From Good Times To Bad: Whatever Happened To The Cast Of Good Times?

James Amos Is In Everything

As another seasoned actor on the show, John Amos went on to have an incredibly prolific career in film and television. Not only was he nominated in 1977 for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor for a Single Appearance in a Drama or Comedy Series for his role in Roots, he is also credited with having won the most TV Land Awards over any other actor for his work on Roots, Good Times, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Amos’s most recent acting credits include Two and a Half Men and 30 Rock, and he’s even appeared on Netflix’s The Ranch—although that’s hardly a taste of his filmography.
