      Agreed. There's something about him. He's not what you'd call attractive as in a sexual way but, there's something about his spirit that pulls you in. I've felt this way since I was a child and, I was born the year the original show was cancelled. 🤔🌈

    It's sad that Hollywood dosen't give Black actors a pay raise on a hit show compared to White casted shows. Look at the sitcom "Friends" demanding 1 million dollars per episode and they got what they demanded. Double standard.

      Friends sitcom copied the sitcom Living Single. Living Single castmates only got a small fraction of pay compared to Friends. Living Single was much funnier than Friends dry dull humor. Living Single lasted 5 seasons barely because Fox Channel wanted to cancel it earlier so they couldn't get syndication. Old trick to not give the actors residuals.

    I was Raj and Raj was me! Even though he's 2 decades older, when I saw WHAT'S HAPPENIN'? and Ernest Lee Thomas as Raj, I knew that as a skinny darkskinned guy with glasses, it's possible to be a cool nerd and most importantly, get women.😉 Raj always had beautiful sisters on his arm or tried to get with. Thank you Ernest Lee Thomas for all your sacrifices and breakthroughs as a human being along with your artistic and cultural contributions.
    * Soulful Screen TV this was a great feature. But it was totally tasteless & disrespectful to use questionable sources to exposes estimates about Mr. Thomas' net worth. This can effect the quotes they request for futher work and can be dangerous for working actors who do not travel with 24/7 security. Save that for 9-figure celebs with bodyguards who do not care about salacious rumors, Mr. Thomas and others are legendary working artists. Thank you SSTV and be as great as you potentially can be.

    My son told him how much I liked him and his acting.
    They chatted about 20 mins.
    Mr. Thomas asked for my address and sent me the nicest autographed photo.

    I've noticed on several occasions every time black or brown actors ask for a raise their show is cancelled. New York Under Cover for example. Their white counterparts never face this type of rejection even though in most cases they're not funny and couldn't act themselves out of a damn paper bag.

      Unless you count Suzanne Somers and Farrah Fawcett, they both got canned for asking for more money. Herve"Tattoo" Villachaize got booted off Fantasy island because he asked for a major raise, and Bob Denver got booted from Gilligan's island for asking for more money. Also, the girl from the "love boat", she wanted more money for her drug use and got replaced by a sober actress half her age.

    I keep thinking Mr. Thomas would make a great evil mastermind in a Black Panther movie. Like a Mugabe type character. He's got that sort of sinister aura beneath a studious poise.

    Fred "Re-Run" Berry ruined the show do to wanting more money after one season.
    Ernest Thomas and Jimmie Walker should have co-produced a show right after What's Happening! and Good Times were both canceled, their characters Roger "Raj" Thomas and James "JJ" Evans Jr. reprised their roles in a crossover series, which both Raj and JJ are both excepted to a HBCU, and they become college roommates at that HBCU. Pretty much a prequel to A Different World.

    Ironically Martin Lawrence use to always say "wh wh what's happening" on the Martin show when he played white Bob. I wonder if he was paying homage in some way to the What's Happening show. Here is a clip. th-cam.com/video/cCtersHkFSc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WHi1owbou4F47dPI

    I noticed that Earnest (Raj) got a bit angry towards the end of his life. Now I see why. The last movie I saw him in was Malcolm "X". That show was a great part of my childhood. I'm sorry he lost it all. Fred Berry did a great job helping the guys lose their show🙄🙄. He's like BLM, making trouble then bouncing 😂😂😂. The way Earnest describes the downside of drugs reminds me of what hell is like. From the descriptions, in hell you get reminded of whatever was wrong.

    Excellent actor. He had the looks of an actor. He had a tall, slender frame, and his fingers were long and expressive. Everything about this guy, physically, made him someone to keep your eye on. Also, he could act. My understanding is that he passed on.
