RIP Lou Gossett Jr
 
One of my favorites has passed. Dude worked his ass off and was extraordinarily prolific. Too many movies and shows to even list... But for me, I'll never forget him from the Roots television mini-series, Officer and a Gentlemen, and maybe a little corny, but Diggstown. Cornier yet, his turn in Iron Eagle always stood out, and kinda made that piece of crap legit simply by his presence. See ya around big man...

Yep. One of the first things I thought of was Officer and a Gentleman. He was fantastic in that.

87. He had a good run.

I never thought of him as being that old. But:

Quote:

Gossett became friendly with James Dean and studied acting with Marilyn Monroe, Martin Landau and Steve McQueen at an offshoot of the Actors Studio taught by Frank Silvera.

In 1959, Gossett received critical acclaim for his role in the Broadway production of “A Raisin in the Sun” along with Sidney Poitier, Ruby Dee and Diana Sands.
RIP

Diggstown was always a guilty pleasure movie that I enjoyed. RIP.

RIP... didn't he have a talk show later in his career also?

He was really good in The Choirboys and it's a movie everyone should see once.

He was great in a little known Western called El Diablo. It's available on YouTube for free.

RIP

His last words were D-O-R

I know the name. I was looking through his filmography trying to find what I've seen him in. Apparently I only know him from Boardwalk Empire.

R.I.P.
