Brad Lachman

Considered a career as a professional drummer or basketball player before parking cars at Universal City and stumbling into "show-biz".

(on Andy Gibb, who hosted Lachman's TV series Solid Gold (1980)...until Gibb was dismissed for skipping several tapings) Andy was a very charming, very vulnerable, and very charismatic performer who clearly meant well. He wasn't being difficult; he was experiencing deep-rooted problems and couldn't deal. Andy wanted *everyone* to love him. He had so much going on for him, and he just couldn't take it all in.
