I always thought Willie's acting ability was quite natural and believable when watching Eight Is Enough. Probably the best on the show. I think he should have been one of those actors that continued to be on high profile tv episodes. I still think he can. Something like Law & Order would be a perfect fit. I wish him well.

[@alanhill3677]

I'm proud that he has gotten things together now, stay strong Willie

I always loved Willie and everyone on “Eight is Enough”. Tommy was a great character whose sudden moments of clarity and maturity could surprise you. I wish Willie all the best and want to thank him for impacting my seventies childhood. I would love to see him in more. I think he is a special guy!

[@FactsVerse]

Us too! Thanks for bringing back memories. Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?

[@spokanetomcat1]

I went to high school with Willie, class of 78, and his sister Kim, class of 77, in Huntington Beach California. He was a fun nice guy in school when he attended between acting gigs. He was part of our Rowdy Routers during basketball games. He would take pictures of the football players during games and share them with the players and coaches. The first time I saw him acting was during an episode of Adam-12.

The funny thing is - I mean, let's be real here - he never really had that much money. That's just pure reality.

He was a great guy, good actor and musician and it's really cool that he's finally got clean and has his his shit together - good job Willie!
