Adam Rich was an American actor. He was best known for his portrayal of Nicholas Bradford, the youngest son on the television series Eight Is Enough, which ran for five seasons (1977–1981). 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. His role on the show led him to be known as "America's little brother."

Adam Rich won the role of Nicholas at the age of eight. After Eight Is Enough, he had roles in TV series Code Red and the 1983 sitcom Gun Shy.

He also made guest appearances on several 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 & Dragon.

Besides acting he was active in sports, including baseball, football, bicycle riding, skateboarding, and swimming. He also had an interest in drawing.

From a very young age Adam Rich was haunted by drug abuse and almost died of a valium overdose in 1989. He entered drug rehabilitation at least three times during his life.

Adam Rich has died but he will always be In Heaven in the Stars.
