In one classic episode, Oliver's character, Sam, was kidnapped by a deranged man. Fans of Diff'rent Strokes hoped that Sam would be written off the show in this episode; unfortunately it didn't happen, and Sam returned in the next episode.

Michael Oliver Ruined Diff'rent Strokes!
Michael Oliver played "Sam McKinney" for the final two seasons (from 1984-1986) of the hit TV sitcom, Diff'rent Strokes. Sam was the son of Maggie McKinney, played by Dixie Carter, a southern belle who married Mr. Drummond (played by Conrad Bain). I thought that the addition of Michael Oliver to the Diff'rent Strokes cast ruined that show. His character was universally hated.

Oliver was definitely the "Cousin Oliver" of Different Strokes. He completely ruined one of my favorite shows. Even though I was a kid I hoped that the kidnapper would dispose of Oliver so he couldn't continue destroying one of my favorite shows. Thanks OLIVER!!!
That is not Michael oliver. That's Danny Cooksey who played "Sam" on Different Strokes. Michael Oliver was barely born then.
Not the same person. LOL
