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.

I didn’t watch Good Times, so I know him from Die Hard 2 as well. “I’m your kind of asshole.”

This reminded me that after Betty White died, I said that cast of the Mary Tyler Moore Show has been wiped out... and someone brought up John Amos still being alive - but I didn't think he counted as he was in only 13 episodes. If you counted him, then his death solidifies it now.

...Eddie Murphy is killing and eating his former co-stars!! 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.

I guess TMZ has someone at the LA Coroner's office on payroll
It was leaked that Amos died from heart failure

Re: John Amos dead at 84
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.
