Berry also appeared in a revival of the show, <i>What's Happening Now!</i>, leaving after one year over a contractual dispute. He was married six times, to four different women (according to a CNN report). The actor claimed to have kicked his various addictions in 1985, became a Baptist minister in Madison, Alabama, and legally changed his middle name to "Rerun" in 1988. In later years Berry appeared in a cameo in <i>Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star</i>. He died in his sleep in 2003 ("natural causes"), though perhaps related to a recent stroke or his diabetes. <p>    <a href="/event/633/000064441/">Suicide Attempt</a> <br>    <a href="/event/187/000071971/">Stroke</a> <br>    Risk Factors: <a href="/lists/783/000064591/">Diabetes</a>, <a href="/lists/779/000064587/">Obesity</a>, <a href="/lists/780/000064588/">Alcoholism</a><br> <p>     <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">TELEVISION</font><br>    <a href="/tv/367/000068163/">What's Happening Now!</a> Rerun<br>    <a href="/tv/366/000068162/">What's Happening!!</a> Rerun<br>    <a href="/tv/363/000068159/">Soul Train</a> dancer<br><p>     <font size=-2 face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">FILMOGRAPHY AS ACTOR</font><br>    <a href="/films/562/000061379/">Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (3-Sep-2003)</a> · Himself<br>    <a href="/films/380/000091107/">Big Money Hustlas (18-Jul-2000)</a> <br>    <a href="/films/099/000173577/">Vice Squad (22-Jan-1982)</a> <br><p> <br> <p> <table> <tr> <td align=right valign=middle style="padding-right: 5px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 22px; font-style: italic; color: #ff3333;">New!</span><br> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/" class="fotmlink" style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #dd0000;">NNDB MAPPER</a></td> <td valign=middle align=right style="border-left: 1px solid #bbb; padding-left: 5px;">Create a map starting with</td> <td valign=middle align=right><a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=23832"><img src="/man.gif" border=0 style="padding: 2px;"></a></td> <td align=left valign=middle> <a href="http://mapper.nndb.com/start/?id=23832">Fred Berry</a></td> </tr> </table> <font face="Trebuchet MS, arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="-2">Requires Flash 7+ and Javascript.</font> <br><br><p> <font size=-1>Do you know something we don't?</font><br> <font size=-1><a href="http://commentary.nndb.com/submit/feedback/?id=23832" rel="nofollow">Submit a correction or make a comment about this profile</a></font><br> <p> <br><br><p><font size=-1>Copyright ©2019 Soylent Communications</font><p> </td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </td> <td width=180 align="center" valign="top" style="padding: 0px 0px 8px 25px;"></td></tr> </table> </center> </body> </html>
