Philip McKeon passed away today at the age of 55 from a long illness according to People.
The actor is best known for playing Tommy on Alice. We watched him grow from a little boy in 1976 to a tall man in 1985. Even though he was just a kid, he was able to keep up with the older actors on the classic sitcom.
After the show ended, he had bit roles in Return to Horror High and 976-EVIL 2: The Astral Factor. At some point, he moved to Texas and worked as a host at Wimberley Valley Radio.
Today, let’s honor his big smile by watching him on Alice and smiling.
McKeon is survived by his mom, Barbara, and his younger sister, Nancy McKeon from The Facts of Life.
I always thought he seemed like a nice guy if not the greatest actor. I think Nancy was very close with Philip. It must be devastating loosing a sibling, especially one you’re so close to. These are the people that know us all our lives.
