Basicly, he was a very poor, no-talent, actor who never starred in anything significant again after the Good Times sitcom. He's probably a shift-manager at PetSmart or something. Why? did you like him? do you think he should get his own sitcom?

To DeDe, asking about whatever happened to the guy who played Thelma's husband on Good Times: His name was Ben Powers, and I remember reading back in the mid-'80s that he was missing in Hollywood and the police were looking for him. However, I do not know whatever came of that story, if he was ever found or what. It would seem not, since no one's heard or seen him since.
If anyone knows whatever happened to Ben Powers, please let us know.

I have searched all over the internet for info on him and could not find a single thing on this man. Thanks to whomever got that info that the police has been looking for him. I didn't even know that. Hell, I don't know if they found the brotha. Everybody keep looking for some info. If we cannot find it, lets call E! and have them search.

Keith held his own to me. I liked him.
