Gary Coleman was an American actor known for his childhood role as Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes. He lived a life full of success as a childhood actor and is known for his small stature. He struggled with his finances even though he had earned millions as a young child actor. In 1999, Coleman decided to file for bankruptcy because he only had $200,000 to his name because his parents and manager had wasted away all his trust funds.
