Gary Coleman Dies–Had Role In Vegan Themed Film “A Christmas Too Many”

Actor Gary Coleman has passed away at the age of 42.
He died this afternoon in a Utah hospital after going into a coma from a hemorrhage that caused bleeding inside his skull. It was his wife’s decision to remove him from life support.
Coleman was best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the 1970s and 80s hit television series “Diff’rent Strokes,” about a wealthy Manhattan family that adopted the African-American child of their late maid before it was fashionable in Hollywood for white people to do so.
However, he starred in the 2007 A Christmas Too Many, about a dysfunctional family the actor told the Washington Post was forced to “have a vegan Christmas,” reports Vegblog.
According to DVD Talk, the usual holiday fare of deer and turkey are scarce in Malibu, which leaves the family’s best hunter to look at the guinea pigs instead, much to the disgust of his wife, daughter and his vegan son played by Austin O’Brien.
