Oops, We Goofed: Ricky Schroder NOT Dead

OMGG would like to apologize for yesterday’s post in the Obituary section, where we wrongfully reported the passing of actor Ricky Schroder. Our editors have learned that it was the former Silver Spoons star’s career that died, not the actor himself.

“He’d been landing roles based on name recognition, but that stops now,” announced Ken Howard, President of the Screen Actors Guild. “With the cancelation of No Ordinary Family, I can assure you that Mr. Schroder will officially never work again in this town again.”

Schroder, who was ranked #18 in VH1’s list of the 100 Greatest Kid Stars, said he feels like he may still has one more show left in him.

“Bullsh#t,” said Joshua Cox, whose long-running Lifetime series Strong Medicine, was axed just weeks after Schroder came aboard. “Ricky’s portrayal of Dr. Dylan West set dramatic actors back 20 years.”
