His character of Horshack on "Welcome Back Kotter" was so funny and had a very recognizable and hilarious laugh.
"Welcome Back Kotter" also starred actor/comedian Gabe Kaplan, and actor John Travolta as the character Vinnie Barbarino, as well as other actors, including actor Robert Hegyes( who also passed away earlier this year) as the character Juan Epstein.
