Sinbad is thanking fans for their support after making his first public appearance since suffering a stroke in 2020.
Last week, the comedian and actor made a virtual appearance at the A Different World HBCU College Tour event on Feb. 29 at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
On Monday, Sinbad took to Instagram to reflect on the positive response he received after joining other members of the A Different World cast via Zoom. Sinbad starred as Coach Walter Oakes on the NBC sitcom, which ran for six seasons from 1987 to 1993.
"Man, that was so cool. A Different World going to Atlanta, going to Morehouse College and on campuses and getting a chance to be on Zoom and say something to the kids," Sinbad shared. "It's wild that the kids even know who I am. That's beautiful."
He continued, "Thank you to everybody who's been praying for me and saying good things and supporting me during this time in my life. It means a lot to me. It means so much when I hear from y'all, and you tell me ‘Sinbad keep going,' ‘Sinbad, we're sending prayers. Those words are important and I feel it—I'm reading these things, I'm gonna try to answer as many as I can."
Sinbad conclued his clip by teasing a return to the public spotlight.
"Expect to see more of me soon," he said. "Don't freak out if you turn around and I'm standing right behind you. ‘Sinbad I can't believe you're here,' You can't believe it? You better believe it. Miracles happen."
The actor's filmography includes many classic 1990s comedies, including Jingle All the Way, Good Burger, First Kid, and more.
Sinbad's family announced the comedian had suffered a stroke in October 2020. The stroke was triggered after a blood clot traveled from his heart to his brain.
