Willie Aames is remembering his former Eight Is Enough TV brother Adam Rich.
Aames said he was gutted by news that his lifelong friend, who portrayed younger brother Nicholas to his Tommy Bradford in the 1977 ABC sitcom, died Saturday at the age of 54.
“Adam was more than a colleague,” his Facebook tribute read. “He was very much my only little brother. A lifelong friend. These last few years Adam had dreams of renewing his career. He was one of those kid actors that our generation will always remember.”
