Conrad Bain, the actor who played the father figure on the sitcom "Diff'rent Strokes," has died, a friend of the Bain family confirmed to FOX411.

Bain died of natural causes Monday night in Livermore, Calif., at the age of 89. His daughter Jennifer told TMZ: "He was an amazing person. He was a lot like Mr. Drummond, but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father."

Bain's death leaves only one surviving member from his "Diff'rent Strokes" TV family. Dana Plato, who played his daughter Kimberly, died in 1999 of a drug overdose. Gary Coleman, who played adopted son Arnold Jackson, died in 2010 after a fall down a flight of stairs in his home. Only Todd Bridges, who played his adopted son Willis Jackson, remains.

Wasn't he a gay crack whore? No...that was the dad from ALF.

"His life was so out of control that he didn't care about exposure to AIDS.
...
We would meet twice a week and pick up homeless men, take them home and pay them $100 for sex.

Max had unprotected sex with me and with the homeless guys. And he did drugs with me and the homeless men.

Max even agreed to let me film two gay sex videos with him. They're both with homeless men we picked up on the street!"

Todd Bridges calls him 'father figure'

Mr. Drummond is calling from the Great Beyond:

"No! No! I did not have anything to do with any of those kids! They were NOT mine and I only ever saw them at work. No influence from this guy here! None!"

I wonder if the fall cause him to have a unusual sort of...stroke?
