He got arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Driving an '87 Volvo. Life hasn't been good for Willie, it sounds like.

Wasn't he on the Norm show just a couple years ago? He must have made pretty good money from that, so I can't understand how he can be so bad off financially. Anyway, that is a sad story. Hopefully he'll be able to get his life together soon.

Yeah, that is too bad...combine this with the stuff that supposedly went on from the Enquirer, and he is really bad off...hopefully he'll get back on track soon...

jeah, willie, or max wright, was on norm! but it wasn't a huge success. I think 2 seasons on ABC.
But Max is now gay and is on drugs. That's what I read in a news paper article from 2002. anyway. He was wonderful on ALF
