Fred Allen Berry (March 19, 1951 – October 21, 2003) was an actor and street dancer. He was known for his role as Freddie "Rerun" Stubbs on What's Happening!! He was born in St. Louis and grew up in an inner-city housing estate. He had aspirations of becoming a successful dancer and actor as a child. He was a member of the Los Angeles-based dance troupe The Lockers, with whom he appeared on Saturday Night Live. He appeared on the dance music show Soul Train, and was featured in the program's signature line dance "the slo-mo". His earned Rerun sobriquet was chosen because the character had to repeat all of his classes during summer school. He became one of the show's top characters with a trademark red beret, suspenders, and the dance moves he used during his time with The Lockers. He returned to reprise his role as Rerun in What's Happening Now!!. He struggled with drug and alcohol issues throughout his career and life. In 1996, he told People magazine “I was a millionaire by the time I was 29, but then the stress of success got to me. The fat jokes got to me. And I got heavily into drugs and alcohol.” In a 1996 interview, he said that he had been experimenting with drugs and alcohol since he was a teenager, but as he became more successful, he could afford more drugs. He had attempted suicide three times, but recovered and spent his time visiting many churches. After entering a substance-abuse treatment program, he struggled financially for a few years. Film roles were few and far between, and he earned money from making appearances at shopping malls. He became a motivational speaker and Baptist minister and lost 100 lbs after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He appeared in In the Hood, and Big Money Hustlas. One of his last roles was a cameo in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. His last television appearance came just weeks before he died, on Classmates.

Comic Actor

Arnold Stang (September 28, 1918 – December 20, 2009) Radio, theater, film and television comic actor, whose comic persona was a small and bespectacled, yet brash and knowing big-city type.

Stang moved to television at the start of the Golden Age. He had a recurring role in the TV show The School House on the DuMont Television Network in 1949. He was a regular on Eddie Mayehoff's short-lived situation comedy Doc Corkle in fall of 1952 as well as comedy relief on Captain Video and His Video Rangers as Clumsy McGee. Then he made a guest appearance on Milton Berle's Texaco Star Theater on May 12, 1953 and joined him as a regular as Francis the Stagehand the following September, often berating or heckling the big-egoed star for big laughs. Stang also had guest roles on several variety shows of the day including The Colgate Comedy Hour. In early 1951, Stang appeared on Henry Morgan's Great Talent Hunt, a take-off of The Original Amateur Hour, as "Gerard", supposedly recruiting "talent" for Morgan.

Stang starred in movie short subjects for producer Edward Montagne in the early 1950s. In 1964, when Montagne was producing his McHale's Navy spinoff Broadside, he recruited Arnold Stang midway through production and gave him co-star billing. Stang joined the ensemble cast as outspoken master chef Stanley Stubbs.

Stang worked often as a voice actor for animated cartoons, and voiced the title role in Top Cat. The show lasted one season in prime time, 1961–62, before going into reruns.

On television he appeared in commercials for the Chunky candy bar, where he would list many of its ingredients, smile and say, "Chunky, what a chunk of chocolate!" He provided the voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee in the 1980s and was also a spokesman for Vicks Vapo-Rub. As a pitchman for Alcoa aluminum window screens in the late 1960s, he was known for the tag line "Arnold Stang says don't get stung".  Stang also appeared in "The Grave Robber," an episode of the popular horror anthology series Tales from the Darkside, playing Tapok, an ancient Egyptian mummy who encounters some unscrupulous archaeologists who lure him into a game of strip poker.

Stang once described himself as "a frightened chipmunk who's been out in the rain too long." As for his distinctive squawky, nasal Brooklyn voice, he said "I'm kind of attached to it ... [it's] a personal logo. It's like your Jell-O or Xerox.  (Wikipedia)

Fred Berry

Fred Allen (Rerun) Berry (March 19, 1951 – October 21, 2003) was an American actor and street dancer. He was best known for the role of Fred "Rerun" Stubbs on the popular 1970s television show What's Happening!!.

Early life

Berry was born in St. Louis, Missouri.

Career

Before starring on What's Happening!!, he was a member of the Los Angeles-based dance troupe The Lockers, with whom he appeared on the third episode of Saturday Night Live. He also appeared on the dance music show Soul Train, and was featured in the program's signature line dance segment doing the memorable early 1970s dance step "the slo-mo". What's Happening!! lasted from 1976 to 1979.

Berry was a millionaire by age 29 in 1980. After the show ended, Berry, weighing over 300 lbs, had trouble finding work because he was typecast with the Rerun character. Eventually, however, he came to embrace his typecasting, and made his peace with it as the best means to maintain his celebrity. In public, he was often seen wearing the red beret and suspenders that are part of the Rerun character.

During the 1980s, Berry battled drug addiction and alcoholism. He revived the character of Rerun in the series What's Happening Now!!, but he was only on that show for a year. Berry asked for more money than the rest of the cast (believing he was the reason people tuned in). Berry's widow, Essie Berry, told Urbanite magazine at Georgia State University that their unwillingness to pay Fred Berry his due in both shows led to their early cancellations. During the 1990s, Berry became a Baptist minister and lost 100 lbs after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He made a living during this time mostly through making public appearances as Rerun.

Berry made a brief appearance in Insane Clown Posse's film Big Money Hustlas as Bootleg Greg, a merchandise counterfeiter. In 1996, he made an appearance in Less Than Jake's video "Dopeman" (which was never aired on television). In the second season of the comedy television series Scrubs, he appeared in his iconic Rerun suspenders and beret in an extended dance sequence fantasized by Dr. John "JD" Dorian (which included a dozen others also wearing the same outfit).

For at least the Spring and Summer of 2001, and for an unknown duration, Berry toured with the UniverSoul Circus as his Rerun character. At that time, he was their sole celebrity performer and received accolades from the cast and circus patrons alike.

Berry appeared in the Snoop Dogg video "It's A Doggy Dogg World", which was a tribute to the black culture of the 1970s. He performed his legendary dance moves in a Soul Train line. He appeared in fellow Locker Toni Basil's music video "Shopping From A to Z". Berry returned to the screen in 1998 in the action movie In the Hood and appeared in Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003), playing himself in a song at the end. His final role was in In the Land of Merry Misfits, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Personal life

Berry was married six times to four different women, the first two of whom he married twice.

Berry had legally changed his middle name to Rerun after his success on What's Happening!!.

His daughter Portia Berry-Allen was in a Safe Auto commercial under the name "Lady Rerun".

Death

On October 21, 2003, Berry died at his Los Angeles home, where he was recovering from a stroke. He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles.

Bruh what's happening

What's Happening!! is an American sitcom that aired on ABC from August 5, 1976, to April 28, 1979. The show premiered as a summer series. With good ratings and reviews, and after the failure of several other shows on the network, What's Happening!! returned in November 1976 as a weekly series. It remained a weekly series until 1979; ratings were modest. What's Happening!! was loosely based on the Eric Monte-penned film Cooley High.[2] From 1985 to 1988, a sequel series called What's Happening Now!! aired in first-run syndication, with most of the major cast members reprising their roles.

What's Happening!! was Bud Yorkin's second series after he ended his partnership with Norman Lear and Tandem Productions. The show was produced by TOY Productions, which was formed by Yorkin, Saul Turteltaub, and Bernie Orenstein after the split.

Premise

What's Happening!! follows the lives of three working-class African-American teens living in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts. The show stars Ernest Thomas as Roger "Raj" Thomas, Haywood Nelson as Dwayne Nelson, and Fred Berry as Freddy "Rerun" Stubbs. Co-starring are Danielle Spencer as Roger's younger sister Dee; Mabel King as Roger and Dee's mother Mabel; and Shirley Hemphill as Shirley Wilson, a waitress at Rob's Place, the neighborhood restaurant where the boys are regular patrons. Recurring characters include Rob (Earl Billings), owner of Rob's Place; and Miss Collins (Fritzi Burr), a sarcastic history teacher and the sponsor of the school newspaper.

Characters

Roger "Raj" Thomas (Ernest Thomas), the show's protagonist, is a teenager living in Watts with his divorced mother Mabel and his younger sister Dee. Raj is an intelligent, well-mannered young man who sports large black horn-rimmed glasses and aspires to be a writer. Many episodes involve Raj taking steps to pursue his dream, from saving up for a screenwriting course or a typewriter to trying to impress a TV producer. Eventually, he graduates from high school, moves out, and goes to college at the University of Southern California. Raj is known for his trademark high-pitched laugh. Raj has some unique dance moves, such as placing his chin on his fist like “The Thinker” pose. He has also been known to try and impress older women by putting on a "super cool deep voice".

Frederick (Freddy) "Rerun" Stubbs (Fred Berry) is a bumbling, comedic young man, commonly seen wearing a red beret and matching suspenders. He is often teased by his friends for being overweight and unintelligent. However, Rerun is a very skilled dancer and is commonly seen entering dance contests or trying to get on TV commercials. He is nicknamed "Rerun" because, due to his failing grades in school, "every summer he has to go to school to rerun the stuff he did all winter." In the third season, Rerun shares an apartment with Raj and works as a page for ABC. His trademark phrase is "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?!?!?!"
