R.I.P. Louis Gossett Jr.
Passed away, yesterday aged 87.
Among Gossett’s many roles on the big and small screens, his best-known include drill instructor Gunnery Sergeant Emil Foley in
“An Officer and a Gentleman,” for which he became the first Black actor to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

Fine performer RIP.

RIP, superb actor.
"Mayo-nnaise!"
Sad to hear, I thought his performance in An Officer and a Gentleman was outstanding.
My wife didn't know who his was.
So last night I said she was in for a treat and we watched Midnight Sting aka Diggstown. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104107
In my head, it was epic. But it hasn't aged well since 1992.
Wife thought my choice of film was bad!
I was tempted to show her Iron Eagle, but I think that would have been worse!
Sad news. One of the defining films of that decade.
He was one of the more memorable recurring characters on Rockford Files, playing a rival PI to Rockford. Should've been a bigger star but found fame a bit late (45 in 'An officer...'). Similar tale to many of his generation of black actors.
Sad news.RIP
RIP
Top movie scene that.
