Trivia
He sued Castle Rock Television for $1.47 million (the amount he would have received for the 2nd season of his TV series The Lazarus Man.) on 11th April 2000 because Lazarus Man was canceled because he had cancer. He alleged he did not receive payments from the company. Apparently Urich and his production company entered into an agreement with Castle Rock in 1995 for Urich to act in the Lazarus Man pilot. Under the deal, he was to be paid $70,000 per episode for the first season and $73,000 an episode the second season. In July 1996, he informed Castle Rock that he had cancer and would have to undergo treatment, but the suit said at no time was Urich unable to perform his duties. Then Castle Rock terminated the agreement a month later. Urich underwent chemotherapy, radiation treatments and two operations in the mid-1990s to seemingly successfully fight synovial cell sarcoma, a rare cancer that attacks the joints.
