Bradley Alan Lieberman was an American Actor and member of the Jewish Actor's Guild. Born on January 26, 1968 He played in several films, including "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" (1977), "Pandemonium" (1982), "Max Dugan Returns" (1983), "Blame It On The Night" (1984), "Sid And Nancy" (1986), "Circle Of Violence: A Family Drama" (1986), as well as performing as an "Extra" in multiple television shows and movies. Bradley was known to his friends and some family members as "Brad", however his father, Arthor "Art" Lieberman, always called him "Bradley". Bradley was the youngest of 5 children born to "Art" Lieberman, 4 boys and 1 girl, two of which died at very young ages, one brother of Brad was lost to Leukemia , another brother, Barry Alan Lieberman was struck by a car at age 10, on the corner while waiting at a crosswalk in Los Angeles County, California, USA. "Brad" loved working as an actor, and had dreams of becoming a big star, and hung out with other stars, like Actress Kimberly Fields ("Facts Of Life" star), whom he considered one of his best friends. Bradley had 7 nieces and nephews, two who were very close in age as Bradley, Todd Alan Lieberman, and David Alan Lieberman, born to his brother Gene Lieberman, one he didn't know about, also born to his brother Gene, who was ironically named David Alan Lieberman as well. His brother Gene kept the other son David a secret until after his death in 1987 of Leukemia, when David went in search of his father, and was reunited with a family he never knew he had, and a half brother who bared the same name. Brad never got to meet him, due to his untimely death on May 31, 1987, heading home from his brother Gene's house on a Honda Elite, when a Drunken and Drugged Driver sped through a traffic light that was red, hitting and ultimately killing Bradley from internal bleeding. Bradley was eagerly waiting the birth of his great nephew, Bryan Cody Lieberman, Todd Alan Lieberman and Brad's friend Lynette Yvonne Shier's son, born just two months after Brad's death, on July 23, 1987, his second great nephew in a year's time. The first, Christopher Lloyd Lieberman named after actor Christopher Lioyd, was born to David Alan Lieberman and his wife, Barbara Lieberman, just 8 months earlier. The other nieces and nephews were born to his sister Debbie, who is the only surviving sibling to Bradley today. Bradley Alan Lieberman is tragically missed by all his friends and family. His services, held at the Jewish Temple in the San Fernando Valley, California, USA, was filled with hundreds of people who loved him, both in the movie industry, and family and friends outside the movie industry. It was so packed, there was not enough room for them, and many had to stay in the parking lot outside, awaiting their chance to come in and pay their respects. Bradley Alan Lieberman was only 19 years old when his movie career was put to a halt by the drugged out and drunk driver on that fateful evening of May 31, 1987, only two blocks from his home in the San Fernando Valley, where he lived with his father Art, and mother Martha Lieberman, Martha was a quadriplegic at the time of Bradley's death. Who knows how far his movie career would have gone, with his fiery red carrot top hair and very handsome features, his dedication to his roles, his friendly, fantastic, humorous and witty personality. He could have truly been a great star! Bradley Alan Lieberman is greatly missed. Hide
