DS cursed Gary's future...

[KingKoopa]

The lines he was given to say about how he'd be a loser when he grows up. The lines weren't in those exact words but for example: There was an episode when Willis and Charlene was having relationship problems, and Arnold seemed to be enjoying the quarrel, Drummond walks in to break up the argument... he sends Arnold to his room, then Arnold replies: "Aww, man... I'm a grow up stupid. When I am married with my wife on our Honeymoon, my wife will say to me: "Arnold, would you mind leaving the room please?"

Through out the entire DS series Gary is the only one given lines about him being a loser in the future (not said to that effect of course.)

Not to mention the times when Arnold would strike out with a girl and he would be depressed and has a talk with Mr. Drummond and then Arnold would say: "I should shave my hair bald and become a monk."

Another example is the Smoker's Delight episode, when Dudley sits on the couch with Arnold explaining to him how he would be a lost pathetic soul, wandering the halls at school with no friends, and banging his head against the locker, although Dudley was refering to Arnold's Junior High School future if he didn't smoke, it was still a "cursed future" of loneliness directed at Gary's character which became a reality for his true person in the "now" future.

Every time Arnold pities himself (which is usually over some girl he likes but doesn't like him) he always rambles on and on about a "cursed future" of being lonely and womenless to which the audience laughed at the "cursed lines" that was given to Gary to recite over and over not realizing that these lines was cursing his real future. It's something to ponder on.

Gary cursed himself by not embracing DS, his fans and the opportunities DS can give him. He spat on all that and now is so bitter.

That is true. He could be making a nice living right now on the retro circuit, attending fan conventions, making cameos on other shows, doing more DVD movies. But his ATTITUDE about life and people is the only thing keeping him down.

You know that old saying that celebs don't mind being asked for autographs or being recognized in public...

"It's when they stop asking for autographs or no longer recognize you THAT is the time to start worrying."

Well Gary should remember it is best to be remembered for something good rather than be remembered for something horrible.

I don't really see why Gary is broke, if you go to imdb you can see that he's been working constantly. What in the world is he doing with his money???? I know that they are only bit parts but he’s still making more than any of us.

[Ireneparalegal]

He must have debts. Credit card debts and medical debts. He had to sell a pair of used pants on ebay to help cover some medical costs.

Didn't he win some kind of judgment against his parents for the mishandling of his earnings from DS? Don't they have to pay him back anything?

[Ireneparalegal]

They must have a long time ago. But it was nothing close to what he actually earned while doing DS. Judgments don't have to be paid back in one lump sum. It can be done over a period of time. Even years.

Yeah it'll probably be a long time before he sees all of his money.

Words are very powerful, especially when they are recited and you put yourself into a different role/mindset to say the same negative lines about a lonely future over and over and as a result being lonely became a reality.

Look at Todd Bridges, the DS lines cursed him. The episodes about Willis in the later seasons had him dabbling with drugs, alcohol, guns, and gangs... Todd wasn't doing drugs prior to these Very Special Episodes involving his Willis character.

Dana Plato was also cursed, and you already know which episodes stood out in her getting cursed.

Not many people would take curses seriously because it seems like foolishness to them, but people who are into acting which involves visualization and becoming "one" with their character can curse their future person. And they rehearsh those lines over and over all day long which can manifest their cursed reality. Acting is like a ritual that simulates reality.

The very show they have acted on cursed their acting career. Producers won't hire them because their faces are associated with a popular TV show they've done a looong time ago and people only recognizes them as that character and as a result has lost their identity as a real life person and is now being called or associated with a TV show character.

They lost their soul while portraying a likable character on television who isn't their true person, just a character.

Where are all these people now that were once at the height of their acting careers? The only way these people can get back on television is to embarrass themselves on a reality show. They crave the attention of being famous but the hollywood producers won't hire them, desperate, they turn to self degradation on VH1 reality crap.

Want to know why Will Smith is doing so well in his career? Take a look at the moral positivity in his sitcom, his music videos, and all the movies he did has portrayed him in such a positive light.

We reap what we sow is what I'm getting at... like Gary, he had a lot of negativity in the lines he rehearshed over and over and that is how his life turned out. Todd Bridges could be doing better, he's still surviving. The only job they really care about is showing their face on television so that people won't think they're dead. Being recognized is all that is important to them now, no producer is going to pay a has-been a boat load of money.

Yeah you did and the responses to "your thread" wasn't all that deep. A person can play a role, that doesn't determine how their "real life" will turn out.


So that was my opinion, everyone has them

But Welcome to the boards
