Louis Gossett Jr Has Left The Building

Just that. Pretty good character played in entertaining films over the years.

RIP Chappie - even tho Iron Eagle is the Temu version of Top Gun.

Always enjoyed him on SNL

Good actor that had some class.

Ya seen that RIP

I liked when he 'haggled' with the Duke in the Shootist....

RIP. I enjoyed watching him over the rears.

He also had a hell of a boxing career as well.

Apparently HE had somewhere else to go...

I have to say, as a kid that grew up in the 80’s, knowing what to do if your Dad was captured by the Libyans was pretty important stuff.

That and kicking Richard Gere in the balls will be the two things I’ll always remember him for.

Rest in Peace Mr. Gossett!!

My favorite Louis Gossett Jr movie is "Diggstown" with James Woods and Bruce Dern - great cast, good flick!

Boy-howdy we got some blind or half gooofy members here that don't never get stuff right.........
