Such a great actor.
Kunta Kinte
Admiral Fitzwallace on the West Wing
And his greatest role, the owner of McDowell's in Coming to America!

Gordy on Mary Tyler Moore
I still recall being shellshocked when his character on Good Times was killed off
His pairing w Stacy Keach as gay couple on Two and A half men was pretty good too
Rip to a great actor

Let’s not forget The Beastmaster. He was great in everything he did. It’s sad there seems to be some nutty family drama surrounding his final days and his death. Some of his kids found out he passed on the news a month and a half later? Yikes

I listened to this during a long drive yesterday; really great stuff. Even if you can’t stand Gilbert Gottfried the vast majority is John Amos telling lots of stories about his extremely interesting life, including his football career. About 75 minutes.
