Louis Gossett Jr has shuffled off.
87 years old.
I am at a loss to think of a role he played that was poorly done.
He clearly wasn't afraid to take on challenges.
Normally you wouldn't see an actor from something like Enemy Mine in something like An Officer and a Gentleman.
For better or worse I always think of him in the Iron Eagle movies. There's something so classic and 80s about those movies and how can you not love Chappy?!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he was a class act. I don't recall him being a known social justice warrior. Just an honest manwho worked at his craft.

Agreed. -- db
ReplyDeleteHe was in a western who's name I do not remember. He played a bounty hunter.
ReplyDeleteActor: You shot him in the back!
Gossett: His back was towards me.
