Henry Evans is the father of James. He appeared in the episode "The Family Tree", then in "Grandpa's Visit" in Season 4 and "Something Old, Something New" in Season 5. The part of Henry was played in the episodes by veteran stage, film and TV actor Richard Ward.
Richard Ward, (March 15, 1915 – July 1, 1979) made three guest appearances on Good Times as Grandpa Henry Evans.
Richard was a gravel-voiced actor on the stage, TV, and in films, from 1949 until his death. Though best known through his TV appearances late in life, both in situation comedies and police drams, Richard also had an extensive film resume and a distinguished stage career, one of the highlights of the latter being his portrayal of Willy Loman in the 1972 production of "Death of a Salesman", staged in Baltimore's Center Stage (the first African American production of Arthur Miller's signature opus, produced with the playwright's blessing)
An Actors Studio alumnus,[6] Ward belatedly made his television debut in 1950 on the Perry Como Show,[2] later appearing on dramatic anthology series such as Playhouse 90, Studio One, and Hallmark Hall of Fame, before becoming a familiar face on seventies sitcoms like Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, All in The Family, and The Jeffersons.
I remember him from the movie Mandingo as the slave who got caught trying to learn how to read
It always cracked me up how the audience can be heard reacting to certain situations in most episodes..Back in the early-2000s I used to record Good Times in syndication / rerun format on VHS ... primarily for her. Believe it was latenight on TBS or something, as the show aired before I was born, and I knew about the series from 2 sources ... BGOL and my dad. He would quote lines from the show!
