RIP Louis Gossett Jr

87. Didn't realize he was that old. First black man to win a supporting acting oscar. Emmy for Roots.
No cause of death given yet, but neither prostate cancer nor covid could get him.

As great as I thought he was in Officer my first thought always seems to go to Toy Soldiers.

Much respect for his work.

He had such an intense and menacing glare which made him a perfect fit for roles like An Officer and a Gentleman. I could watch he and R. Lee Ermey play drill instructors all day long.

He was the host for an off-site all-staff event I attended in the very late 90s for the NJ US base of one of the big pharma companies. Don't know if this was a reflection of the acting roles he was being offered or a chance to make a small fortune for a days work playing Foley as a motivational speaker.

And the question remains. where were you.

I had no idea he was that old either. He was a great actor to watch.
