Born Oct. 12, 1968 in Brooklyn, New York, Rich rose to fame in the ’70s after portraying Nicholas Bradford, the youngest son of the Bradford brood, on “Eight Is Enough.”

The ABC show, which also starred Dick Van Patten, Lani O’Grady, Connie Needham and more, ran from 1977 to 1981.

“I think he’s why the show was a big success,” Van Patten said of his former co-star in a 2011 interview with Stephen J. Abramson for the Television Academy Foundation. “People loved him! [Fans] named a child Nicholas and everything because of him.”

He added, “He was cute, and he was a good actor. He was very natural.”

Rich’s other TV credits include “Code Red,” “Dungeons & Dragons,” and “Baywatch.”
