Remembering John Amos: A TV Icon

LOS ANGELES – John Amos, the beloved actor who captured hearts as the family patriarch on the iconic 1970s sitcom “Good Times” and earned critical acclaim for his role in the groundbreaking miniseries “Roots,” has passed away at the age of 84.

Amos, who portrayed James Evans Sr. on “Good Times,” brought to life one of television’s first Black two-parent families. The show, created by Norman Lear and Mike Evans, ran from 1974-79 on CBS and resonated with audiences across the country.

Throughout his career, Amos showcased his talent on the big screen as well. He appeared in films such as “Let’s Do It Again,” “Coming to America,” “Die Hard 2,” and “Uncut Gems,” leaving an indelible mark on Hollywood.

Despite facing challenges in the industry, Amos never wavered in his commitment to representing positive images of Black families on screen. His legacy extends far beyond his acting roles, as he inspired generations of viewers and fellow actors alike.

Amos’ dedication to his craft and his impact on the entertainment industry will forever be remembered. As we mourn his passing, let us celebrate the remarkable life and career of this legendary actor.

Rest in peace, John Amos. Your talent and spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
