Yep.
No problem, but I've always seen him as one of the few icons of strong black male characters on television, so I'm just surprised to see him in this role.
The industry is just infatuated with emasculating black men.
We are seen as being at the far end of the spectrum in terms of masculinity.
When this cat wore a dress in one movie and played a fag in another....I was hurt.
or maybe yall know something that I dont?
Why?? He's played a wide variety of roles in his 40 years in the business.
So white men should play BLACK gay men??? How would that work??
Isnt that what you're doing?
Dammit now Im confused...

certain actors you are always going to associated them with one role and with Amos you are always going to associate him as the hard nosed no nonsense father from Good times. the first time i saw him on 2 1/2 men playing that character it just struck me as strange
Oh yeah
On that "Two and a half Men" shit, they had this cat playing the "tough Ill whip your ass role", so I guess that the writers and directors had to portray a "faggot brotha" to balance out the white male self-esteem and self-image.

We all know how Hollywood does us but at some point these cats need to stop taking those roles, man.

At the height of Gottimania in NY, he along with Mickey Rourke and other Hollywood types were at support rallies for the cockroach.
Perhap Gotti hooked him up back in the day and he still owes some zittis.

You're just figuring out that John Amos is on Two And A Half Men?
The nigga was a broadway actor. I'm sure that playing gay doesn't phase him in the least.

Usually , when a valid question isn't answered , That's an admission of guilt
tell him it ain't true homey , tell him
And dont forget the black man who built his empire by dressing as a woman.
