ about Willis” from the mega-successful television show, Diff’rent Strokes. Unfortunately, with success came hardships that lead him to drug and alcohol abuse. In his new book, KILLING WILLIS – From Diff’rent Strokes to the Mean Streets to the Life I Always Wanted, (Simon & Schuster) Bridges opens up for the first time about his descent into addiction. He then goes on to talk about his painful journey back to happiness.

GalleyCat had the opportunity to ask Mr. Bridges to read an excerpt from the book.
