The Conners' Michael Fishman Speaks Out About His Son Larry's Fatal Overdose

For the first time in four months, actor Michael Fishman is opening up about his son's tragic death in a candid interview with Tamron Hall.

At the time of his son's death, the Roseanne alum said he was in the process of adopting Larry after meeting his sister.

"I think he chose me...," the actor told Tamron. "I have two biological children from a previous marriage, and at the end of that marriage, I met his older sister, Camille. A friend of mine kind of said, 'She needs some support and guidance and mentorship.'"

Michael explained they all "became this family unit," alongside his two children—Isabelle and Aaron—who he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Briner.
