John Amos Dies: ‘Good Times’, ‘Roots’ Actor Was 84
John Amos, the actor whose characters in Good Times, Roots and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, died August 21 in Los Angeles of natural causes at age 84.

YepI’ll always remember him as that old so and so, Admiral Fitzwallace.
I immediately thought of him being Will's girlfriend Lisa's dad on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air although he was only on the show for 3 episodes, or Uncle Burton Guster on Psych even though that was a one-time thing. He just always seemed to steal whichever scenes he was in on any show even as a guest character. Then of course his bigger roles. Losing a lot of the longtime actors now that many of us grew up watching on TV and in films.I’ll always remember him as that old so and so, Admiral Fitzwallace.
