Read more about Todd Bridges Biography
Todd Anthony Bridges, known as simply Todd Bridges, was born in 1965 in California. Todd’s mother was also an actress, so this kind of lifestyle was not new to Todd. Both of his siblings are also actors. Even his son, Spencer Bridges began his career as an actor in the movie called “Daddy Day Camp”. Todd began his acting career in 1974 when he appeared in the show called “Little House on the Prairie”. There he met Michael Landon, Karen Grassle, Kevin Hagen and many others. Later he also appeared in such shows “The Waltons”, and “Fish” and “Roots”, but the show called “Diff’rent Strokes” brought Todd acclaim and fame. This show also had a huge impact on the growth of Todd Bridges’ net worth.
In 2006 Todd became a part of “Fear Factor”, and later of the game show called “1 vs. 100”. These shows also added to Todd’s net worth. In 2008 Bridges received a invitation to appear on the show called “TruTV Presents: World’s Dumbest”. This show has been one of the main sources of Todd’s net worth. Other shows and movies that Bridges has appeared in include “Land of the Free?”, “Busted”, “Decision House”, “The Climb” and others.
In addition to his career as an actor, Todd also wrote the book called “Killing Willis: From Diff’rent Strokes to the Mean Streets to the Life I Always Wanted”. This book also made Todd Bridges’ net worth grow. As mentioned before, Todd has had some legal problems. He was addicted to drugs for some time, when he was accused of attempting to kill some drug dealer. In 1993 he again got himself into trouble when he had some conflict with David Joseph Kitchen. Luckily, he was found not guilty and was able to continue his successful career.
Todd was married to Dori A. Smith and he has two children.
Finally, it could be said that Todd Bridges might not be the most successful actor in the industry, but he is still working hard in order to achieve a lot more in his career. Maybe he has not appeared in many popular movies, but he is still quite acclaimed in the industry. As said before, there is a chance that Todd Bridges’ net worth will grow in the future.
