His role as GySgt Foley in "An officer and a Gentleman" is one of the best portrayals of a Marine Corps DI. Right up there with R. Lee Ermy and Jack Webb.
I still remember watching Enemy Mine with my grandpa and seeing silent tears fall from his eyes. That helped me understand racism at a very early age and helped me overcome it, we are all one, even if we are shattered.
Eight decades in stage, film and TV, one of the most versatile actors of our time and a humble man who will always be remembered. Thanks for sharing your talent , much respect… Godspeed
Another legend gone..Mr Gossett you have marked your place as one of the finest actors Thank you for being apart of my life..Good movies like A Raisin In the Sun,An Officer And A Gentleman,mini series Roots.RIP Mr Gossett
First thing i ever saw Mr. Gosset in was Roots. Then the movie Iron Eagle. Then i started following his career. Thank you for all the wonderful productions you left for us to enjoy.
@@beulahokonkwo The industry as a whole. After his role in An Officer and a Gentleman, he stated he was not getting ANY call backs for any of the roles he auditioned for. You would think Hollywood would have been beating down his door, but that did not happen. Even with those awards, his talent was horrifically underutilized. I am glad they got him for the remake of The Color Purple, but I wish his role had been bigger.
There mere fact you mentioned his performance in this movie (one of my FAVORITES and I LOVED Mr. Gossett's (w RESPECT) performance,) and remembered it from such a young age... Gold Stars for You my dear GOLD⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'm so grateful to say that I knew him for a short time in the early 90's and he helped me a great deal RIP Louis Gossett Jr. we can never fully repay you for who you were, much love fly high in the spirit world uncle.
Rest in Eternal Peace Brother Lou Gossett Jr.. he was one of the Greatest Actors in history and one of the Coolest !!! Sincere heartfelt condolences to all of his family members and closest friends and colleagues. ✌✊🙏🙏🏽🙏🏿😥😥💕💕
I joined the Air Force in 1988 and remember watching Iron Eagle II with my Dad that year. I'll be watching An Officer And A Gentleman tonight in your honor Lou. Thank you for the memories and your legacy will live on. RIP
I watched roots last month !!. An officer and a gentleman is one of my favorite movies the fact that i didn't recognize that he played in both says a lot. What a amazing actor! May you rest in peace my brother.
I want to thank this man for the acting skills that entertaines me as a kid. I would stop what I was doing to watch him. A real O.G. in my eyes. I appreciate him every much! God bless! May Heaven be your play to be entertained.
😢😢😢 Rip Great Great Great Louis im from Mexico city and my dad showed me his movies and since that moment i said wow he is so so great actor!, we’ll miss you Louis
RIP Mr. Louis Gossett, Jr. I loved that he was such a versatile actor ranging from Dramatic (Roots) to Comedic (Good Times and The Jeffersons)... Grew up watching him..Saying special prayers for his family and friends... Loved this gentleman! ❤🙏🏽
RIP sir. I remember watching Iron Eagle as a kid with my mother and almost tearing up when I thought his character had died in the movie. But that was only one of many. So many roles and always so well done. Mr. Gossett just had that style. And from the interviews you can see & hear a good man giving life lessons.
R.I.P to the legendary Mr. Louis Gossett Jr. I will forever love and appreciate his major talent and contribution to the art of acting. He was excellent at his craft. Condolences to his family and close friends. 💐 🌹 🌸
The odd thing about His passing was I didn’t know he passed away. I had the movie “The Principle “ in my utube movie save. It came on after I was done watching a movie, I didn’t put it on. My friend came in the room and told me He passed away. It was so weird because of that movie starting with him in it and he just passed away. Such a Brilliant Actor! Rest in Peace Louis Gossett and Bless You. I will always remember you ❤
God broke the mold when he made this man He was an artist And a rare Gem inside and out ! He will be missed ! Probably 1 of the nicest people you would ever want to know!
Loved this man's acting. He was in so many movies that I watched growing up .... Iron Eagle, An Officer and a Gentleman, Toy Soldiers, Enemy Mine, The Principal, etc. Another part of my childhood is gone.
This breaks my heart,a wonderful actor,a great human being,an incredible family man. I apologize if I shed a tear or two,he was one of those people you love without meeting them,thank you for your hard work and your legacy,go R.I.P. endless love to you,prayers for your family,may God bless them all.
My condolences goes out to Louise Gossett Jr family. We lost another legendary actor. I've seen him in the movie officer and gentlemen and raisin in the sun and other movies. His legacy will live on. He will be missed. Rip Louise Gossett Jr 👼🙏😥

This was a brilliant video and Mr Louis Gossett Jr, was even more brilliant...Rest easy King....I love what he said his grandmother would probably say if she were still around....GOD WAS HERE BEFORE YOU WERE....LET HIM CONTINUE TO LEAD YOU!!💜🙏🙌
What a consummate professional class act he was, and always will be. I cherished every movie he was ever involved in. He'll be greatly missed in my era of great TV and the Big screen. . God bless and grace him in His arms, and his family.
R.I.P. Louis Gossett.
Thank you for sharing your talents.
Prayers to his family.
He shared his cocaine too..... with his 7 year old son and two other young children
His ex accused him of that during a custody trial and it was proved to be untrue. Shame on you
@@TruSoulDj Are you trying to say that he made sure that children were not around when he snorted his cocaine?
Yeah, as supporting racism and child abuse, in Lansing New York
His role as GySgt Foley in "An officer and a Gentleman" is one of the best portrayals of a Marine Corps DI. Right up there with R. Lee Ermy and Jack Webb.
I still remember watching Enemy Mine with my grandpa and seeing silent tears fall from his eyes. That helped me understand racism at a very early age and helped me overcome it, we are all one, even if we are shattered.
"God was here before you got here. So you might as well calm down and let Him run things." - Grandma Ray
It mean sit back and wait for something to change. I'm glad MLK grandmother didn't tell him that.
What an actor. All of the legends of my childhood are leaving here.
But he gave cocaine to his 7 year old son and two other young children to use
I feel it too. 🤔❤️
Eight decades in stage, film and TV, one of the most versatile actors of our time and a humble man who will always be remembered. Thanks for sharing your talent , much respect…
