RIP John.
Rest in Peace, John. Thanks for the memories.............
He died on August 21st and it took over a month to announce it??? He was my favorite on Good Times, damn just sucks
RIP.
It is sad when the following statement now brings to mind a completely different context:
“It is with heartfelt sadness that I share with you that my father has transitioned,”
I am sorry to hear this. I have always liked him and have been rooting for him every time i've seen him on television. I saw something this last year where he appeared in a fairly recent show, and I remarked to others how hale and healthy he was looking for a man of his age. I think it was the remake of "Coming to America."
Also liked him in "Beast Master." He was a cool character.
Dear Lord what a week: Maggie Smith, Kris Kristofferson, Pete Rose, Dikembe Mutumbo, John Ashton, and now John Amos. Prayers for them all.
Always liked him as an actor
RIP John.
RIP, John.
Along with Ralph Waite and Michael Landon one of the best three father figures on television.
RIP!
What a good actor. So good in Good Times.
Had a part as Major Grant, commander of a thoroughly compromised special forces Army unit in Die Hard 2.
He played Chelsea’s father’s homosexual boyfriend in Two and a Half Men.
DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP
I always liked John Amos.
Best line I remember from his Good Times role was with a government bureaucrat who told him that he understood where he was at.
His reply, “How do you know where I’m at if you ain’t been where I been. You understand where I’m coming from?
Dang.
He was the glue that held that show together.
RIP, Mr. Amos. I remember him most in “Good Times,” but he was a good actor in everything he did.
Happy he is dead. Be with Jesus, man, the ultimate goal!
Your family will miss you, of course!
Myself and the wife back in 2011 were taking a trip from L.A. to Lake Tahoe via Reno. John sat down next to me (in a wheelchair with an assistant) at the LAX Terminal. We struck up a conversation as I recognized him, he seemed a good guy.
He was an Football player back in the day and I mentioned my Uncle who was a USC, NYG and Rams player back in the day and he mentioned he knew my Uncle to some degree. To be honest I would not have guessed he would had made it another 13 years as he seemed frail. I guess its possible he was recovering from some medical procedure and it was a temporary situation?
