Gary Coleman Hospitalized
Ex-child star Gary Coleman was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday after suffering an apparent seizure.
Coleman was sitting on a bed in his hotel room around 8 a.m. when he began to seize, a friend told TMZ.com.
Coleman suffers from the kidney disease nephritis and has had two kidney transplants – one in 1973 and another in 1984.
The friend called 911 and the star was rushed to an area hospital.
The 41-year-old actor was in Los Angeles promoting a new movie,
“Midgets vs. Mascots,” which is described on its website as a “Borat-meets-Jackass shockumentary.”

Gary Wayne Coleman (born February 8, 1968) is an American actor, best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the American sitcom Diff’rent Strokes (1978–1986).
Coleman was born in Zion, Illinois. He was adopted by Edmonia Sue, a nurse practitioner, and W.G. Coleman, a fork-lift operator.
Coleman secretly wed his girlfriend of five months, Shannon Price, 22, on August 28, 2007.[2] They met on the set of the 2006 comedy film Church Ball.
On May 1 and May 2, 2008, Coleman and his wife appeared on the show Divorce Court to air their differences in front of Judge Lynn Toler. Uncharacteristically for Divorce Court participants, they appeared on the show with the intent to save their marriage rather than adjudicate a separation.
Diff’rent Strokes
Coleman was cast in the role of Arnold Jackson on Diff’rent Strokes, portraying a child adopted by a wealthy widower.
The show was broadcast from 1978 to 1986, and was a huge success.
Coleman became the most popular fixture of the show (enhanced by his character’s catchphrase “whatchoo talkin’ ’bout, Willis?”). At the height of his fame on Diff’rent Strokes, he earned as much as $100,000 per episode. Read more here
