Adam Rich’s sibling, Wayne, was five years younger than him. He worked as a child actor but soon left the industry.
Not much is known about him as he has kept his life undercover since he left his acting career. However, his brother Adam Rich gained fame in acting in childhood and continued working until his death.
Rich’s breakthrough performance came in the television series Eight Is Enough when many kids even adopted his character’s pageboy hairdo.
Before playing the youngest Bradford child, the childhood favorite had a few acting credits. He made an appearance in 1976’s The Six Million Dollar Man and 1977’s The City.
Adam Rich, a young cast member of “Eight Is Enough” on ABC, died at the age of 54.
Rich passed away on Saturday in the Los Angeles suburb of Brentwood, according to Lt. Aimee Earl of the Los Angeles County Medical-Examiner Coroner’s office.
Even though the cause of death was being investigated, there were no suspicious circumstances.
