Adam Rich (October 12, 1968 – January 7, 2023) was an American actor noted for his role as Nicholas Bradford, the youngest son on the television series Eight Is Enough, which ran for five seasons (1977–1981). A distinctive feature of his appearance during his years as a child actor was his pageboy haircut, which inspired thousands of parents of that era to imitate the look for their young sons.^[1] His role on the show led him to be known as "America's little brother."^[1]

Rich was born on October 12, 1968,^[2] the son of Francine and Rob Rich.

He also had an interest in drawing. At age 14, he tried smoking marijuana, and at 17, in 1986, he dropped out of high school.^[4] He almost died of a valium overdose in 1989. In 1991, he was arrested and charged with attempted burglary of a pharmacy.^[4]

In 1996, there was a media hoax that Rich had been murdered; the story was published in the San Francisco-based magazine Might, with Rich's consent.^[4][5] Might writer Dave Eggers included the incident in his memoir A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.^{[citation needed]}

In 2002, Rich was arrested for driving under the influence (DUI).^[4] He was in drug rehabilitation at least three times during his life.^[4]

As of 2013, he occasionally made personal appearances and marketed script ideas for TV shows and films.^[4]

Career
