Re: John Amos dead at 84
Sad news. Even up to current times it was fun seeing him randomly play himself in Uncut Gems.

Re: John Amos dead at 84
As a kid, I was a huge fan of him in The Beastmaster. It was always a treat to see him pop up in movies.

RIP I remember him from Die Hard 2. I think something shady was going on with his family and the estate and the care he was receiving. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/bu...en-1235639539/ |
Re: John Amos dead at 84
I didn’t watch Good Times, so I know him from Die Hard 2 as well. “I’m your kind of asshole.”

Oh wooow. RIP. He meant a lot to Our Community.
I texted my family about his passing yesterday and my sister told me that he died in August. How does something take that long to come up? |

That's what I heard. That's what people are saying. Everyone is wondering why he is doing this terrible thing. That's all people are talking about. |
Re: John Amos dead at 84
I guess TMZ has someone at the LA Coroner's office on payroll
It was leaked that Amos died from heart failure https://deadline.com/2024/10/john-am...m_term=6431290 |
Re: John Amos dead at 84
He was in the hit tv mini-series Roots playing a adult Kunta Kinte.

Yep he died back in August but I believe the Family officially announced it on 10/1 so that's why it's been a big story. But as someone pointed out, there have been some accusations of Elder Abuse that was investigated and some current Family drama. :( |
