The actor, whose death was announced this week, made it known he didn’t like the direction the hit show was going. His character was then killed off.

The actor died at the age of 84 in August 2024, but his family didn’t confirm his death until two months later.

John Amos, who starred as the family patriarch on the hit 1970s sitcom “Good Times” and earned an Emmy nomination for his role in the seminal 1977 miniseries “Roots,” has died.
