I was a little kid when I saw that heart attack episode on Good Times.

it felt like he had actually died. It was pretty impactful.

 

when i was in my 20s and saw Coming to America, i was like : What? He is alive?

I remember watching the car accident episode (on re-runs) when I was a kid and it freaked me out. What I didn't know was that a few years later in '88 we would receive the same exact news about my own Dad.

I managed to catch the episode a few months ago on a Good Times marathon and it brought back some heavy shit. Good Times was a great, great show.

RIP.

My favorite Amos movie...

I must have seen Beast Master 1000 times. It was in heavy, heavy cable rotation in the mid 1980s. It had a little bit of everything -- weird cult pagan shit, excessive violence, the whole mind meld with the animal bit, gratuitous nudity, etc. They don't make 'em like that any more.

RIP John Amos... from Kunta Kinte to James Evans Sr. to Cleo McDowell to whoever the fuck he was in Beastmaster. This week has been the absolute pits of the world for celebrity deaths.

This is incorrect. He died because he was the wrong guy in the wrong place at the wrong time.

May he rest here for all eternity.

John Amos' acting career all started thanks to a poem, written about being cut from countless football teams ✍️RIP to one-time Kansas City Chief and one of a kind entertainer. 🙏

This has been a terrible 2 months for the people of Zamunda. First you lose your King and then the Father of the new Queen.

RIP.

Dude was a baller, literally - CSU player, golden gloves boxer, and played for a hot minute in the NFL and then the Canadian league.

This is a bad ass story.  Worth the 9 minutes

Sounds like John Amos died 45 days ago but we just found out now because Amos may have been the victim of elder abuse.

Holy shit
