(CNN) - Actor Ron Palillo, who played class clown Arnold Horshack on the 1970s television comedy "Welcome Back, Kotter," died at age 63.

Palillo died of a heart attack in the Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, area, where he had moved to live near his mother and was active in the theater, his agent, Scott Stander, told CNN.

He was best known for his role as one of the "Sweathogs" -- remedial students at a Brooklyn high school -- on the 1975-79 show, which starred Gabe Kaplan and launched the career of fellow Sweathog John Travolta. Palillo's "Oooh! Oooh!" appeals for attention became the character's catchphrase

My dad used to open up the paper over his morning coffee, and he'd head right to the obituaries.

"I want to make sure I'm not in here", he'd tell all of us.

It was always good for a laugh, until the day he was in there. :(

 
They really do happen in threes.
First Epstein, then Horshack. Does anyone know the health status of Washington?
all is good. he just was in Airplane vs Volcano

When a commercial airliner is trapped within a ring of erupting volcanoes, the passengers and crew must find a way to survive - without landing. But when the relentless onslaught of lava and ash causes fear and distrust amongst those onboard, it isn't just the volcanoes that are life-threatening. Everyone must learn to work together if they are to survive their epic flight of fire.

Wow! Dean Cain and Robin Givens, too. I think I'll catch it at the IMAX.

 
That must have been a stressful time to be an ABC exec. Strassman and Kaplan didn't get along, neither did Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Joyce DeWitt and John Ritter were in a constant fight with Suzanne Somers. David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser didn't show up for work one day because they were in a salary dispute, causing the whole production to get shut down.

At least they took home the crown at Battle of the Network Stars.
