Original "Sweathog" Robert Hegyes dies
Robert Hegyes, who played Jewish Hispanic "Sweathog" Juan Epstein on Welcome Back Kotter, has died. He was 60 years old.
Man, having grown up with Mr. Kotter and the guys it's hard to believe that one of them is gone.
Godspeed, Robert...you'll be missed!

Re: Original "Sweathog" Robert Hegyes dies
that's sad...
Didn't really see many of the Kotter actors after the show (other than Barbarino, that is)...
I didn't realize that the show didn't even make 100 episodes...also didn't realize that the guy that played Washington was in an episode of Chuck, which comes to an end tomorrow...Unfortunately if I like a show, it doesn't make 100 episodes very often, I guess...

LOL! I actually thought about a similar note from Juan's mother when I read the news last night.
I didn't realize they didn't make 100 episodes...it just seemed like that show was around longer. Sigh...they don't make 'em like that anymore!

Re: Original "Sweathog" Robert Hegyes dies
Sorry to hear he died.. He was the best one on the show.
It was a fairly good show but they tried to make it last too long. Toward the end it got really bad.

That's true...it really did weaken toward the end. But the original Sweathogs rocked!
