Sad Manuel Padilla Jr. (Jai) 1955-2008

It's being reported on several sites that actor Manuel Padilla Jr. passed away on January 29th from unknown causes. His co-star in American Graffiti (Paul LeMat) has acknowledged his passing on his My Space site and it's also posted on the American Graffiti site as well. Happy Days fans will remember him as Squirt in the episodes The Second Anniversary Show & Knock Around the Block But many will remember him as Jai in the 1960's Tarzan series with Ron Ely.

No way!!!! I was just looking up information on him last week!!!!!
I suscribe to a site that alerts me on the passing of anyone famous, and I have yet to receive anything on him.

OMG, I am saddened.

Is that celebrity death beeper? If so, They've gotten slack. I still haven't got an alert for Barry Morse.

I remember him from Tarzan but didn't realize he was on Happy Days. Sorry to hear of his passing. Gone too soon.

Wow. How old was he?

Also, did he also do producing and/or directing as well?
