Jewogle - Adam Rich

Biography:

Adam Rich (born on October 12, 1968) is an American actor born in Brooklyn, New York City. He is probably best remembered as a child actor for playing youngest son Nicholas Bradford on the 1970s television drama Eight is Enough, for which he was nominated for three Young Artist Awards, winning two, and his stint on the short-lived Lorne Greene vehicle Code Red. He made appearances on The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, The Six Million Dollar Man, Silver Spoons, and provided the voice for Presto the Magician on the Dungeons & Dragons television series along with his Eight is Enough co-star, Willie Aames.

In 1996, Might Magazine published an article detailing Rich's robbery-related death at the hands of an "unemployed dinner theater stagehand" and meticulously reconstructed the final years of his life, including his work on an uncompleted independent film known as The Squatter Project. The story was an elaborate hoax, concocted by a childhood friend of Rich's who worked at the magazine, fleshed out with Rich's cooperation. The issue was intended as a satire of death issues published by the likes of magazines Spin and Rolling Stone when popular rock stars die. This event is chronicled in Dave Eggers's A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, with semi-factual explanation of the events and exposition on the significance behind such an event. Eggers was a founder of Might Magazine.

Adam's mother, Fran, helped Kirk Cameron (and his mother, Barbara) and receives credit for some of his success. Coincidentally, both Kirk Cameron and Adam Rich share the same birthday, although Rich is two years older.

Rich today owns 4 Tire stores in and around the Sacramento area.
