Coleman is best known for his role as Arnold Jackson (character) in the American sitcom Diff'rent Strokes (1978–1986), and his character's catchphrase "what'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" After the cancellation of Diff'rent Strokes, his acting career declined sharply.

Biography Coleman was born in Zion, Illinois, Illinois on February 8, 1968. He was adopted by Willie and Sue Coleman. He suffers from a congenital kidney disease causing nephritis (an autoimmune destruction of the kidney), which halted his growth at an early age, leading to a small stature (4 foot (unit of length) 8 Inch; 1.42 metre). He has undergone two kidney transplantations, one in 1973 and one in 1984, and requires daily dialysis.

Coleman appeared in several media productions, but is best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in Diff'rent Strokes.

Media appearances While best known for his role on Diff'rent Strokes, he appeared before on The Jeffersons, and Good Times as Penny's smart-lipped friend Gary.

Diff'rent Strokes Due to his cherubic face and keen comic timing, Coleman captured the role of Arnold Jackson on Diff'rent Strokes, portraying a child adopted by a wealthy widower. The show was broadcast from 1978 to 1986, and was a quick success.

At the height of his fame on Diff'rent Strokes, Coleman earned $70,000 per episode. As he grew older, however, he fell from public favor.

Later character appearances Capitalizing on this fame, Coleman became a popular figure, starring in a number of feature films and Television movie including On the Right Track, and The Kid with the Broken Halo.

Coleman was also featured prominently in the 2005 expansion pack to Postal², Apocalypse Weekend.
