Gary Coleman was born February 8, 1968 in Zion, Illinois. The 4' 8" tall Coleman retired to Colorado in 1986 to a 6 bedroom - 3,500 square feet home, but has recently reappeared in Hollywood. He has appeared in a few movies recently, Party (1994) and S.F.W. (1994). He finished a movie in Canada last year called Dirty Work. He also is the voice of Kenny Falmouth in a cd-rom video game from Lucas Arts called "The Curse of Monkey Island".

More recently, he has made guest appearances on television series such as Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Married with Children, Homeboys in Outer Space, The Keenen Ivory Wayans Show, and Mad TV. He was supposed to have a series sometime in 1992 after he did a guest shot on Geraldo, but the pilot did not sell and the project was scrapped. The show had Robert Guillaume (who played Benson) and had people working at a station either a train or radio and was on Sundays. It didn't last long and Gary was supposed to have the part that Robert had. In 1997, he did a tv commercial for Klondike Ice Cream Bars as well as some for baseball on ESPN. His favorite car is a Hummer. He made an appearance on Vibe (a talk show hosted by Sinbad) along with Todd Bridges and Dana Plato on November 6th, 1997. He co-starred with Harry Hamlin in holiday TV-movie on cable's Fox Family Channel called 'Like Father, Like Santa'. On July 30th, he allledgly struck a woman who asked for his autograph, a court hearing was held August 25th where he pleaded not guilty. He recently finished a movie with Todd Bridges. He has worked as a security guard, a job he is trained to do. Currently, he is a corporate spokesperson and director of promotions for HoloWorld Cafe (a restaurant with laser-tag and video games) in Pasadena, California. Today, he lives modestly in a condominium in Los Angeles. His story is an inspiration to all that have had to deal with adversity.
