We know how we feel now, but take yourself back to when you watched episode when he came to dinner. My impressions was, "uh oh. Another impersonator/comedian". We have JJ and Bookman already. If he was level-headed like Larry, he woulda been OK. He was trying to be too funny at times.

The funny part was after he married Thelma, he became one of them: Poor and depressed:lol:

I was checking out the imdb site and I see that he turns 57 next month. If he's still around and reads sites such as these, I wonder how he feels that most fans didn't care for him at all. That probably why he's in hiding. :confused:

I've always loved Keith and Im glad he was apart of the show. He was fine as hell too...Anyway yeah he is 56..pretty old. I wonder what happened to him and I wish someone who knows him will tell him he has people on these boards and IMDB looking for him. I wanna see what he looks like now.

I liked Ben, I thought his character was so needed in the last season.

And I seriously doubt that he really cares if anyone liked or disliked a character that he played over 30 years ago.

I don't know what Bens' financial situation is, but according to what I have read, he hasn't had any television work in over 20 years. Maybe he said "the hell with television" and became a CEO or something.

He was a nice foil for J.J

Oh yes Brie. I had the name Ben and Keith both going on in my head and I must have came up with Ken. Okay, so I checked the name Ben Powers and this pic came up: :eek:

^ Remember the dream JJ had about being white? I guess this is what the character Keith Anderson would look like white. :lol:

I thought Ben Powers was REALLY cute. :lol: Of course, no one could compare with Gregory Sierra (:eyes: :heart: :lol:), but he was not bad at all. I don't blame Thelma for choosing him. :lol:

Well Irene, that's definitely not the Ben Powers from Good Times.

I think he did do a little more acting after Good Times went off the air, but not a whole lot. I didn't like him on GT because I didn't think he was all that funny........goofy maybe, but not funny.
