I guess Alex Rocco, who went to prison for a while.

Todd Bridges was also accused of murder, but I wouldn't consider him a regular cast member.

You are right about Alex Rocco.

They can't all be happy threads.

The up side is that Alex Rocco did his time and paid his debt to society (as did the DS kids). And he became successful after a bad past.

They can if we only post happy threads. :D

The only way the "m" word is lighthearted here is if we're quoting Dina Becker. :lol:

He was arrested, but the grand jury didn't indict him.

Well I hope he didn't do it---he's Jo's dad and Dorothy's tryst!

I doubt he did if they hired him for FOL and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch".

That doesn't mean he wasn't guilty.

Todd Bridges was also accused of murder, but I wouldn't consider him a regular cast member.Years later, Todd Bridges saved a woman from drowning, so everything must happen for a reason.

I really love it when people turn their lives around. I wish Dana and Gary had been able to fix their broken lives.

To me, he always gave off that mobster vibe even before I knew his history. Hell, all of Jo's family gives off that mobster vibe.

At least he got out of the life and went and turned his life around.

It's a trick question! Blair, Beverly Ann AND Tootie were accused of murder in "Seven Little Indians"! As we all know, Blair confessed to the murder.

I read Todd's autobiography about a decade ago covering everything he'd been through. It was quite interesting.
