let's also not forget he was the owner of mc'dowells.

 

Oddly, I noticed that that has been on a LOT in the past couple weeks. 

 

RIP

He, along with Esther Rolle, were the real stars of Good Times, Dyn-o-mite aside. 🙄
 

Their portrayals convincingly conveyed the family situation Norman Lear wanted America to see.

 

His was a pioneering type of roll as well as a TV show.

TMZ on X: "'Good Times' star John Amos has died 💔 #RIP https://t.co/ZjMrKhRGrZ" / X

 

There have been so many false death posts on TwitterX I do not pay attention but Variety has it too.

I remember him more from Kunta Kinte in "Roots".  I watched Good Times occasionally but it was not a show which was memorable to me.
