BBG News

Actor and comedian known for his work on Disney Channel, Rondell Sheridan, is turning to the kindness of his supporters during his current recovery from pancreatitis.

Actor Sheridan, renowned for his roles as Chill Grill owner Victor Baxter in “That’s So Raven” and the spinoff series “Raven’s Home,” shared on Tuesday that he had been hospitalized back in April due to a health emergency. He further mentioned that this incident would keep him away from work for an extended period. In a video selfie from his hospital bed, Sheridan disclosed his current state and encouraged his Instagram followers to contribute to a GoFundMe campaign established to cover his medical expenses.

66-year-old actor, who starred in “Cory in the House”, shared that his health issues started during a trip when doctors initially suspected a stomach problem and sent him home a few days later. However, soon after returning home, he had to go back to the hospital where they diagnosed him with pancreatitis. He mentioned spending nine days in the hospital for treatment.

Six years ago, Anjelica Huston, who has won an Oscar, disclosed that she had been diagnosed with a type of cancer that wasn’t specified at the time. Now, she shares that she not only made it through this challenging period but also feels a sense of pride about her survival.

He said, ‘After being discharged, I believed I was on the path to healing.’ But unfortunately, his pancreas became inflamed with no immediate treatment other than waiting for the swelling to subside.

Sheridan admitted he hadn’t realized he wouldn’t be able to work while recuperating and promoted his GoFundMe page, asking fans for their kindness with, “I would be truly grateful for” any contributions. The fundraising platform, set up by actor and friend Isabel Beyoso, aims to collect $35,000. By Wednesday afternoon, over 630 donors had contributed more than $37,000, surpassing the fundraiser’s target.

Beyoso explained in the GoFundMe post that Sheridan suffered from a very critical pancreatitis, causing him to be unable to work since April 12 and potentially out of work for an uncertain duration. Furthermore, he mentioned that the actor from “Cousin Skeeter” would primarily need to stay in bed during his recovery process.
