On Saturday, former child actor Adam Rich was found dead in his Los Angeles home. He was 54 years old. Adam played Nicholas Bradford in the family drama "Eight Is Enough" from 1977 to 1981.
The cause of death hasn't been revealed, but Adam spent years battling addiction and mental illness and had several brushes with the law.

He added, quote, "He really was America's little brother."
