As a kid, he always scared the shit out of me on Good Times. He was so intense. RIP Mr Amos. Thanks for not kicking my ass.

I always liked that show and especially John Amos. He was the head of the house and everyone knew it. Often showed the struggles of life for those living in the slums and how they managed to survive.

RIP sir.

I watch “two & a half men” reruns all the time....funny show! He played the other half of an older gay couple with Stacey Keach - another great actor. Seeing those two as a couple on that show WILL make you laugh every time you watch! I promise! . Great actor who will certainly be missed! RIP!!
