Ah crap. Great actor.

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring—it was peace. — Milan Kundera


The gift which I am sending you is called a dog, and is in fact the most precious and valuable possession of mankind

Looking at his filmography. Completely forgot he was in the original Roots mini-series.

RIP.

RIP, Lou Gossett Jr.
