Former Disney Channel star hospitalized with severe illness

Rondell Sheridan, a 66-year-old actor known for playing Victor Baxter on That's So Raven, has been hospitalized with severe pancreatitis as of May 2025.
Sheridan fell ill on April 10 while on the road and was initially misdiagnosed with a gastric issue before receiving a pancreatitis diagnosis at Northridge hospital.
He spent nine days hospitalized, shared updates via Instagram with a shaking voice, and explained his inflamed pancreas requires rest since little medical intervention is possible.
Sheridan has not been able to work since mid-April, and a GoFundMe campaign aiming to raise $35,000 has received nearly 500 donations exceeding $28,000, including a $7,000 gift from an account named Kenan Thompson.
The actor’s condition and financial strain highlight challenges faced by performers with fluctuating work, prompting community support to ease his medical and living expenses while he recovers.
