Does Fred "Rerun" Berry Deserve A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 04-19-2011, 07:24 AM

Fred Berry had no "Dy-no-mite" or "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis?" Instead, the actor was a human catchphrase, using his high-pitched drawl and disco dancing antics to craft the iconic character Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs on "What's Happening!!"

Or is Hollywood blacklisting Fred Berry even in his death for the chaos that ensued when he was alive?

they should take away the Stars from the Olsen Twins and Britney Spears and the like and give them to the many deserving stars from the 70's that don't have them.

When Dick York (Bewitched) doesn't have a star on the Walk of Fame and Ryan Seacrest DOES (

), then something is very, very wrong!!!!

Fred Berry is best known for two things. His addictions and his ego. Neither of which makes him worthy of a star. He did have talent but we will never know if that talent was star worthy or not since he destroyed his own career due to the above mentioned addictions and ego.

When they give stars to the cast of Amos 'N' Andy, Tim Moore, Ernestine Wade, Alvin Childress, Johnny Lee, Spencer Williams, Jr., Amanda Randolph, Lillian Randolph , Nick Stewart & Jester Hairston then they can give one to Fred Berry.

What does Fred Berry have to do with "Amos 'N' Andy" or any of the stars of the show? I do not see what one thing has to do with another.
