That kid, Douglas Grant, did only one other acting job on TV outside his two episodes of Good Times. They did a great job of picking mean looking kid, but he seemed too well spoken to be a bully.

Michael was being bullied by a 25 year old man-lol

Eddie was 25 and in the sixth grade, boy he wasn't the brightest bulb in the class was he?

He was that old? He was on The Electric Company from 1971 to 1973. I thought he was about 15 when he was on that series. He was short. In fact in the Mad Dog episode one of the jokes was that he was supposed to be in the same age range as JJ but he was as short as Michael.

Dam! He was that old??????? What the hell?:lol:

I don't know if he was 25 but from looking at him in that episode it was clear that he was over 20 in real life

has to be because his mustache is thicker than mine. :lol:

He was like 5'2, so playing a 15 year old was believable.

Per the NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eileen-smith-robert-douglas-grant-article-1.338906), Robert is 52 years old and married to Eileen Grant, a painter. Robert is also a painter, musician and educator.

"I had an art show, and Robert was going to be having a show at the same venue, so the staff suggested that he should attend, to see what the place was like, so we met at my show," said Eileen. "I thought he was pretty fetching, so we exchanged numbers. The next week, we went out for coffee and it wound up being a whole day and evening out, it was just magical."

“He totally surprised me,” said Eileen. “He got down on his knee and gave me his grandmother’s wedding band. It was very romantic.” During the ceremony, Eileen was escorted by two of her uncles as well as her father. “They’re all very special in my life, so when I came through the chapel doors, my Dad met me and took me down part of the way to one uncle, and then he took me to the second one, who gave me away.” Eileen carried a bouquet of roses and lilies.

I remember a Good Times fan posting on either here or on IMDB,"I can't believe Eddie was supposed to be around 12. He looked 20, just short as hell!":lol:

that makes more sense
no way that kid looked 25 :lol:

I don't think he looked past his teens.
I don't know how there is a rumor that he was really 25 back then.

He was 16 in real life when that ep aired

Only a couple of years older than Ralph Carter in real life. Gained some weight since that time too.

Speaking of former kid actors who gained weight when they got older
have you seen Michael Hershewe?

He is the boy who played in the movie "Casey's Shadow."
I happened to be looking through the internet . I was surprised that he looks like Richard Castellano.
