Ok, a bit of fun for an idle Sunday evening.

Here are a few TV 'celebrities' that I remember growing up knowing, but haven't got a clue what happened to them:

Murdock from the A-Team
Wincy Willis
The guy who played Danny in The Shining
Timmy Mallet
Tommy Boyd

Willis and the sister from Different Strokes.
Heroine dealer i heard Willis became. And the sister got fired after getting pregneant, became addicted to painkillers and killed herself 5 or 6 years ago I think.
Anyone confirm that?

Timmy Mallet used to get right on my nerves :mad:

I do know that one of the singers from Bucks Fizz now sells burgers from a van

is it true Geoffry from Rainbow is a trolley collector, or is that an urban myth?

Mr T, where is he?

Timmy Mallet is doing the club circuit at student nights. I went into work when I was admin at a club a few years back and played the answerphone messages from the night before to find one from him.

That was very bizarre.

Possibly wrestling or being a bodyguard although he may be involved in a movie called "I pity the fool".

Murdoch is still appearing on TV as slightly nuts characters, ST:TNG, ST:V, SG1 etc, and in a lot of video games as a VA.

He also has a small role in Rocky 6 apparently.

Thought so, was suicide then?

What you talkin' 'bout?

I saw Gary Coleman in an A Team send-up with WWF wrestler John Cena. Bad, Bad Man playing in the background, it was great

Anyway, this is what he looks like now:

No different

What's Alfred E Neuman up to these days?

Tommy Boyd used to be on the radio station Talksport a few years ago. He had a programme called the Human Zoo where all the phone calls taken were unscreened. It was great but unfortunately he was fired
