Wasn't he light in the foot? Not that there's anything wrong with that.

No, that was Ron Palillo, the one who played Horshack.

I just spoke to my buddy in Metuchen, he said Robert lived a few blocks away and he'd run into him from time to time. He looked way different than he did when Kotter was in production.
