Coleman is probably best remembered for his character Arnold Jackson coining the phrase “Whatchu talkin’ bout?”

Like many childhood stars, Coleman’s adult life was marred with troubles. In recent years, he has been in financial and legal trouble. Coleman also had health problems, attempted suicide and even ran for California governor.

RIP Arnold.
