The first Alan Willis was seen in season one and then another actor played the role of Alan Willis in 1978. I can't recall what happened to him.

He was like the white sheep of the family. They never really elborated what the situation was with him, if i"m not mistaken. He could have been a interesting character to some degree.

The first Alan Willis was much better

They tried to make him close with Jenny.

Personally I thought Jenny and Alan were the wrong shade to be the product of a interracial marriage.

I agree, but I saw a movie on cable recently with Larenz Tate as the son of a brunette white woman and a light complexioned Jamaican man. Larenz' brother in the movie was white looking with straight sandy blond/brown hair, but they never elaborated on whether he was the mother's son from a previous relationship. Larenz' girlfriend was singer Deborah Cox and her mother was Caucasian and her birth father was light skinned black actor Clark Johnson.

I had friends whose parents were medium brown: one child was very dark, one was extremely light, the third was reddish in coloring, but no one would have mistaken the lighter two for being Caucasian. Alan Willis looked like a white man no one whould have though he was latino or black. I guess it's possible in real life but I haven't met any siblings like Jenny and Alan.

Alan was a bohemian who traveled the world, lived in communes etc, which is why he and conservative Tom didn't get along. I guess he went off on some trip. Of all the people listed in the main titles he was the least significant.

The first Alan Willis looked a like a latino. The second one didn't at all.

The first Alan Willis played the latino officer "Martine" in the first Police Academy movie. I believe that's the only other thing I've seen him in besides The Jeffersons.

Which Alan Willis was played by "Jay Hammer". Number 2?
He went on to soap opera stardom and played (may still) newspaper man Flethcher Reade on the Guiding Light for many
years.

His character was weak which is why he was no longer seen after his first season on the show. Damm I wish the first Alan Willis could have been on the show longer. One of his Classic Quotes to George

"I say, your teeth are yellow and your breath is bad, get out of my face before you wish you had"

LOL!!!

ROTF!

I dont remember the first Alan at all.

Well you probably don't remember him because unlike the second Alan, he only appeared one time which was the last episode of season one. Here are the other two quotes of the first Alan to George

"If it wasn't for the fact that you were five foot two, like white on rice I'll be all over you"

"If you want respect you have to earn it, so cover your nose before i burn it."

George also gave Allan ten and said, "But your only half-white which makes you half-alright."

He was also mentioned the final season episode,"Sayonara pt.1" as not being able to make it to the party.

I don't remember the first Alan at all. Jay Hammer did indeed go on to star on Guiding Light as Fletcher Reade for many years, and last I heard, he still writes screenplays and such.

heard he moved to detroit or missippi he was snowed n there

True- they made him a regular and had this big 2 parter to introduce him to the show and supposedly bring some tension, honestly after the 2 parter and the episode where he dates the banker's daughter he could have just as easily not been there at all; he added almost nothing to the show of any real consequence and dropped out of sight after just 8 episodes (was he fired? What's the story behind that one?). Honestly, Leroy brought more to the table that season than Alan did.

HE was so different from the first alan and that's why I had no interest at all. It was nothing HIP about him

heard he moved to detroit or missippi he was snowed n there
That's exactly what it was. He was snowed in. He wanted to be there for his niece, but he couldn't. And you spelled Mississippi wrong.

Yup - George and Allan playing the dozens was hilarious. :rofl:

And the producers f*cked up again because when Alan Willis returned, it was a DIFFERENT ACTOR-lol

So the NEW ACTOR was playing the Dozens with George in season 5 when he came back but it wasn't the same because it was the original Alan who had that UNIQUE VOICE

The actor who played Allan #1 was a funny guy - whatever happened to him, anyway?

I know that The guy who played Tom Son did go on to do a Soap Opera I think it was Guiding Light

He had moved on to something else by time.

That's a shame, because he was really funny with George. Too bad we never got to see him again.

I forgot to ask did you enjoy George and Helen playing the dozens after he played them with Alan?-lol

Helen-"Look man, I am happy with what I got because he is everything you are not"

George-"I know you are happy with what you got because you yourszelf ain't that red hot"


LOL
