Default Bill Thomas

Call me crazy, but I like the character of Bill Thomas(Raj and Dee's dad) He added something positive to the show. It was nice to see the kid's have a father figure in their life.

If I'm not mistaken he also was Kunta Kinte's father in Roots. He was the one who held him up to the night sky as a baby.

Bill Thomas played by actor Thalmus Rasulala played in two sketches on SNL with Richard Pryor; he also appeared in a couple of episodes of Sanford and Son, and an episode of Good Times.
Rasulala (not his birth name) passed away in 1991...
