Los Angeles/IBNS: American actor Adam Rich, who is noted for his role as Nicholas Bradford, the youngest son on the television series Eight Is Enough, has died, media reports said.
He was 54.
A family member told TMZ Adam died Saturday at his L.A. area home.
The family member would not reveal the cause of death, but a law enforcement source told TMZ that someone came to his home and found him lifeless.
The law enforcement source said this was not foul play.
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.
Rich made guest appearances on television series including The Love Boat, CHiPs, Fantasy Island, The Six Million Dollar Man, St. Elsewhere, and Baywatch.
He also did voice work on the cartoon series Dungeons & Dragons, along with Eight Is Enough co-star Willie Aames.
